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

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 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.

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 Nantucket to Nassau by private jet?
Approximately 2h 55m – 3h 21m in a light jet, over about 1,041 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 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 Nantucket and Nassau?
We typically use Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) for Nantucket 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 Nantucket 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.
