Following recent news updates, the Spanish Government are shortly to re-open borders, meaning yacht owners from outside Spain will be able to return to their yachts.
Following feedback from our customers, concerned about the safety of flying scheduled flights, we have teamed up with private air charter company Heli Air to create a safe, cost-effective door to door service for yacht owners and their families, travelling to South West Spain and the Balearics.
Flying by private aircraft means that travellers can avoid the risk of spending time at busy airport terminals and on large passenger jets where maintaining social distance is difficult.
Instead, you have the option to be driven by private limousine to steps of your own private aircraft, where you will share the flight only with your own family and crew. Everything is carefully cleaned and sanitised, and PPE will be provided. On arrival you will travel in style by private limousine straight to your yacht. No queue for customs. No baggage reclaim. No crowds.
Step 1: Safe, Easy Travel to the Airport
Free parking for your own car
Advance airport security clearance and check-in
Step 2: Fly to Your Chosen Destination by Private Aircraft
Choice of craft
Just you and your family on-board
No recirculated air
Tested crew with hygiene measures in place
Step 3: Private Limousine Ready and Waiting
Travel straight from the aircraft to your yacht
No baggage claim. Fast tracked customs in the safety of your car
Hygiene and social distancing measures in place
Private air travel can be expensive, however the benefit of our arrangement with Heli Air is that if a number of owners participate and flights are planned together, the costs overall can be reduced. We can ensure both outward and return journeys are filled. Without this, the costs of a return to base have to be met.
