Much as the Grumman seaplanes used similar features, Warrior is developing a portfolio of seaplanes based on a common advantageous configuration, hull form and generic design.
The specifications for Ocean 2, Ocean 6, Ocean 12 and Ocean 18, assume;
- Retracting undercarriage for amphibious operations
- On-water wing-fold for taxiing and berthing
- Rudder with water-thruster for manoeuvring in confined spaces
All Oceans can be operated as ‘straight’ seaplanes, ie without undercarriage, when they will benefit from typically 15% greater useful load than the following amphibious specifications.
Ocean 2

The Ocean 2 is a tandem, dual-control two-seater for personal transport, utility, observation, recreation and pilot training.
Specifications for the standard amphibious Ocean 2 are:
Power |
100 hp Rotax 912 / (Electric) |
Seats |
2 |
Max cruise speed |
116 kt |
Stall speed |
39 kt |
Max gross weight |
750 Kg |
Useful load |
305 Kg |
Ferry range |
540 Nm |
Wingspan |
9.6 m |
Beam for berthing |
2.9 m |
Max short steep wave height |
0.75 m |
The Ocean 2 will accommodate up to 155 hp in a high-powered version and also serve as a Light Sport Aircraft at the lower max gross weight of 650 Kg.
The Ocean 2 will be an advantageous candidate for replacements among high-utility Cub-type floatplanes including Citabrias and Huskies, also as an upgrade among flying boats such as SeaReys, Seamaxs and Icon A5s.
The Ocean 2 will uniquely complement and facilitate water-related interests and pursuits, which dominate summer recreation, pastimes and the most desirable destinations. In doing so, they will far better deliver the ‘dream’ needed to attract new pilots and new purchases in expanding the market.
Ocean 6

The Ocean 6 is a six-to-seven seat amphibian for private and business travel, family vacation, down-town-to-airport taxi, bush utility and coastal, island and lakeland resort transport.
Specifications for the amphibious Ocean 6 are:
Power |
310 hp |
550 hp PT-6 / (Electric) |
Seats |

The Ocean 6 is a candidate for replacing Cessna 180, Cessna 185, Cessna 206, De Havilland Beaver and equivalent floatplanes, also for upgrading from Lake and equivalent flying boats. As an airfield-capable amphibian, the Ocean 6 is also expected to be an attractive candidate for upgrading from equivalent high-utility landplanes.
New markets are expected in accessing destinations not served by airfields and in facilitating a much wider range of business and family interests, where waterside is the dominant common ‘pull’. The Ocean 6 will also complement personal business jet ownership, in providing the quickest and most convenient connections between aviation hubs and diverse urban and remote destinations.
Ocean 12

The Ocean 12 has capacity for 10 to 17 passenger seats with one or two crew. This is an exceptionally cost-effective aircraft for business, charter and scheduled commuter services.
It will excel in providing coastal and island services as ‘straight’ seaplanes. Amphibians will also provide diverse services in linking these to inland airfields.
Specifications for the standard amphibious Ocean 12 are:
Power |
850 hp PT-6 / GE H85 / (Electric) |
Seats |
1 or 2 crew plus 10 to 17 pax |
Max cruise speed |
180 kt |
Stall speed |
53.9 kt |
Max gross weight |
4,800 Kg |
Useful load |
1,840 Kg |
Ferry range |
1,520 Nm |
Wingspan |
18.3 m |
Beam for berthing |
5.9 m |
Max short steep wave height |
1.6 m |
The Ocean 12 has a compelling case for replacing fleets of De Havilland Otter and Cessna Caravan floatplanes. It is also expected to be an attractive option for replacing some equivalent landplanes and helicopters operating adjacent to water.
It is expected to generate new sales in providing services to urban destinations and remote communities not served by airfields.
The Ocean 12 also has MEDIVAC, emergency relief and Search & Rescue applications.
Ocean 18

The Ocean 18 has capacity for 10 to 19 passenger seats with two crew. It suits business, charter and scheduled commuter services. Amphibians will excel in providing connections to/from business jets and feeder services to airlines.
Specifications for the standard amphibious Ocean 18 are:
Power |
2 x 750 hp |
Seats |
2 crew plus 10 to 19 pax |
Max cruise speed |
210 kt |
Stall speed |
57.8 kt |
Max gross weight |
6,200 Kg |
Useful load |
2,225 Kg |
Ferry range |
1,760 Nm |
Wingspan |
20.3 m |
Beam for berthing |
6.6 m |
Max short steep wave height |
1.5 m |
The Ocean 18 is an advantageous candidate for replacing twin-engined floatplanes such as De Havilland Series 300 and Viking Series 400 Twin Otters. It also offers a compelling case for replacement of conventionally configured flying-boat types.
In addition to all applications also suiting the Ocean 12, the Ocean 18 will be exceptional in providing new feeder services in connecting airlines at major hubs with the most popular types of final destination. For example, amongst many, this would include Miami onward throughout the Bahamas and Athens onward throughout the Greek islands.
A conversion for water-bombing will serve fire-fighting roles. This will typically be 70% of the water-drop capacity of a Canadair CL-415. The greater operating range and endurance will suit important seasonal relocation.
