Sling & Mr selfish,

Both very valid points, of which i had thought about to some degree, in my opinion i felt that if there wasn't room for the pax. baggage then i would be ferried over by the boats that service the various locations.. it's anywhere from a 1-2 hours ferry ride. I thought they wouldn't mind waiting that extra bit if they got a 10-30min helicopter ride as part of there holiday deal. I have some basic knowledge of the EC120 and it is in the running for this position. . very true about the nose abatment. . something i hadn't figured. it seems were making ground and all of your opinions are greatly appreciated. . looks like the helicopters arising the most are :
B206
B206L
EC120
AS350
Now i'll start breaking these down individually with Hourly rates, fixed, insurance etc. any help with some of these figures would be great. .

Cheers,
JF
