Why Fly

Three reasons your summer just got longer.

01

Skip the drive

Route 24, the Braga and Sakonnet bridges, and summer gridlock on Aquidneck Island. Fly over all of it and land a few minutes from downtown Newport.

02

The view itself

The South Shore, Narragansett Bay, the Newport Bridge, and the Cliff Walk mansions, all from a private cabin window.

03

Charter the whole aircraft

Pricing is by the aircraft, not the seat. Choose the R44 for up to 3 guests, or the Bell 206 for up to 4.

Luxury helicopter cabin interior
The Experience

Quietly extraordinary, from curb to coast.

A concierge confirms your itinerary within the hour. Your pilot, a commercial-rated FAA instructor, greets you by name, and you're airborne in minutes.

Why Helicopter

The way travel should be.

The drive from Boston to Newport can stretch past two hours when summer traffic and bridge backups are factored in. A private helicopter charter turns that grind into a 30-minute flight, giving you more time on the water.

Door-to-destination service

For clients with the space at home or at their venue, we can land at an approved private site. No airport, no transfer, no traffic.

Exceptionally safe

Modern turbine helicopters are among the safest aircraft ever built, flown by FAA Part 135 commercial pilots.

Time you can't buy back

What's a Friday afternoon worth? Trade hours of Route 24 traffic for a thirty-minute flight.

Bring your luggage. Yes — all of it.

Luggage transport is available on our Bell 206: golf bags, beach gear, weekenders, and a full set of suitcases for your party. Request it when you book; no separate baggage flight needed.

Why fly by helicopter?+
