Not legally. You would need a Single engine Sea rating.


This is not correct.

Per FAR 61.31 (k) (2) (iii) (B), the restrictions for Category, Class, and
Type ratings do NOT apply to experimental aircraft, as long as no
passengers are being carried. To carry passengers, you'd need the rating.

It might be stupid, but it's legal (when solo).
