It’s time to plan your travel for the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) taking place from 28 September to 1 October 2024. As summer draws to an end, those who value a premium lifestyle head off to Monaco to explore a dazzling array of floating residences that spark their imagination. Naturally, they charter a jet to get there. What’s the common ground between private jets and superyachts? Both are more than just forms of transportation; they make a statement about one’s lifestyle and aspirations. Equipped to navigate unique environments, both the sky and the sea, private jets and superyachts allow their privileged travelers to explore the world while enjoying the comforts of land.
Combining private jet travel with yachting offers an unrivaled opportunity to see more of the world while maintaining the demands of life on land. Whoever said that mixing business with pleasure wasn’t possible clearly didn’t have the jet power to make their meetings on time. Regardless of where your yacht is anchored, a private jet flight (perhaps even a helicopter transfer) can whisk you from the boardroom to your stateroom—or vice versa—so you spend more time soaking in the sea views and less time staring at the tarmac.
By pairing a private jet charter from Holyhead with your sailing adventure, you can fly directly from the nearest airport to the marina where your yacht awaits, bypassing the usual airport delays and hassles. Your Unique Jets advisor will even arrange helicopter transfers to bring you right to the yacht deck. We frequently fly clients to yachting events, sailing regattas, and boat shows all over the globe, ensuring a seamless journey every step of the way.
Here are five compelling reasons to reach your yacht by private jet:
1. **Time Optimization**
Access to remote destinations via commercial flights can be restrictive. Places like islands in the Cyclades, the Caribbean, or the Pacific are often hard to reach or have infrequent connecting flights. The private jet option offers complete freedom to plan, allowing for optimal coordination between your jet and yacht. This means total aircraft availability, 24/7, all year long. You can enjoy your yacht in no time, avoiding unnecessary stopovers, delays, and disruptions.
2. **Travel Closer to Your Destination**
Private jets can access airports and runways that are off-limits to commercial flights. You can fly into smaller, more exclusive airports that are less crowded, chaotic, and congested, and much closer to the marina where your yacht is docked. Your Unique Jets advisor will organize all transfers from the airport to the nearest point to your final destination.
3. **Avoid Stress and Crowds**
The flexibility of private jets is unmatched: no lines, no crowds, fast and efficient security checks, and simplified customs and immigration procedures.
4. **Simplify Your Trip**
A private flight simplifies your travel arrangements immensely. Make just one reservation that covers your entire journey to your yacht. All transfers are included in your private jet flight. Once your plane lands at a small airport, a vehicle—whether a limousine, cab, or helicopter—will whisk you to your destination. No need for check-ins, luggage worries, or boarding pass hassles. This is especially time-saving if you are traveling in a group.
5. **Luggage and Pet Flexibility**
With both a private jet and a yacht, you’ll avoid many of the usual hassles related to luggage and pets. Just inform your Unique Jets advisor, and all procedures will be handled for you.
But how do yachts and jets compare?
**Speed:** Private jets cruise at around 950 km/h (512 knots), getting you to Monaco Yacht Show in no time. In comparison, the luxurious Lady Jorgia superyacht, a highlight of this year’s MYS, cruises at a leisurely 18 knots (61 km/h). With a helipad on AHPO, you can quickly hop to land for shopping or meetings if required. Contact your Unique Jets advisor for helicopter support.
**Distance:** The Global Series G440 by Moravia Yachting has a range of 5,000 nm at a cruising speed of 10 knots. Its jet equivalent, the Bombardier Global 5000, boasts a range of 7,000 nm at 512 knots. Together, they make an unbeatable travel duo.
**Space for Friends and Family:** The elegantly redesigned 85.65m B2 superyacht by Abeking and Rasmussen can accommodate 22 guests, offering all amenities for a home-like experience. A private ACJ320 jet can transport those 22 guests to the yacht with matching luxury standards.
**The Right Crew:** Whether owned or chartered, every private jet and superyacht demands knowledgeable management and a skilled crew. Unique Aviation Group offers specialized private jet services, charters, logistics, emergency services, and private jet acquisition consultancy, ensuring an unmatched travel experience.
