Fourteen charter yachts carry both a helipad and dedicated diving equipment, and the two sit at opposite ends of the access question. The helipad places guests on board directly from a transfer flight. The diving equipment takes them below the surface to explore whatever reef, wall or wreck sits beneath the anchorage. Together, they compress the distance between arrival and first dive to the time it takes to change and brief.
The fleet starts with the fifty five metre Geco at three hundred and thirty five thousand euros a week and runs to the one hundred and twenty six metre Octopus at two million two hundred thousand. Bleu de Nimes, Okto, Naia, Arbema and Stella Maris cluster between four hundred and ninety thousand and six hundred and ninety five thousand, all carrying certified helipads and full dive stores. Above eighty metres, Bold, O’Ptasia, Sunrays and O’Pari operate both at commercial specification.
Weekly rates span three hundred and thirty five thousand to three million euros, with the median around eight hundred and seventy five thousand. Add roughly thirty percent for the advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, berthing, helicopter landing fees, tank fills and compressor operation.
Summer runs through the Mediterranean, where Greece, southern Turkey, Montenegro and Sardinia deliver strong diving from anchorages reachable by helicopter from major airports. In winter, the Caribbean and the Bahamas take over, with wall dives, reef systems and warm water from November through April.
