Charter Referral Service
Yacht Rendezvous, Island Hopping & Villa Transfers
Coordinate wing-to-wing STOL turboprop transfers into St. Barts (SBH) and Staniel Cay (TYM), superyacht guest rotations in St. Thomas and Nassau, and multi-island hops.
Many of the most extraordinary destinations in The Bahamas and the Caribbean—from the yacht anchorages of the Exuma Cays and the Virgin Islands to the hillside villas of St. Barthelemy and the pink sand beaches of Harbour Island—sit beyond the reach of large commercial airliners and long-range heavy jets. Reaching them smoothly requires coordinating primary jet flights out of Florida with short-field turboprops, inter-island hops, or private marine tenders. Latitude 18 North Charter specializes in matching multi-leg and yacht-rendezvous itineraries with the right aircraft through our vetted charter partner network.
Superyacht Guest Arrivals & Mid-Charter Crew or Guest Rotations
South Florida, Nassau, St. Thomas, and Sint Maarten form the four corners of the Atlantic and Caribbean yachting calendar. Whether you are boarding a 180-foot motor yacht at Albany Marina or Hurricane Hole on Paradise Island, meeting a crewed catamaran at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas (STT) for a week in the British Virgin Islands, or joining a superyacht in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten (SXM), timing and baggage capacity are critical.
Through our referral network, we help yacht owners, charter brokers, and estate managers match their guests with aircraft that offer:
- Uncompromising Baggage Capacity: Unlike commercial regional flights that frequently leave hard-sided suitcases or dive bags behind due to summer weight restrictions, private turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 NGX and Beechcraft King Air 350i, or super-midsize jets like the Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude, ensure all guest luggage, water toys, Seabobs, and provisions arrive on the same aircraft as the passengers.
- Direct-to-Anchorage Airstrip Access: In the Exumas, rather than landing exclusively at George Town (GGT) and enduring a three-hour open-ocean boat ride north, guests can charter a Pilatus PC-12 or Cessna Grand Caravan directly into Staniel Cay (TYM) or Norman's Cay (NMC), stepping off the plane minutes from their yacht's tender.
Wing-to-Wing Transfers for St. Barts (SBH), Anguilla (AXA), and the Grenadines
When your final destination features a specialized short runway—most famously Gustaf III Airport on St. Barts (SBH / TFFJ), whose 2,119-foot strip requires special crew certification and STOL turboprop performance—timing the connection between your mainland jet and your island-hopper is essential.
- St. Maarten (SXM) or San Juan (SJU) to St. Barts (SBH): You fly nonstop from Miami-Opa Locka (OPF), Fort Lauderdale (FXE), or Palm Beach (PBI) aboard a midsize or super-midsize jet into SXM or SJU, where VIP FBO handlers escort you wing-to-wing to a waiting Pilatus PC-12 or Grand Caravan for the scenic flight onto St. Barts.
- St. Thomas (STT) or San Juan (SJU) to Virgin Gorda (VIJ), Tortola Beef Island (EIS), and Anegada (NGD): Connect effortlessly from your mainland jet to short-field turboprops or private water taxis serving Oil Nut Bay, Rosewood Little Dix Bay, Necker Island, and Scrub Island.
- Urgent Yacht Spare Parts & Provisioning Charters: When a vessel in Marsh Harbour (MHH), Staniel Cay (TYM), or St. Maarten (SXM) needs critical marine engineering parts, specialized provisions, or crew rotations from Fort Lauderdale, cargo-capable turboprops can be dispatched on short notice.
Flexible Scheduling When Island Weather or Itineraries Shift
One of the primary benefits of private charter aviation in the islands is schedule flexibility. If your yacht captain recommends spending an extra afternoon anchored off Warderick Wells in the Exumas or Francis Bay off St. John, or if an afternoon tropical shower passes through an island strip, your charter schedule adapts around your itinerary rather than rigid airline departure gates.
Plan Your Multi-Island or Superyacht Rendezvous Flight
Whether you are transferring eight guests from a Challenger 350 in St. Maarten onto a Pilatus PC-12 for St. Barts, coordinating a private water taxi from North Eleuthera to Harbour Island, or flying directly from Fort Lauderdale Executive to Staniel Cay to meet your yacht tender at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, our concierge team helps coordinate every leg of the trip so your arrival is completely seamless.
