Charter · Amenity · Helipad
Charter yachts with verified helicopter capability — from touch-and-go decks to certified helidecks — confirmed in the Lund Group fleet record, never assumed from marketing or length.
A helipad does not mean any helicopter can land. Every flight depends on the aircraft, the pilot, the weather and local permissions, and is confirmed in writing. Dates, rates and availability are confirmed in writing.

| What it is | A deck area verified for helicopter landing, sometimes certified to a recognised standard. | A deck that looks suitable or is described as a 'helipad' in marketing. |
| Who can land | Limited by the deck's weight and size rating, the helicopter type and the pilot's approval. | Unknown until verified; never assumed. |
| Commercial transfers | Usually need a certified helideck and suitable permissions. | Not possible on an unverified deck. |
| On this page | Qualifies when verified in the fleet record. | Does not qualify. |
A helipad does not mean every helicopter, every landing or every passenger transfer is possible. Each flight is confirmed with the captain, operator and authorities.
Meets a recognised standard for weight, size, markings, lighting and fire-fighting. Needed for most commercial flights.
The helicopter can land briefly to drop off or pick up guests, but cannot stay on deck.
A helicopter can land and remain on deck, subject to its size and weight.
A covered space to carry a helicopter aboard, usually only on the largest yachts.
Fly from an airport or heliport straight to the yacht where the deck, pilot and permissions allow.
Helicopter access can save hours of tender or road travel.
Transfers avoid busy marinas and public quays.
Scenic flights from the yacht, subject to local airspace rules.
Each deck has a maximum weight and size. The helicopter must fit both, with fuel and passengers.
Flights need approval from the captain, the operator, the yacht's flag and local aviation authorities.
Many decks are cleared for daylight only. Night flying needs extra lighting and approval.
Trained crew, fire-fighting equipment and clear procedures are required for every landing.

The weekly rate for the yacht and crew, quoted in writing for your dates and season.

Landing fees, aviation fuel and positioning are charged separately where they apply.
Charged when the yacht must reposition to start or end where you want.
The Advance Provisioning Allowance is paid with the charter fee, commonly around 30–40% of the base rate. The captain spends it on running costs and gives you a full account; helicopter flights are usually contracted and paid separately.

A licensed operator flies you onward, where the yacht's deck and permissions allow it.
If weather or rules prevent a landing, a tender or car transfer is arranged instead.
