About the Robinson R66 Marine

The Robinson R66 Marine (Turbine Marine, FAA-certified 2014) is the float-equipped R66, fitted with pop-out emergency floats for over-water operation while retaining the Rolls-Royce RR300 turbine, five seats and cargo compartment of the standard R66.

It is favoured for island, offshore and waterfront turbine work. Used prices broadly track the standard R66 ($450,000–$950,000) with a premium for the float installation.

Buy it if you operate over water, offshore or in coastal conditions; choose a standard R66 if you fly over land.

Buying a Used Robinson R66 Marine

Buying a Robinson R66 Marine centres on its turbine engine(s) — time to overhaul, hot-section history and any engine maintenance program — alongside airframe hours and cycles.

What to check before buying

  • Turbine engine status — hot-section and overhaul time, trend monitoring and whether the engine is on a maintenance program.
  • Airframe hours & cycles — high-utilisation turboprops accumulate cycles quickly; cycles can matter more than hours.
  • Equipment — cargo pod, floats/amphibian gear, de-ice and avionics all affect value.
  • Corrosion & logbooks — continuous records and a corrosion inspection, especially on float or marine-operated aircraft.
  • Pre-buy inspection — commission an independent pre-buy by a type-experienced shop.
