The Mermaid Amphibian
The all-new Mermaid is the first amphibian to be designed especially to comply with the FAA’s new Light Sport Aircraft rules. It is also the first new certified single-engine amphibian to reach production in decades.
Of conventional all-metal design, the Mermaid is built by European craftsmen, with US-sourced materials. Versatility is the hallmark of true amphibians: even the energy-absorbing seats are quick-removable, so the Mermaid can double as a dockside bed, making those remote camping trips all the more enjoyable.
The hydraulic-damped tricycle gear retracts, and the pilot has visual confirmation of gear position, as well as the usual indicator lights; and the stable, quick-planing hull allows water takeoffs, at gross, in just 750 feet.
At roughly the price of a luxury sedan, the Mermaid offers what that car simply cannot: point-to-point navigation, no-speeding-ticket cruising, with an incomparable view… and of course, the ability to float.

CZAW designed the Mermaid after its experience in building over 600 all-metal aircraft and hundreds of aluminum floats. In fact, the company’s airplanes and floats have taken home the Schneider Cup three times: CZAW is recognized throughout Europe as a premier design, engineering, and manufacturing center for seaplane technology.
Everything about the Mermaid indicates long and reliable service: full zinc chromate coating, AN and MS-series fasteners, US-sourced aircraft aluminum and tubing; and its solid, conventional design promises not only outstanding longevity – it is repairable anywhere, without relying on “special” production and inspection techniques.
