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 26m – 1h 40m
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.
1h 06m – 1h 18m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing Savannah
Savannah serves the city, Hilton Head and the Lowcountry, and it is also where Gulfstream builds aircraft — which means the field has service infrastructure well beyond what a city this size would otherwise carry.
Hilton Head Airport has a 5,000 ft runway and suits light and mid-size aircraft. Larger metal uses Savannah and a 45-minute drive — a trade worth making deliberately rather than discovering.
Arriving Stuart
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.
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.
Flying Savannah to Stuart 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 26m – 1h 40m in a turboprop jet, over about 301 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 1h 06m – 1h 18m.
We typically use Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) for Savannah 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.
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.
