Tropic Air Rescue Introduces Private Helicopter Air Ambulance Service in the Bahamas

Tropic Air Rescue, founded by aviation expert Anthony Marinello, has introduced the first private helicopter air ambulance service in the Bahamas and Florida, utilizing a subscription membership model for rapid emergency medical transport. This service significantly reduces response times compared to traditional fixed-wing air ambulances, with immediate deployment via twin-engine Sikorsky S-76B helicopters staffed by certified medical professionals. The service is particularly beneficial for tourists, boaters, and residents in remote locations, offering around-the-clock emergency coverage without out-of-pocket costs at the time of rescue.

The company has already completed over 35 successful rescues in its first year, including operations from private islands and yachts, marking a significant advancement in emergency medical services for the region. Tropic Air Rescue is the first FAA-certified helicopter air ambulance dedicated to the Bahamas, with cabotage clearance enabling legal transport of Bahamian citizens between islands for emergency care. Membership plans are designed to cater to individuals, families, and marine vessels, with coverage activating within 48 hours of enrollment.
