Arrive In Style: Luxury Transport Options For Your Yacht Charter
The yacht charter experience is about more than just the time onboard; it is about the whole journey, which begins before you step on the passerelle. Getting to and from your yacht charter can be as seamless, luxurious, and memorable as the charter itself.
Well-planned transfers to the yacht, as well as trips while onboard, ensure all aspects of your luxury travel experience are perfect. We work with world-class transportation partners, from luxury vehicles and helicopters to private jets and seaplanes, ensuring your journey is meticulously coordinated, giving you the ultimate freedom to concentrate on enjoying the experience. Here is our guide to arriving in style for your next yacht charter:
Freedom & Flexibility
Taking a private jet is the gold standard for luxury travel, offering unmatched convenience, comfort, and all-important flexibility. Unlike commercial flights, private aviation gives you access to smaller airports and a range of Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) close to the yacht's location, saving you valuable time and eliminating multiple stopovers.
Whether you are crossing the Atlantic from the US to begin a Mediterranean charter or island-hopping in the Caribbean, private jets offer endless possibilities for travel. Free from rigid timetables and crowded terminals, with room for changes, private aviation puts you in complete control of your schedule. We work with the operators to ensure the journey from the FBO to the yacht is as efficient as possible, maximizing your vacation time.
And, timing is everything, so we ensure that both parties are informed and coordinated with your arrival. Getting to a superyacht after a luxuriously restful journey means you can be ready to enjoy your charter from the moment you step aboard, no matter where in the world you started.
Birds-Eye Views
If you are closer to your destination, helicopters are the perfect option to arrive at your yacht. Many yachts have touch-and-go helipads, getting you directly onboard. Helicopters can also be utilized for short-distance transfer options from an FBO or commercial terminal, resulting in the most efficient arrival.
A popular example in the Mediterranean is bypassing on-the-ground traffic from Nice Airport, taking a helicopter from there directly to many French Riviera destinations. Aside from practicality, helicopters also offer the perfect way to sightsee in your yacht charter location, providing a birds-eye views of the land and sea from above, from looking down onto the stunning Amalfi Coast, the atolls of the Seychelles, or the dramatic landscape of Norway, various worldwide yachting destinations offer spectacular views from the sky.
While on a charter, if you want to explore a location inaccessible by other means of transport, then a helicopter is your ticket to unique experiences, from landing on remote islands to private helipads in the mountains. Not only is it quicker to access by helicopter, but it also adds an extra special element to your trips ashore while exploring during the charter.
Unique Landings
To arrive in style in more remote locations and to yachts on anchor, a seaplane is a fun and luxurious transportation option, combining the ocean and aviation. Popular in yachting hotspots such as the Bahamas and the Maldives, seaplanes are a versatile mode of transport that can easily connect you with a superyacht on anchor in a destination.
This smooth mode of transport is not just for transfers but also for short trips connecting you swiftly to different islands and locations surrounding the yacht. While seaplanes drum up images of tropical locations, they are also used for off-the-beaten-path adventures across many yachting hotspots, such as Alaska and Canada. A private seaplane journey is both comfortable and efficient, with the bonus of a bird's eye view of the islands you will be cruising on your yacht charter.
On The Ground
Transportation to a superyacht isn't just for the air. On the ground; luxury vehicles also play an important role in a stylish journey. From chauffeured transfers in premium luxury vehicles to scenic journeys ashore, there are plenty of options to get to where you need to be effortlessly.
