Luxury yachts with helipads
A luxury yacht with a helipad offers complete flexibility. The convenience of owning a yacht with a fully certified helipad can not only increase your time on board but also provides a way to explore uncharted territory and enjoy a yachting experience at its finest.
When you own or charter a yacht with a helipad, you can fly to your boat, saving considerable time and the potential stress that comes with taking multiple forms of transport. It also makes it easy to reach on-land destinations, from remote terrain to the world’s most elegant cities.
Helipads are generally positioned on the bow of a luxury boat or the aft deck, with careful planning to ensure health and safety regulations are met and that they don’t take up valuable guest space.
From touch-and-go helipads to full-scale helicopter hangars and commercially compliant helipads, here’s what you need to know about buying or chartering a superyacht with a helipad.

Yacht Sales FAQ
What are the benefits of a superyacht with a helipad.
Having a helipad on board a superyacht is a highly desirable feature, especially with charter guests seeking an elevated experience at sea. There are several benefits, including convenience, easy access, privacy, and enhanced peace of mind in the event of an emergency.
Fast & private transportation
The primary benefit of a helipad on a yacht is that it allows for fast and private transportation of guests to and from the boat, avoiding lengthy tender rides and allowing guests to explore their surroundings further.
Ideal for extreme sports
A helipad can also be used for extreme sports, such as helicopter water skiing and heli-skiing, ensuring an incredible experience on the water.
Peace of mind
Having a fully certified helipad also provides enhanced peace of mind. Should there be, for example, a medical emergency, you have complete peace of mind that a swift transfer to a land-based medical centre can be quickly arranged.
Maximise a yacht's potential
A mega yacht with a fully certified helipad is highly desirable and will typically attract a higher resale value. Additionally, yachts with helipads are particularly sought-after charter yachts, enabling owners to maximise their boat’s income potential. Finally, a yacht's helipad can also be repurposed, and the large deck space cleared for a variety of activities, such as a dance floor at night and a recreational space during the day.
How big does a yacht have to be to have a helipad?
Generally speaking, a yacht must be at least 40-metres to accommodate a helipad on the bow. Boats under 40-metres generally do not have space to have a helipad on the bow, but clever design means that it may be possible to accommodate a touch-and-go helipad on the stern.
What is a touch-and-go helipad?
A touch-and-go helipad is a type of landing pad for helicopters that allows for quick take-offs and landings without stowing the aircraft on the yacht. It is becoming increasingly common on luxury superyachts and can be a significant bonus for yacht charterers, providing a quick and convenient way to access the vessel. Having a touch-and-go helipad on a yacht can also increase a boat's resale value and charter potential.
Can a yacht have more than one helipad?
Yes, it is possible to have more than one helipad on a yacht, depending on its size and layout. Multiple helicopter decks are often found on the world's largest mega yachts and expedition vessels, allowing for multiple helicopters to be stored at the same time. Having two helipads or more can be especially useful for vessels that accommodate a large number of guests or crew members who may need to travel to different locations at the same time.
What other amenities will a yacht with a helicopter deck have?
As helicopter decks are typically found on larger vessels, you'll also benefit from an enhanced selection of amenities. The world's finest superyachts typically boast voluminous beach clubs, swimming pools, spa facilities, cinema rooms, fully equipped gyms, VIP suites, and spacious salons and deck areas. They also typically boast a garage filled with tenders and a fantastic selection of water toys, including jet skis, water skis, inflatables, diving equipment, kayaks, submarines, and more.

Standout superyacht helicopter decks
Once the luxury of a select few, the not-so-humble helipad is having a bit of a moment. With the explosion of interest in the explorer yacht market, a touch-and-go landing pad is becoming more of a necessity than the extravagance it once was. Sure, a tender will get you from shore to superyacht in good time, but there's nothing that quite compares to touching down on the bow. We take a closer look at some of the best helidecks afloat...
Bold carries a certified helideck with a D value of 13 making it suitable for a craft such as the 3.2-tonne, twin-engine, eight-seat AgustaWestland AW109S Grand. Equipped with proper lighting and fire-safety gear, it is far from any structure that can create turbulence and features opening bulwarks to expand the deck width. While there is plenty of room to stow the craft on deck, the ocean environment is notoriously detrimental to delicate electronics, and big waves or wind can tip even a large heli over. So Bold transports its helicopter over long passages in a garage with a ceiling that adjusts in height to accommodate the craft with its rotors removed.
More about this yacht
Yachts for charter.
