Forte dei Marmi by Helicopter: Introduction

Reach the Tuscan Riviera in minutes with AEROAFFAIRES

Forte dei Marmi, a confidential seaside resort nestled on the northern coast of Tuscany, has been a destination for the Italian and European elite for over a century. Period villas, luxury hotels, discreet restaurants, refined boutiques: everything is designed for an art of living without ostentation, but without concessions. AEROAFFAIRES flies you there by helicopter from the main airports and resorts in Tuscany, Lombardy, Sardinia and even the Côte d’ Azur.

Other itineraries are available upon request, including from private estates, hotels, or yachts. Our team will find the most suitable landing point.

Since Forte dei Marmi is accessible only by helicopter or vehicle, AEROAFFAIRES routinely organizes combined itineraries: your long-haul private jet lands in Pisa (LIRP), Florence (LIRQ), or Milan Malpensa (LIMC), and then the helicopter takes over for the final leg. This “double-leg” approach is particularly suitable for clients arriving from Paris Le Bourget, London Farnborough, Geneva, or Moscow in a large-capacity jet, as the final leg by helicopter avoids a 2- to 3-hour road transfer from Pisa or Florence. Your air concierges coordinate the entire process, from the private jet to the final vehicle, including customs, valet parking, and helicopter landing arrangements.

Helicopters available for your transfers

For your trips to Forte dei Marmi, AEROAFFAIRES selects helicopters suited to the distances and passengers’ comfort requirements. Among the most frequently used models, the Airbus H125 (5 passenger seats) offers great reliability on steep or remote terrain. The quiet and spacious Airbus H130 T2 is perfectly suited for tourist transfers in Tuscany, particularly from Florence or Siena. The twin-engine Airbus AS355, meanwhile, provides greater stability and safety on long flights, particularly when flying over water. For requests with higher demands in terms of comfort or distance, we deploy the Bell 429, appreciated for its spacious cabin, or the Bell 407.

Every flight is operated by a professional crew, in compliance with current European standards.

Hourly rate to or from Forte dei Marmi

The charter rate for a helicopter to Forte dei Marmi starts at around €2,800 per flight hour (excluding tax) for a single-engine Airbus H125, and can reach €18,000 per hour (excluding tax) for a Dauphin H155 VIP. As a rough guide, the cost of chartering a helicopter for a Cannes–Forte dei Marmi transfer starts at €5,800 (excl. tax) for an Airbus H125, based on a flight time of approximately 70 minutes. The final quote depends on the aircraft selected, the distance, positioning fees, Italian taxes, and seasonal factors, which are particularly pronounced between June and September in the Versilia region.

Seasonality and advance booking

Forte dei Marmi experiences a classic Italian seasonal pattern, though particularly intense, with a summer peak concentrated between late June and late August. During these periods, the helipads in Versilia (Forte dei Marmi, Lido di Camaiore, Viareggio) are at capacity, and landing slots become difficult to secure without advance planning. The Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago in July and August, as well as the major holiday periods around August 15 (Ferragosto), create significant additional demand. AEROAFFAIRES recommends booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance during these periods to secure the helicopter, landing authorization, and the ground handler of your choice. Outside the summer season, a flight can be arranged within 24 to 48 hours.
