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 42m – 4h 16m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing 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.
Arriving Stuart
Witham Field serves Stuart, Jupiter Island and the Hobe Sound corridor — a quiet, concentrated stretch of the Treasure Coast where the drive from Palm Beach is exactly the forty minutes private aviation exists to remove.
Witham has noise-abatement procedures and a runway that suits light and mid-size aircraft. Heavy jets go to Palm Beach. We confirm the field against your aircraft before quoting, not after.
Flying Los Cabos to Stuart 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 3h 56m – 4h 32m in a mid jet, over about 1,617 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 42m – 4h 16m.
We typically use Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) for Los Cabos and Witham Field (SUA) for Stuart. 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.
