What the day feels like

How the flight feels

Short, intense and cinematic: the 40‑minute private airplane tour compresses the city’s coastal highlights into a single circuit. From taxiing to takeoff you’re oriented toward the water, then the plane banks to trace the shoreline, passes the city’s skyline and threads the bay past islands and piers before returning to base.
