About 152 nautical miles, roughly 54m – 1h 06m in a turboprop jet. Here is the honest version of that trip.

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.
54m – 1h 06m
Under an hour in the air, this is the option we would steer you to. A jet spends a leg this short climbing and descending rather than cruising — the turboprop is built for the profile, and it will take you into fields a jet has to decline.
43m – 55m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing Long Island
Republic at Farmingdale is the main general aviation field for Nassau and western Suffolk. If your destination is Long Island, using Teterboro means adding a drive through the city, which is a poor trade at almost any hour of any day.
Arriving Cape Cod
Hyannis serves the whole Cape and is the mainland hub for both islands. Driving the Cape on a summer Friday is one of the more reliably miserable experiences in the Northeast, which is most of the argument for flying.
Flying Long Island to Cape Cod 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 54m – 1h 06m in a turboprop jet, over about 152 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 turboprop jet — Beechcraft King Air 350i or a Cessna Grand Caravan EX — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A light gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 43m – 55m.
We typically use Republic Airport (FRG) for Long Island and Barnstable Municipal Airport (HYA) for Cape Cod. 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.
