Silver Airways/Seaborne Airlines Saab 340 Caribbean Island Hopper

- In this video, we’ll fly from Puerto Rico to St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands on a Saab 340 that belongs to Silver Airways and is operated by Seaborne Airlines.
Back in 2018, Silver Airways bought Seaborne Airlines. Today, Seaborne Airlines flights are booked through Silver Airways, but the airplanes are still emblazoned with the Seaborne Airlines logo.
Seaborne operates a fleet of seaplanes along with airport-based aircraft. Our trip today would be onboard a twenty-five year-old Saab 340B.
Watch this video to experience the San Juan airport, a short - but memorable - flight onboard Silver’s Saab 340 operated by Seaborne, and (perhaps best of all) unmatched views of the Caribbean Sea.

Hope you enjoyed the Saab 340B. As a pilot I flew that exact tail number many times at a company named Chicago Express. A very well constructed, reliable and SAFE aircraft!
Always grateful for your videos. I’m proud to say I’m back at Delta Airlines after being laid off by Virgin Atlantic last year due to Covid. Your videos allow me to enjoy flying without being able to get on a plane. Thank you so much for showing the friendly skies
R u a pilot?
No. I do work in the flight operation now but I’m usually in management
That's great news. I'm very happy for you
I love the Saab 340! I spent half my career working on them. There are very safe, well designed aircraft!
You are so blessed to have the opportunity to travel as you do, especially with such a wonderful creative director as you have. Enjoy!!!
Lol! "Sporty landing" will be borrowed for my new descriptions for challenging landings. Good one!😄
OMG, you went to St. Croix! Best Virgin Island, was just there!
What a memory for me. The SAAB 340 was the first commercial aircraft I ever flew on. A northwest Air-link Mesaba Saab 340. EAU to MSP. Crazy to see them still flying!
I loved the announcement about the sandals! As an aviation *nerd* , I already knew that you should wear closed-toed shoes, but my older brother didn't.
He learned the hard way, with a scolding from my dad 😂
We need more Suzanne! She's funnier than Jeb! 😉 😂
Agreed!!
@@GreenerGrass I ♥ u 2 Jeb lol. Thanks for the reply. Been watching your videos for years! I'm also a Delta guy (first class).
@@madtrucker3757 Weird and unnecessary comment alert....
@@cjap2011 Sorry. Took it down.
Don't hurt his feelings.
I had to stop the video and take a pause and say. Being a commercial pilot has a lot of rewards. On my way to becoming one! Now, back to the video. Thank you brother. Very educational video. I love to travel as well.
The livery colors remind me of Ryanair's 😂
I knew it looked familiar lol
This is exactly what I thought when I saw the aircraft
Same
Funnily enough, Ryanair used to fly turboprops similar in size to the SAAB 340
i realize it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?
0:54 watching from St Kitts
I’m from St. Thomas glad to see some high quality Seaborne content. Silver does actually have some of their Saab’s on the Caribbean routes along with Seaborne.
It's very cool to see someone visiting my home airport and flying an airline from PR😁
Not sure if you were able to see any Short360s, but I use to fly them down in the islands with a company called AirCargo Carriers (ACC)
Such a cool and unique aircraft.
I’m going to Vieques in March of this year! I’ll tell you what it’s like! Great video again, Jeb! 👍
Nice! Never heard of this airline. I've come to enjoy seeing and experiencing smaller local airlines!
Nice to see you in Puerto Rico! Im from here! Come here again anytime 🙌🏼🥳😀
Great video Jeb! Great series glad to see you on another turboprop! Love turboprops especially Saab 340’s and Dash 8’s
Nice Jeb! Such a neat inside look of Caribbean inter island planes. Have an amazing time!
I just flew on a Saab 340 from Coffs Harbour to Sydney in Australia. Good little plane that.
That Saab reminds me of the old ATA connection flights i had a million times. IND-EVV 39$ round trip.
01:51 took me a few rewinds to check whether that was a bird or if my eyes were playing tricks on me (thanks for the caption, Jeb, which I missed the first few times!)
I saw it too. I thought it was his hair at first, but BIRD!!!!
Boy do I have some stories about that airport. From the dragging benches of seats across the floor at 3am, to closing Seaborne’s old terminal because it was full of mold, I’ve seen just about all of that airport.
100% agree with you Jeb about the closed toe shoes. Still my favourite travel TH-camr🤗
Great tour....great fun!!!
Island hopping is nice down there in the Caribbean. Having those great beaches there are so nice. Also, yes, I have always had my gym shoes on when I have flown down there. Also, doing the island hopping in Hawaii as well.
But please enjoy flying down in the Caribbean.
Wow Thank you mister Jeb !!! I have learned from your video that there are still commercial Sea Plane Flights. I am inspired to find out where they can be taken. It might not be as Glamorous as the 1st Pan American Clipper back in the 30s but I am inspired now
From one North Carolina Native to Another
I flew the Beech 1900, Saab 340 and got typed on the new ATR for Silver. I hope you get an opportunity to fly on the ATR. It’s a really nice plane. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Love your videos!