A defining feature of Geco's exterior design is the touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck. The minimalist platform complements the modern and slender profile of the 55 metre superyacht, and when not hosting a chopper, this round platform is instead transformed into a Moroccan-style cocktail area best enjoyed at sunset. After dark, the helipad also works as the perfect spot for stargazing.
Designed in a military-inspired style by Espen Øino , the helideck area on 71 metre Lürssen Skat was the first to be penned by the designer for a superyacht. Located on the aft deck, the helipad has a dual purpose as a landing site for choppers and also providing shade to the deck space below.
Lürssen superyacht Ace features a foredeck helipad marked that bucks tradition by replacing the usual "H" sign with a giant "A" to represent her name. But this distinctive helideck is not actually the main landing site for arrivals from the air. Instead, landings would usually take place on support vessel Garçon , leaving the forward end of Ace, which features a swimming pool and sunbeds free for fun.
OceanXplorer
Once an oil survey vessel, the 87 metre OceanXplorer completed a refit by Damen in 2020 that turned her into the ultimate expedition yacht complete with high-tech toys, scientific research labs and Hollywood-standard editing facilities. This includes the addition of new helipad at the bow, which has been shifted three frames (1.8 metres) further forward, in order to create enough room for a proper hangar behind it which has been finished with a futuristic top-hinged door.
Ragnar is one of the coolest conversion projects to splash in recent years. Having started life as an icebreaking tug, even the harshest environments are a walk in the park for this Viking-inspired explorer. Unsurprisingly, Ragnar is jam-packed with some serious tools for exploring ashore, including an Airbus EC145 which sits atop a certified helideck, perfect for whisking thrill-seeking guests off for an afternoon of heli-skiing.
Hodor's 220 square metre helideck is fully certified and a CAP 437-compliant helipad sits aft of the 66-metre catamaran's upper deck. The Incat Crowther shadow cat features an Airbus H145 helicopter in matching stealth-grey among its plethora of superyacht toys.
Octopus is perhaps one of the best known explorers on the water. The 126 metre Lürssen hit the water in 2003, commissioned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and was designed for far-flung global adventures. She has two helipads on board, one fore and one aft, with a hangar that can store two aircraft. Since her delivery, Octopus has explored the coast of Antarctica, traversed the Northwest Passage and discovered the wrecks of long-lost WW2 battleships off the Philippines.
The foredeck on the 95.2 metre Lürssen superyacht Kismet is marked for half-court basketball, but it can also double up as a touch-and-go helipad. Her sport-loving owner Shahid Khan has sports interests on both sides of the Atlantic, owning both the Jacksonville Jaguars basketball team and Fulham FC.
Planet Nine
To prepare her for adventures in the Antarctic, Planet Nine's helipad was designed with a lifting platform that allows the aircraft to be stowed in the hangar beneath when not in use. This also enables the 73 metre explorer yacht to carry two helicopters at once, allowing guests to arrive on board by chopper while the owner's own helicopter is stowed safely away.

![motor yacht with helicopter Superyacht LaDatcha](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-DSC_8200-1.jpg?w=1024)
The 253-foot bronzed La Datcha (meaning “summer house” in Russian) was commissioned by Russian billionaire Oleg Tinkov to be the ultimate adventure vessel. It’s an ambition the boat has more than lived up to, remaining one of the few yachts in the world to have braved the remote Russian peninsula of Kamchatka and even Antarctica.
La Datcha is one of Damen’s SeaXplorer series and was originally meant to be a 236-footer, before the design was extended by another 17 feet to cater for Tinkov’s extensive list of expedition toys, equipment, and operations. So much so, in fact, the entire layout of the main deck aft was reimagined into an enclosed, functional work area for storing toys and tenders. The space includes a dedicated garage for a 30-foot RIB that is launched through a shell door, and a second custom rescue limousine tender designed by Fassmer to be a mini-me of the mothership.
The sharp-edged exterior by Azure Yacht Design is inspired by the jagged edges of polar ice shelves—a theme that continues throughout the boat in both its decor and style, such as the glass-encased elevator that spans all six decks. Delivered in 2020, the expedition superyacht’s globetrotting is set to continue into 2024, with an adventurous year-long charter itinerary that will include Antarctica, the Sea of Cortez, French Polynesia, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. Micronesia and Southeast Asia are in its sights for 2025.
Here are nine cool facts you didn’t know about one of the world’s most serious explorer superyachts, now available to charter with TWW Yachts.
