With a full cabin

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 Stuart
Witham Field
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.
- Puts you inside Stuart and Jupiter Island rather than forty minutes south
- Notably quiet field with short taxi times, even in season
- Light and mid-size jets are the natural fit here
Worth knowing before you plan
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.

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.

Questions
Common questions
How long is the flight from Nantucket to Stuart by private jet?
Approximately 2h 48m – 3h 14m in a light jet, over about 982 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 Stuart?
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 42m – 3h 06m.
Which airports serve Nantucket and Stuart?
We typically use Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) for Nantucket 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.
How much does a private jet from Nantucket to Stuart 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.
