Visitors attending the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be able to arrive by private helicopter or take a scenic flight over South Florida, with special event tours advertised at $600 per flight.<\/p>\n
Wave Helicopters has been named the helicopter partner for the event, which takes place from October 28 through November 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
The service will introduce helicopter access to an on-site landing zone, providing an alternative arrival option for visitors attending one of the world\u2019s major international yacht shows.<\/p>\n
Private Helicopter Transfers to Fort Lauderdale Boat Show<\/p>\n
Wave Helicopters, working with Wings Air Helicopters, will provide private helicopter charter services connecting the event with selected South Florida airports and departure locations.<\/p>\n
Potential departure points include Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport and Naples Airport.<\/p>\n
Private charters can also be arranged from other locations, subject to availability and operational requirements.<\/p>\n
Unlike conventional airport transfers, the helicopter service will bring passengers directly to the show\u2019s dedicated landing area.<\/p>\n
Charter transfer prices have not been published as fixed fares and must be requested individually.<\/p>\n
Scenic Helicopter Tours Cost $600 Per Flight<\/p>\n
Visitors looking for an aerial sightseeing experience can book a 10-minute private helicopter tour over Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n
The flights will operate aboard an Airbus AS350\/H125 helicopter carrying up to five passengers.<\/p>\n
Wave is advertising a special event rate of $600 per private flight, equivalent to $120 per person when five passengers share the cost.<\/p>\n
The price is per aircraft rather than per passenger, and the operator has not established that the event rate represents a discount against its ordinary selling prices.<\/p>\n
Passengers will be able to view Fort Lauderdale\u2019s beaches, waterways, marinas and yacht-filled waterfront from the air.<\/p>\n
