Did Ponta dos Ganchos change its name?

How long is the helicopter flight from Florianópolis to Awasi Santa Catarina?
About 15 to 20 minutes from Florianópolis airport, and 10 to 12 minutes from Beira Mar Norte, in front of the Majestic. These are estimates that vary with wind, air traffic and aircraft.
What is the nearest airport to Awasi Santa Catarina?
The main airport in the region is Florianópolis (FLN). For executive aircraft, the Costa Esmeralda airfield, in Porto Belo, is even closer to the resort. We choose the departure point based on your aircraft and origin.
Which aircraft does Embarque Oficial use in this region?
The Bell 505 and Robinson R66 helicopters, the King Air C90 turboprop and the Citation V Ultra jet. Helicopters are best for reaching the resort. Airplanes cover longer legs, such as São Paulo or Porto Alegre.
Can I depart from Balneário Camboriú or Navegantes?
Yes. We depart from helipads in Balneário Camboriú and from Navegantes Airport (NVT). From Balneário Camboriú the flight to the resort takes about 12 to 15 minutes. From Navegantes, around 15 to 20 minutes.
Do you offer boarding and landing in other cities?
Yes. Besides the points listed, we operate from helipads in other cities. Share your origin in the quote request and we confirm landing authorization, flight time and price for your route.
How many passengers and how much luggage fit in the helicopter?
The Bell 505 and Robinson R66 carry up to 4 passengers plus the pilot. Luggage is limited by weight and space, so tell us how many bags you have. For larger groups, we suggest more than one aircraft.
Is there a helipad at the resort?
The resort receives helicopters at its own helipad, according to the information we had at our last update. Since the property changed names, we confirm landing authorization and the boarding point for every booking.
How does booking work?
Share your departure point, date, approximate time, number of passengers and whether it is one-way or round trip. We then send aircraft options with the best balance of cost and benefit.
Is helicopter travel safe?
Flights are operated by ANAC-approved operators (RBAC 135), with experienced pilots and well-maintained aircraft. The final decision to fly always depends on weather conditions, and safety comes before the schedule.
Can I book a one-way flight only?
Yes. You can book one way, return only or a round trip. On one-way flights the aircraft must return to base, and that repositioning is part of the calculation. Ask for a quote to compare the options.
Do you serve travelers coming from São Paulo, Curitiba or Porto Alegre?
Yes. You fly a King Air C90 or Citation V Ultra to Porto Belo or Navegantes and continue by helicopter to the resort. From São Paulo, the airplane leg takes about 55 minutes by jet or 1h20 by turboprop.
What if the weather is bad on the day of the flight?
If weather conditions do not allow a safe flight, the pilot may postpone or reschedule the departure. We check the forecast before boarding and notify you as early as possible.
