Please note all helicopters have a weight restriction protocol – read carefully:

Weight protocol has two components:

a) 10% weight variance from advised; and

b) Exceeding a certain weight limit

 Weight Variance:

• Passengers are allowed a weight variance of up to 10% over original recorded weight. Should this variance be found to be more than 10%, the company reserves the right to charge an additional fee. No refund will apply. 
• This fee comes into effect when a guest weighs in 10% heavier than advised and results in us having to use a bigger helicopter or put up additional flights. 
• The dollar amount of this fee is not specified, as it will be circumstantial to covering our additional incurred costs.

 Weight limit:

• Any passenger who weighs over 110kg will need to purchase an additional seat, which will be charged at 50% of the fare rate and payable directly to Nautilus Aviation on the day of travel.
• This is to ensure we don’t exceed individual helicopter seat limits and that we do task the appropriate helicopter for the job; and for the comfort of all guests travelling. 
• Please ensure Nautilus is aware of any booking over 110kg, as we will need to close a seat on the appropriate flight template. 
• The fee may be waived on the day should we happen have a vacant seat on the helicopter anyway.
