Adventure · Experience 08
Lift off over the Golden Gate, follow the water to Alcatraz and the city, then come back down to a champagne toast on the waterfront.
The Experience
The Bay, from the air
A helicopter tour is the one hour guests still talk about a year later. We book the aircraft, handle the permits, and time the flight so the light is on the bridge — then we have the glasses waiting when you land.
The evening can stand alone or open a larger celebration at ERIA Sausalito or ERIA Marina. Either way, one team owns the logistics so the host is a guest.
The Flight
Golden Gate, the city, the water
The route is the classic Bay Area circuit: the Golden Gate, the Marin Headlands, Alcatraz, the downtown skyline, and back along the water. Private charter, not a public hop — the cabin is yours.
- Private helicopter, typically two to four guests plus the pilot
- Twenty to forty minutes in the air, timed for late-afternoon light
- Pickup arranged from Sausalito, the Marina, or a nearby airfield
The Toast
Champagne when you land
Wheels down, glasses up. We pour on a terrace overlooking the same water you just flew — at ERIA Sausalito or ERIA Marina — with a small plate from our kitchen if the evening continues.
The Evening
Or fold it into a larger night
The tour can open a proposal, a rehearsal dinner, a client evening, or a milestone birthday. We run the transfer, the flight, and the return so the rest of the night starts on time.