Your comment on the mixed TSA Pre is my struggle everytime I fly back 😂😂 The chairs too.... Also, your spanish was understandsble 😉
God I miss the Saab. Flew on them all the time when they were still operated by the major US carriers as feeder/commuter planes on routes flown these days by CRJs. For example this very plane started its life with American Eagle. I've been considering going to the Caribbean just to fly one before they're all replaced by ATRs or god forbid some flavor of regional jet.
Loved this video!! First one I have watched with Seaborn and traveling to st criox. Hope you enjoyed your stay! I hope to visit this island someday.
I've been intrigued by Silver for a while since they fly out of Huntsville.
how does this guy have only 202k subscribers? this is the best aviation channel on the platform!!!
Great review. Thanks.
Great vlog Jeb
Just booked a flight on American from RDU-DFW-LAS! Gonna spend some time in Vegas. Then the return flight from LAS-CLT-RDU. It’s gonna be great! (All airbus aircraft)
These videos are great! Enjoying the trip so far.
Liat island hopper from sju to sxm was a very interesting and fun experience
nice video, im from the caribbean and i enjoying flying on seaborne/silver airways
You went close to where I lived!
Did anyone else see that bird in the terminal that flys over Jeb’s head at the 1:50 mark
If you haven’t flown Cape Air, you should try it. If you ask, they can seat you on the first officer’s seat as long as it’s empty since most times they do one pilot.
Hey Jeb! Been watching ur videos for over 2 years now!
Thanks for your support!!!
My beautiful island St Thomas 😊
"No cops, no hospitals." Vacation Travel 101! 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
You videos are excellent. So proud to me for your visit to Puerto Rico. I hope you found so beautiful. Your Spanish is very good. More practice a you do it very well. Exito y muchos saludos. Greetings from Bayamon PR.
Super cool
Love the smalliner plans
I think you need to do a video on your watch collection. 😁
That's my home country s its pretty cool for me seeing you there
Never thought I’d see the day you flew seaborne
Next time. Suzanne should put a blindfold and noise canceling headphones on you and only once you land you figure out where you are lol.
I know they’ve been around a long time, but I never felt Seaborne was a great name for an airline!
There used to be a railway along the US East Coast named "Seaboard Air Line Railroad" - talk about confusing! It is now part of CSX. Seaborne always sounded like it should be something with ships, while Seaboard says it was an airline but really was a railroad.
Thought* not "felt"
@@LincolnLagger Either way works, actually. You can 'feel' something isn't right just like you can 'feel' happy or scared.
Have you thought about doing a second channel where you film your time at your different destinations? Love the videos Jeb keep them up.
i was just there leaving my vacation from culebra, we were taking a united 737 from san juan all the way up to newark, then from newark we took a united embraer 170 back to my home airport dtw
Isn't that a shrimp? haha. Nice video.
I'm pretty sure you are right.
Thanks for the PSA!
Sju is a fun airport
Lol, those cop sirens were PERFECT timing. Edit: anyone else notice that bird at 1:49?
I’ll be flying with them to Puerto Rico tomorrow 🇵🇷👍🏼
I hope you are safe flying in there.
Also you should fly on silver because they are having an inaugural from Jacksonville to New Orleans
I flew on a Seaborne Sea Plane from San Juan to St Croix and on to St Thomas and back to San Juan.
ha ha ha Jeb that’s a good one returning to you to your normal programming and going straight to advert...
Very informative report Jeb. i would like to visit a few of the islands and cruise ships don't move fast enough!
My beautiful island Vieques 🏝☀️
good video!
1:50 It's a Bird!!!
Great video jeb!
60 minutos de san juan puerto Rico a santiago RD❤
Awesome video Jeb and your Spanish is pretty good!😸
Cool video Jeb!
Danke!
Check out their ATR flights they have some new domestic routes
This is a great video series
Worked for them at the Tortola Base.
Very good Spanish Jeb !!!!!!!!.
Vieques is very nice. It has great beaches.
Oh nice!
Finally a Caribbean video! Have you flown Caribbean airlines?
You should hop on Seabornes seaplane service from Christianstead and downtown St. Thomas
I had already traveled to the US Virgin Islands and it was Saint-Thomas.
For a flight I booked a while ago, we were about to fly on seaborne, but now we are flying through puerto rico, like in the last one, very weird
Yo this is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plane looked a bit worn out but great video!!
You are a legend buddy
Nice 👍
Kind of like Hawaii... inter-island planes make short trips daily in a humid, salty environment. Lots of ocean.
You should try flying Cape Air!!
I have flew seaborne air and it is great
In Spain we say "Es hora de ir al avion"
Nice viseo! I think the saabs will be replaced with silver ones or atrs! Im from PR and for a time u were able to fly on ATR but sadly Atr is a no go for the pancemic but hey you got to fly on a soon to probably retired airplane!
Jeb if you get a chance - do I review of Westjet. They are flying internationally now with 787-9s I believe.
Hayyyyy guapo, me encantó tu Español!!!😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😻😻😻🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞
It’s interesting to see the safety instruction card was even translated into Japanese.
Team ramp didn’t even have belt loaders. Poor man’s back!
Last time I flew in the Caribbean, it was on a DC3 BVI into San Juan. Maybe 1974?
Any landscaping tips? I want have a green yard in the summertime.
My home airport is San Juan and I actually HATE those chairs too🙄🙄
You should fly on EVA Air sometime!
