Departing Nantucket

Flying out of Nantucket

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.

Arriving Miami

Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport

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

Questions

Common questions

How long is the flight from Nantucket to Miami by private jet?

Approximately 2h 57m – 3h 23m 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 Nantucket to Miami?

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 50m – 3h 15m.

Which airports serve Nantucket and Miami?

We typically use Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) for Nantucket and Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) for Miami. 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 Nantucket to Miami 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We do not publish charter prices, because a price without live operator availability behind it is a guess rather than a quote.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.
