HeliFlite announces new access to Watson Island Seaplane Base in Miami

HeliFlite, the premier private helicopter operator on the US east coast headquartered in Kearny, New Jersey, has announced a new luxury charter service to and from Miami's Watson Island Seaplane Base, allowing guests direct access to the heart of Miami in only minutes.

HeliFlite's executive cabin-class Sikorsky S-76 helicopter accommodates private parties of up to six passengers originating anywhere within a 250-mile radius of Miami. From Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Orlando, the Keys or Palm Beach, HeliFlite delivers guests directly to Watson Island Seaplane Base, situated just two miles from downtown Miami and four miles from South Beach, and a short boat ride to Fishers Island and to any of the local marinas.

“We are thrilled to provide convenient access to Miami destinations for our south Florida clientele. The addition of Watson Island Seaplane Base allows our customers to spend less time navigating the increased traffic congestion and more time enjoying their activities,” said Kurt Carlson, CEO, HeliFlite.

This new access to seaplane base's helipad allows HeliFlite to expand its service into the Miami and south Florida markets, bringing Floridians the same unparalleled customer experience it has provided its northeast clientele for the last 10 years. HeliFlite's has the largest fleet on the east coast with 13 private twin-engine, dual-pilot helicopters with an impeccable safety record.

HeliFlite specialises in saving precious time for busy executives, celebrities and athletes, who book on-demand charters so they have more time to focus on their engagements. HeliFlite provides VIP transportation to exciting events such as the Miami F1, Art Basel, the Miami Boat Show or any number of professional sporting events.
