# VIP Helicopter Captain - ACH135 | Yacht-Based | Mediterranean & Caribbean

> Elesta · Spain (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-09-30

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Technical Team

## Description

A private Family Office is seeking an experienced VIP Helicopter Captain for a yacht-based operation aboard a superyacht, operating on a dual-season basis between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. This is a newly established operation offering the opportunity to help shape it from the ground up.  
  
**The Role**

-   Single-pilot and multi-crew VIP/VVIP flying for the owner, family, and guests (Airbus H135)
-   Deck landings (day and night) on the yacht's helipad, plus operations at private and public locations across both cruising regions
-   Close coordination with the yacht's captain, crew and shore-side operations team
-   Full responsibility for flight safety, operational standards and passenger experience at the highest level of discretion

  
**Roster**  
3 weeks on / 3 weeks off, though in practice flexible around operational need — off time coordinated directly with the operating captain team rather than a rigid fixed pattern.  
  
**Requirements**  

-   ATPL(H), current type rating or ability to obtain one
-   Minimum 3,000+ total flight hours, meaningful twin-engine and deck-landing experience
-   Prior VIP, yacht-based, or comparable high-standards operational background strongly preferred
-   Class 1 medical, fluent English
-   Based in Europe; flexible to reposition between the Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons
