High monowing, strut-braced, Kevlar/foam construction. Full three-axis control system. Powered by a WAE two-cylinder horizontally opposed British microlight engine. The landing gear was Chrome-moly steel, trike type.
After spending something like $200k developing the aircraft and all the tooling, the original designers found they couldn’t obtain product liability insurance and they decided to sell the project to someone who was going to manufacture it in Mexico. That never came to.
Only 10 came out of the factory.

Receiving the “Best New Design” award at Oshkosh 1984 the Buccaneer was a conventional double-surface high-wing, three-axis control ultralight. Powered by a Rotax 277 single-cylinder, it came in three models — open framework, pod, and retractable amphibian. The landing gear was taildragger, or retractable/amphibian, using reinforced fiberglass hull & sponsons. Centre mounted joy stick, rudder pedals, tailwheel steerable through rudder pedals.
Later marketed by Keuthan Aviation as the Buccaneer SX and Buccaneer II, and by Arnet Pereyra Inc as the Aventura 1 HP/A and Aventura II A. A modified version, retrofitable to Buccaneers was marketed by Advanced Aeromarine as the Mallard. The Mallard was available as a conversion for existing Buccaneers or as a complete kit. First flown in 1993.
Although produced as an amphibious flying boat, the Buccaneer can be converted to a land plane by removing the boat hull and floats.
The Aero Adventure Aventura II Sport is a new model designed to minimize the expense and complexity of buying, building, and flying a two seat Aventura. With a strong 65 H.P. Rotax 582, the complete kit started at only $33,400. This is by far the most inexpensive two place amphibian on the market. Invest 250 hours of assembly time and this plane will be flying you and a friend anywhere.
The 100 H.P. 4-Stroke Rotax 912ULS with its 18 gallon fuel tank allows a solid 3 hours of flight with reserve. $44,900 for the complete kit.
The Aventura II XLR has a new engine cowling available, a new graphics package, an amazing new panel with AVMAP’s daylight readable GPS, a VSI, mode-C transponder, and more. Electric gear with indicator lights, differential hydraulic brakes, carpeting, headliner, 600-6 Soft Turf Tires, a 100 H.P. Rotax 912 ULS with an Air Box, a custom stainless steel exhaust, a warp drive 3-blade nickel edge prop and a spinner.
The Arnet Pereyra Buccaneer SX first flew in May 1986.
The Arnet Pereyra Buccaneer II first flew in March 1984.
The Arnet Pereyra Aventura UL and HP first flew in March 1995.
