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.

Departing Martha’s Vineyard
Flying out of Martha’s Vineyard
The Vineyard is a ferry queue and a half-day for anyone driving, and about an hour in the air from the Northeast. Summer demand is extraordinary and the season is short, which makes notice worth more here than almost anywhere.
- Turns a half-day with a ferry booking into an hour
- July and August book out weeks ahead — this is not a market for short notice
- Fog is a real operational factor in early summer
Worth knowing before you plan
Like Nantucket, the Vineyard gets genuine fog, particularly in June. We plan alternates in advance rather than improvising on the day, and we would rather tell you the risk beforehand than manage disappointment afterwards.
Arriving Nassau
Lynden Pindling International Airport
Nassau is under an hour from South Florida and is the busiest private aviation gateway in the Bahamas. The flying is trivially short; the paperwork is the part that needs handling properly.
- Under an hour from South Florida — a light jet is more than enough
- The gateway to the Out Islands, most of which are short hops on
- Customs, immigration and inbound declarations need arranging in advance
Worth knowing before you plan
International arrival requires customs and immigration processing and, for Bahamas arrivals, an inbound declaration filed ahead of time. It is routine and it is not automatic — we handle it, and a broker who does not mention it is one to ask harder questions of.

Change the party size or the date
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.

Common questions
How long is the flight from Martha’s Vineyard to Nassau by private jet?
Approximately 2h 55m – 3h 21m in a light jet, over about 1,040 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.
Which aircraft is best for Martha’s Vineyard to Nassau?
For six passengers, a light jet — Cessna Citation CJ3+ or a Embraer Phenom 300E — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A mid gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 2h 48m – 3h 13m.
Which airports serve Martha’s Vineyard and Nassau?
We typically use Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) for Martha’s Vineyard and Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) for Nassau. Alternatives are available at both ends and are sometimes the better answer depending on where you are actually going.
How much does a private jet from Martha’s Vineyard to Nassau cost?
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.
