Yachts with Helicopter Landing Capability

Yachts with helicopter landing capabilities are one of the most exclusive categories within the superyacht charter market. Combining air and water travel, these charter yachts offer guests exceptional convenience, privacy, and flexibility. Usually available on superyachts measuring 45 metres and over, certified helipads give guests the freedom to transfer directly between land and sea without relying on tenders. While many superyachts feature helipads, only a limited number are commercially certified to accept helicopter landings during charter operations. For commercial charters, helicopters may only land on certified helidecks, except in medical emergencies, making these yachts both rare and highly sought after. Offering accessibility and adventure in one helipad The main advantage of chartering a yacht with helicopter landing capabilities is fast, private access to and from the yacht. Helicopter transfers allow guests to avoid lengthy tender journeys, reach yachts anchored offshore with ease, and travel quickly between destinations. Particularly valued by time-sensitive charterers, adventure-focused guests, and those prioritising discretion, the use of a helicopter during a charter also allows for easy day trips to nearby cities, as well as access to remote regions beyond the reach of tenders. At the same time, yachts with helicopter landing capabilities provide experiences unavailable on traditional charter yachts. Guests can enjoy scenic aerial tours over dramatic coastlines, islands, and fjords, as well as specialist activities such as heli-skiing or helicopter water sports. Certified helidecks also provide enhanced safety, allowing rapid medical evacuation to shore-based facilities if required. Most superyachts with helicopter capabilities tend to fall within the explorer and expedition category, designed for long-range cruising and remote exploration. Alongside certified helidecks, these superyachts offer spacious living areas, advanced navigation systems, wellness facilities, and extensive toy collections. Helipads are often dual-purpose spaces, converting into dining areas or entertainment decks when not in use.
