Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a private charter?

Click Request A Quote or call us at (772) 284-7453 and tell us where you'd like to go and when. One of our charter specialists will respond promptly with a full itinerary.

Where do you fly?

We are based at Witham Field in Stuart, Florida, and fly throughout the Lower 48 United States, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Mexico.

What aircraft do you operate?

We fly the Cessna Citation V Ultra, seating up to eight passengers, and a Citation CJ2+ for longer trips across the United States. For Florida, the Southeast, Key West and the Bahamas we fly Piper Navajo Chieftains, seating up to six — the right aircraft for shorter hops and smaller island airfields. See our Aircraft Fleet page for full specifications.

What are empty leg flights?

An empty leg is a one-way repositioning flight that would otherwise fly without passengers, offered at a reduced rate. Available empty legs are listed on our Empty Legs page and change frequently.

Are you available 24 hours?

Yes — we offer 24-hour on-demand charter service. Call (772) 284-7453 any time.

Do you offer aircraft management?

Yes. We provide aircraft management services at Witham Field — see our Aircraft Management page or contact us to discuss your aircraft.

Why fly private instead of commercial?

No crowded terminals, no long lines — you fly on your schedule from a private terminal, with red-carpet service and complete privacy from wheels up to touchdown.

How quickly can I get a quote?

Send a Request A Quote and a charter specialist will respond promptly with a complete itinerary — the fastest answer is always a phone call to (772) 284-7453.

Do you sell individual seats?

No. You charter the whole aircraft, not a seat. Whether there is one of you on board or six, the aircraft is yours for the trip.

Which islands do you fly to in the Bahamas?

Marsh Harbour, Nassau, North Eleuthera and Bimini are our main destinations, and we fly to the rest of the islands as well. These flights leave from Stuart, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Miami.

How much does a private charter cost?

There is no single hourly number that is honest for every trip, so we quote each one. What moves the price: which aircraft the trip calls for, distance and flight time, positioning, overnights and wait time, the dates, and how many passengers and bags. Trips that begin at Witham Field often avoid positioning costs. Tell us where and when, and we will come back with the aircraft and the number.

Do you fly to Key West?

Yes. Key West is one of the trips the Piper Navajo Chieftain is built for — a short hop from the Treasure Coast or South Florida with no connection and no terminal.

Which airports do your flights depart from?

Our home field is Witham Field (SUA) in Stuart. We also fly from Treasure Coast International (FPR) in Fort Pierce, North Palm Beach County (F45) near Jupiter, and Palm Beach International (PBI). For clients further south we use Opa-locka, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Boca Raton.
