West Palm Beach Private Jet Charter

That depends on the island. Measured in a straight line from downtown, the nearest are Bimini at about 72 nautical miles and Freeport at 74, then Treasure Cay at 143, Key West at 159, Marsh Harbour at 161 and Nassau at 177.

A distance is not a duration, so the time in the air is worked out for your cabin and the wind on the day and sent with the quote.

Yes for every Bahamas leg, and for every passenger, infants included. We need names and passport numbers when you book, because both border filings go in before the aircraft moves. A trip to Key West stays inside Florida and runs on photo identification.

Palm Beach International, inside the city, with 10,001 feet of asphalt and United States Customs on the field. You get the departure field and the boarding time in the quote.

Only on a hard, paved runway, and a light jet wants about 4,000 feet of it. Every field named on this page has more, the shortest being Key West at 5,076 feet and the longest Nassau at 11,107.

Cays with a short or unpaved strip are out, and for those the last leg goes by small plane, helicopter or seaplane, booked together with the jet.

The first Bahamian landing has to be at an airport of entry. Freeport, Bimini, Treasure Cay, Marsh Harbour, Nassau, North Eleuthera and Exuma all are, so the officer meets you where the jet parks, and the Bahamian desks work from 09:00 to 17:30. The way home is filed with United States Customs before you leave.

The two nearest islands make it realistic: Bimini is 72 nautical miles away and Freeport 74. Leave in the morning, spend the middle of the day on the ground and fly back with the desk hours in mind. Everything farther out suits a night or more.

Late enough to use the day, as long as the field at the far end is open and the Bahamian desk is still working, which it is until 17:30. We time the crossing against those hours and agree the return hour with the booking. If your party wants longer, the departure moves and the aircraft stays yours.

The cabin sets the number, which is why we ask for the party size first. The four classes are the light jet, the midsize, the super midsize and the heavy jet, in rising order of seats. A group that does not fit one cabin gets a second jet or a second leg, arranged before the date.

Mostly yes. The hold of a light jet is smaller than a heavy jet's, so list what is coming when you enquire and the quote names a cabin that carries it. The baggage guidance has the detail; more gear than the small cabin takes means a bigger cabin, never a pile left at the steps.

A jet climbs above most of what grounds smaller aircraft, so an afternoon of cloud along the Gulf Stream seldom decides the day. If weather does, you hear early enough to move the departure, as the weather and delays policy sets out.

A jet stops on a runway, so the last stretch is planned around it: a car waiting at the steps, a ferry across the harbour, or a yacht transfer to a boat at the marina. If the island has no runway, a helicopter or a seaplane flies the final leg under the same booking.

Yes. When the morning starts further south, the same routes leave from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, each with a page of its own. Tell us where you are staying and the quote comes back with the field already picked.

Pets fly in the cabin with you. Give us the animal and its weight with your enquiry, and the seating and load plan are right from the first draft.

A charter is priced per aircraft, never per seat. Three things move the figure: the cabin that flies your date, the number of people and bags aboard, and how long the aircraft waits for you. Distance matters too, so the destination is the first thing we ask. Send those and one all-in number comes back before anything is due.
