Bespoke Private Aviation Private Jet Charter to & from Fort Lauderdale
South Florida's yachting capital meets private aviation. Executive terminals, island access, seamless departures.
Private Aviation Built Around the Water
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport ranks among the top 20 busiest GA airports in the United States — over 100,000 operations per year on its 6,002-foot runway. FBOs like Banyan Air Service (the largest single-site FBO in the country) and Sheltair offer hangar space, crew lounges, full maintenance, and direct ramp access. U.S. Customs is on the field for Bahamas and Caribbean returns.
This is where yacht owners, seasonal residents, and business travelers converge. We position aircraft at FXE daily for Bahamas day-trips, Northeast commutes, and island-hopping charters. No jet cards, no membership fees — just transparent quotes on Part 135 aircraft sourced from our vetted operator network. From the Intracoastal to the islands, every flight is coordinated door-to-door.