Icebreaker Hull
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-icebreakinghull.jpg?w=300)
La Datcha was the first purpose-built icebreaker yacht compliant with the International Maritime Organization’s Polar Code. Built to cruise from the Arctic to Antarctica and able to power through 16-inch-thick ice, it has retractable stabilizers and Damen’s signature Sea Axe hull to help with drifting ice floes and submerged logs. The enclosed bridge wings also give panoramic visibility and protection for watchkeepers in bad weather.
Two Helicopters
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-La-Datcha-Helicopter.jpg?w=300)
La Datcha is one of only a handful of yachts equipped with two Airbus H125 helicopters. There is a primary helideck on the upper deck aft, a second standby deck, and a shared below-deck hangars. Both helis are stored on the main deck aft. When it’s time to take flight, they’re raised by a lift to the fully certified open flight deck. Tinkov is a passionate heli skier—for which two helicopters is a prerequisite for yachts operating outside the range of rescue services and a regulatory requirement in Antarctica. His ski guides organize bespoke heli-skiing trips across uncharted terrain. It’s a natural extension for the billionaire whose portfolio of boutique hotels carry a sports theme, ranging from ski chalets in the French Alps to villas in Cabo San Lucas in Baja California. The yacht’s two snowmobiles are also on hand to collect weary guests after a testing ski run.
Triton Submersible
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-submarine.jpg?w=300)
When not flying in the sky, guests are exploring beneath the waves thanks to the certified dive center equipped with a decompression chamber and a three-person Triton submersible with a depth rating of 500 meters. A wood-paneled dedicated mudroom on the main deck aft is where guests return to after diving or skiing, and where expedition gear is cleaned, dried, and stored. It also doubles as storage for the heli-ski gear.
25 Specialized Crew
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-crew.jpg?w=300)
The 25-strong crew’s skillset is as varied as the yacht’s itinerary. That includes the captain, who holds an ice-pilot license and polar-code advanced qualifications. There are four commercial diving instructors with Nitrox certification, two submersible pilots, one submersible engineer, two helicopter pilots, and two helicopter technicians. And of course, a wealth of watersports, wellness and fitness instructors.
Elaborate Wellness Center
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-wellness-center.jpg?w=300)
There are wellness centers, and then there is La Datcha’s shrine to wellbeing. With direct access to the beach club and gym, it includes two Jacuzzis—one inside, one on deck—a Turkish Hamman, a sauna, and a dedicated massage area. It’s rounded off with a stalagmite ice fountain with LED lighting (the only one of its kind on a yacht) for a frosty shock of cold ice on exiting the hot sauna.
Private Hospital
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-LaDatchaHospital.jpg?w=300)
A dedicated medical room may be a luxury that few yachts have the space to afford. But La Datcha ’s onboard hospital is essential for when guests take part in higher-risk activities in remote regions. It has quarantine facilities, dedicated air-conditioning and sewage systems, and care from a trained ICU nurse. It also holds a full suite of Tempus equipment (used to monitor all vital signs of patient) and a mobile blood analysis machine that produces and prints results in nine minutes after a sample is taken.
The Interior is by a Residential Designer
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-2P7A2901_RT.jpg?w=300)
The yacht’s interior is penned by Russian designer Vasiliy Shprits, who had never designed a yacht. Tinkov’s brief to bring “wildlife” aboard is shown through features like the iceberg-shaped bar in the salon, alongside jellyfish-shaped lamps and fish-themed tables. Contrary to the flashy bronze exterior, the interior features natural oak, leather, marble, onyx, stone mosaics, and wool rugs. The main and lower deck is dedicated to water, while the upper deck is devoted to earth.
Elaborate Staterooms
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2.-guest-suite.jpg?w=300)
Six guest cabins—including two masters and two VIPs—sleep 12 guests, each with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. In addition to the crew’s quarters, there are two more twin-bunk cabins to accommodate up to eight expedition specialists who join private trips and charters to bring another layer of expertise. These include ski instructors, volcanologists, naturalists, professional fishing guides, photographers, and polar region experts.
Full Autonomy
![motor yacht with helicopter](https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-La-Datcha-cruising.jpg?w=300)
Fitted with enhanced fuel tanks, La Datcha can keep autonomy at sea for up to 35 days. Refueling is done via a tank carrying around 10,000 liters of aviation fuel (which is safer to store on board than gasoline), giving the yacht a 5,200-nautical-mile range when cruising at 12 knots.
