Charter Referral Service
Caribbean Midsize & Heavy Jet Charter Referrals
Nonstop 90-to-165-minute private jet flights from South Florida to Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Sint Maarten / St. Barts.
For destinations further south along the 18th parallel North—spanning Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Barts, Anguilla, and the Cayman Islands—nonstop overwater distances from South Florida range from 400 to 1,100 nautical miles. These routes call for the speed, high-altitude weather capability, range, and cabin comfort of light, midsize, super-midsize, and heavy business jets. Latitude 18 North Charter connects discerning travelers with the ideal long-range Caribbean jets through our vetted charter partner network.
Nonstop Reach Across the 18th Parallel
Flying privately from Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF), Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE), or Palm Beach International (PBI) cuts total door-to-door travel time to the Caribbean in half compared to commercial airlines:
- Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (PLS / MBPV): A 505-nautical-mile, 95-minute flight into dedicated private FBOs (Provo Air Center and Blue Heron Aviation), allowing you to bypass peak weekend terminal congestion and reach Grace Bay, Amanyara, or Parrot Cay boats in minutes.
- Punta Cana (PUJ) and Casa de Campo / La Romana (LRM), Dominican Republic: A 790-nautical-mile, two-hour-and-ten-minute flight right to the 18th parallel, with private VIP terminal customs clearance steps from Teeth of the Dog, Casa de Campo Marina, Puntacana Resort, and Cap Cana.
- San Juan Isla Grande (SIG) and Luis Munoz Marin (SJU), Puerto Rico: A 900-nautical-mile, two-hour-and-fifteen-minute domestic U.S. flight with zero international customs delays, placing you five minutes from Condado and Old San Juan or thirty minutes from Dorado Beach.
- St. Thomas (STT), U.S. Virgin Islands: A 960-nautical-mile, two-hour-and-thirty-minute nonstop flight to Standard Aviation's luxury FBO at Cyril E. King Airport—the premier staging point for St. John resorts and U.S. or British Virgin Islands superyacht charters.
- St. Maarten (SXM) and St. Barts (SBH): A 1,060-nautical-mile, two-hour-and-forty-five-minute flight into Princess Juliana International (SXM), where VIP handlers coordinate twelve-minute wing-to-wing Pilatus PC-12 transfers directly onto St. Barts' short runway.
Selecting the Right Jet Class for Caribbean Missions
- Long-Range Light Jets (Embraer Phenom 300E, Cessna Citation CJ4, Learjet 75): Ideal for couples and small families of four to seven passengers flying nonstop to Turks and Caicos (PLS), Grand Cayman (GCM), or Punta Cana (PUJ).
- Midsize Jets (Cessna Citation Latitude, Citation XLS+, Citation Sovereign+, Hawker 900XP): Offering generous external baggage compartments for golf bags and resort luggage plus comfortable club seating for seven to nine passengers on two-to-three-hour Caribbean legs.
- Super-Midsize and Heavy Jets (Bombardier Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280, Embraer Praetor 600, Falcon 2000LXS, Gulfstream G450/G550): Featuring six-foot stand-up cabins, flat floors, high-speed satellite Wi-Fi, full galleys, and optional cabin attendant service for groups of eight to fourteen passengers flying nonstop to San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and the Southern Caribbean.
VIP FBO Ground Handling Across Every Caribbean Port of Entry
One of the biggest advantages of chartering a midsize or heavy jet to the Caribbean is the ground experience upon arrival. Rather than standing in crowded immigration halls after a commercial flight, private charter guests are met plane-side at dedicated executive terminals where FBO concierges handle passport formalities, luggage transfer, and ramp-side escort to your waiting chauffeur, helicopter, or yacht tender. Furthermore, when commercial travellers connect from Europe or the U.S. Northeast into Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), or Palm Beach International (PBI), a private FBO transfer allows your group to board an onward Caribbean jet within thirty minutes of landing.
Tailored Cabin Comfort for Overwater Island Flights
Every overwater Caribbean flight arranged through our referral network is equipped with extended overwater safety gear, life rafts, satellite communications, and two type-rated pilots, while giving your party complete cabin privacy, custom catering, and generous heated baggage capacity for golf bags, dive gear, and resort wardrobes. Whether you are planning a winter holiday in Turks and Caicos, a golf trip to Casa de Campo, or a nonstop flight from Miami-Opa Locka to St. Thomas or St. Maarten, we help you compare the ideal midsize, super-midsize, or heavy jet for your route.
