Yacht owners now regard helicopters as 'must have' on board accessories
October 10, 2007
European owners of big yachts have come to regard helicopter decks as standard "must have" feature rather than optional extras. "Nearly every 65 metre plus yacht is being built with a helicopter deck," according to Jamie Edmiston, a director of Edmiston & Company which works closely with Eurocopter.
Eurocopter is reporting increasing enquiries and orders from yacht owners who are buying helicopters to go with their yachts. The trend was highlighted by a Dublin-based businessman at the Monaco Yacht Show who ordered an EC130 B4.
