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.
1h 01m – 1h 13m
The better-suited option on a leg this short. It is built for the profile, and it gets into shorter fields than a jet will take.
48m – 1h 00m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing 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.
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 Teterboro
Teterboro is the default private aviation field for Manhattan — twelve miles from midtown and, traffic permitting, the fastest way in and out of the city by a wide margin.
Teterboro operates under a 100,000 lb maximum takeoff weight restriction and a voluntary night curfew. Neither affects the aircraft most clients fly, but both are real constraints we check against your trip rather than discover at the gate.
Flying Nantucket to Teterboro 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 1h 01m – 1h 13m in a turboprop jet, over about 183 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 turboprop jet — Beechcraft King Air 350i or a Cessna Grand Caravan EX — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A light gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 48m – 1h 00m.
We typically use Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) for Nantucket and Teterboro Airport (TEB) for Teterboro. 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.
