Seychelles Yacht Helicopter Transfer

Charter weeks in the Seychelles start and end on tight windows, and the inner-island anchorages are far from the international terminal. We arrange the helicopter leg to Eden Island or Victoria — or to a certified deck when the vessel and operator both allow it — and coordinate the tender when they do not.

Figures are indicative broker ranges for planning only — not a quotation and not an availability guarantee. The operator's current quote depends on aircraft category, positioning, landing and handling fees, season and crew duty.

Why fly this leg

What a helicopter actually changes here

The vessel stays where it is

Flying guests to the anchorage saves repositioning the yacht — usually the largest hidden cost of a changeover.

Deck ratings checked both ways

The deck's rating and the operator's authorisation have to match before anyone promises a landing.

Tender plan as standard

Marina plus tender is the normal solution and is planned properly, not improvised.

Charter-week timing

The flight is planned around the vessel's changeover window, not the other way round.

FAQ

Seychelles yacht helicopter transferscommon questions

Yes. Where the vessel has a certified helideck rated for the aircraft and the operator is approved for deck operations, guests land aboard. Otherwise we fly to Eden Island or the nearest cleared site and coordinate the tender.

Deck dimensions and load rating, an obstruction diagram, whether the yacht will be at anchor or under way, and the captain's contact details. Winching is a separate approval again.

Frequently, yes — that is one of the strongest uses of rotary here, since it saves a whole day of repositioning the vessel to Mahé and back.

Yes, through our yacht brokers desk: recurring guest movements handled by one coordinator instead of being re-sourced every charter week.

SkyMatch is a helicopter charter broker and operator network. We source and coordinate your flight with suitably licensed operators; the aircraft, crew, approvals and operational responsibility remain with the operating carrier. That is also why we publish ranges rather than fixed fares: the price you accept is the operator's current quote for your specific dates.

Seven to fourteen days is comfortable in high season, and 24–72 hours is often workable outside peak dates. Short-notice requests are possible but depend entirely on aircraft, crew duty and slot availability on the day.
