Wheels Up Experience has partnered with brokerage firm Fraser Yachts to offer private jet-to-yacht travel packages for their respective clients. The partnership underscores a growing demand for integrated travel experiences with personalized service and full global coordination, according to Wheels Up.
Travel will be designed as a cohesive package end-to-end, including possible pairing of commercial travel through Delta One with a private Wheels Up flight and helicopter transfers. Wheels Up is also bringing in seaplane options through Tropic Ocean Airways.
Under the partnership, Wheels Up members will receive preferred yacht charter rates with the support of Fraser’s global team and access to more than 2,300 vessels. In turn, Fraser clients will receive exclusive benefits across Wheels Up’s private aviation offerings.
“At Wheels Up, we believe premium travel should be defined by ease, flexibility, and personalization. As our members increasingly look for connected travel solutions that take them farther and unlock the world’s most exceptional experiences, our partnership with Fraser Yachts is a natural extension of that vision,” said Wheels Up CEO George Mattson.&nbsp;
Wheels Up added that the partnership also strengthens its focus on a higher-end lifestyle platform. The collective brands will provide experiences at events such as the Monaco Yacht Show, Palm Beach International Boat Show, and Wheels Down Clubhouse in Augusta, among others.
