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.

2h 41m – 3h 05m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing 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.
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 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 Martha’s Vineyard 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 2h 47m – 3h 13m in a light jet, over about 976 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 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 41m – 3h 05m.
We typically use Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) for Martha’s Vineyard 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.
