A helipad on an eighty metre yacht is more than a status marker. It lets guests skip harbour transfers, reach remote anchorages directly and shorten the journey between airport and sundeck to minutes. At this length, the helipad is purpose built into the superstructure rather than doubling as a tender platform, so the helicopter sits clear of the living spaces.
Ten yachts above eighty metres charter with a helipad. Sophia and Lady S lead the fleet, both over ninety metres and among the largest charter yachts in operation. O’Pari, Sunrays and O’Ptasia sit between eighty five and ninety five metres, each carrying twelve guests across suites designed for extended voyages. Alfa Nero, Stella Maris, Silver Fox, Arbema and Naia range from seventy two to eighty two metres.
Weekly rates start at five hundred and ninety five thousand euros for Naia and six hundred thousand for Arbema. The mid range runs from six hundred and ninety five thousand for Stella Maris to nine hundred and fifty thousand for O’Ptasia. Sunrays and O’Pari both charter at one million one hundred and fifty thousand, Lady S at one million seven hundred and fifty thousand, and Sophia at one million eight hundred thousand.
The Mediterranean dominates the summer season, with these yachts cruising the Riviera, Sardinia, the Adriatic and the Aegean. Winter opens the Caribbean circuit, and several of the larger vessels take on Indian Ocean voyages to the Maldives or Southeast Asia.
