With a full cabin
Estimates are computed from great-circle distance, published cruise speeds, and modeled allowances for routing, climb, descent and prevailing winds — the same engine the configurator uses. They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.
Aircraft
Each of these covers the routing nonstop with the cabin filled — checked against realistic full-cabin range, not a manufacturer headline.

Covers the trip nonstop and is properly sized for it — the right-fit answer for 6 passengers.
3h 57m – 4h 33m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing Boca Raton
Boca Raton is where Velocity Jets is based, and BCT is the field we know better than any other. It sits within twenty minutes of most of east Boca and Delray, which is the entire argument for using it rather than driving to Fort Lauderdale.
BCT has a single 6,276 ft runway, which comfortably handles light and mid-size jets. Heavy jets and some super-mids operate from PBI or FXE instead — we will tell you which field your aircraft needs rather than letting you find out on the day.
Arriving Los Cabos
Los Cabos is the West Coast’s most-flown international private destination — a comfortable light-jet leg from Los Angeles and a mid-size leg from Texas, with peaks around every major American holiday.
Flights into Mexico require an APIS filing, a Mexican overflight or landing permit and customs processing on arrival. All routine, all needing lead time, and all handled before you leave rather than discovered at the ramp.
Flying Boca Raton to Los Cabos more than a few times a year? The Velocity Jet Card fixes the terms in advance — or see how a card compares with charter, fractional and ownership, including where a card is the wrong answer.
The Jet Configurator
The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.

Questions
Approximately 4h 12m – 4h 50m in a mid jet, over about 1,623 nautical miles direct. That is an estimated range including taxi time — winds and routing move it either way, and westbound legs typically run longer than eastbound.
For six passengers, a mid jet — Cessna Citation Excel or a Cessna Citation Latitude — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A super-mid gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 3h 57m – 4h 33m.
We typically use Boca Raton Airport (BCT) for Boca Raton and Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) for Los Cabos. Alternatives are available at both ends and are sometimes the better answer depending on where you are actually going.
We do not publish charter prices, because a price without live operator availability behind it is a guess rather than a quote. Tell us the date and party size and you will have a real number, usually the same day.
