Why Fly

Three reasons your day just got longer.

01

Skip the drive

I-95, the city approaches, and Manhattan gridlock. Fly over all of it and arrive directly at a Manhattan heliport.

02

The view itself

The New England coastline, Long Island Sound, and the Manhattan skyline, 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 city.

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 New York 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 I-95 traffic for a ninety-minute flight to Manhattan.

New for 2026

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?+
