They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Miami
Flying out of Miami
Opa-locka is Miami private aviation. It is the busiest general aviation field in the region and the natural gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean, with the customs and handling infrastructure that implies.
- The primary private gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America
- Customs and international handling on the field
- Avoids Miami International entirely, which is worth a great deal
Arriving Nantucket
Nantucket Memorial Airport
Nantucket is the clearest demonstration of what private aviation is actually for. The alternative is a connection and a ferry, and in summer the difference between the two is measured in half-days.
- Turns a half-day journey into an hour from the Northeast
- Extremely seasonal — July and August book out early
- Fog is a genuine operational factor, and we plan for it
Worth knowing before you plan
Nantucket fog is not a cliché — it closes the airport with real frequency in early summer. We plan alternates in advance rather than improvising, and we would rather tell you the risk beforehand than manage your disappointment afterwards.

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
Common questions
How long is the flight from Miami to Nantucket by private jet?
Approximately 2h 51m – 3h 17m in a light jet, over about 1,052 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 Miami to Nantucket?
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 44m – 3h 09m.

We typically use Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) for Miami and Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) for Nantucket. 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 Miami to Nantucket cost?
