Miami and St. Barts Private Jet Charter
Private Jet Charter between Miami and St. Barts
Fly from Miami to St. Barts with a fully coordinated private charter itinerary via St. Maarten, including your onward Twin Otter or private yacht transfer — all arranged by one team. Choose from a wide range of premium aircraft for the flight from South Florida to the Caribbean.
This is one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive destinations, connecting the luxury hub of South Florida with the French West Indies.
Because St. Barth’s Gustaf III Airport (SBH) has one of the shortest runways in the world — roughly 2,133 feet, with a famously steep approach — private jets cannot land on the island. On this route your jet flies nonstop to St. Maarten (Princess Juliana International Airport, SXM), and from there PrivateJet.com arranges the short onward hop to St. Barth on a Twin Otter, or a transfer by private yacht or ferry. We coordinate both legs as a single, door-to-door journey.
This route is extremely popular among high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and corporate executives heading to superyachts, exclusive cliffside villas, and world-renowned beach clubs. Your private journey begins the moment you arrive at the FBO in Miami, with every leg of your trip to St. Barts coordinated by one experienced charter team.

Private Jets for Charter Flights between Miami & St. Barts
The aircraft below fly the Miami-to-St. Maarten leg. From St. Maarten, we arrange your onward island transfer to St. Barth by regional aircraft or yacht.
Light Jets
Light jets are a great option for couples or small families heading to the Caribbean for a short getaway. These aircraft offer a comfortable and cost-effective way to reach St. Maarten from South Florida. They are equipped with private restrooms and comfortable club-style seats, getting you to St. Maarten quickly so we can connect you onward to your yacht or villa without the hassles of commercial airports.
Midsize Jets
Upgrading to a midsize jet provides a more spacious cabin and significantly more baggage space — ideal if you are traveling with golf clubs, multiple suitcases, or oversized baggage for an extended stay. Midsize jets feature nearly standing-height cabins, fully enclosed restrooms, and a smoother ride over the Atlantic and Caribbean. They easily cover the roughly 1,200-mile journey from Miami to St. Maarten with speed and refined comfort.
Super-Midsize Jets
Super-midsize jets are the “gold standard” for luxury travel to the Caribbean. When a group of friends, family, or corporate guests heads out together for a week-long getaway, these aircraft provide plenty of space to relax, with large galleys for personalized meals, Wi-Fi, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems.
Heavy Jets
For those who demand uncompromising luxury or are traveling with a large entourage, heavy jets offer the highest level of in-flight comfort — spacious stand-up cabins divided into separate lounge areas where you can dine, sleep, or relax in privacy. With fully equipped galleys, flight attendants, and generous baggage capacity, they are ideal for extended stays in the French West Indies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my private jet land directly at St. Barth's Gustaf III Airport (SBH)?
No. St. Barth’s runway is only about 2,133 feet long, with a steep approach through a gap in the hills, so jets and large aircraft cannot land there. Your private jet lands at St. Maarten (Princess Juliana International Airport, SXM), and from there we arrange the short onward hop to St. Barth on a Twin Otter, or a transfer by private yacht or ferry.
How long does the transfer from St. Maarten to St. Barts take?
The onward flight from St. Maarten (SXM) to St. Barth on a Twin Otter takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes, and we schedule it to connect smoothly with your jet’s arrival. A private yacht or ferry transfer takes longer but offers a scenic arrival by sea. Because St. Barth’s airport operates only in daylight hours, we plan your arrival into St. Maarten with time to spare for the final leg.
Are there any baggage restrictions when flying to St. Barts?
While your private jet from Miami can accommodate a large amount of baggage, the smaller Twin Otter that connects St. Maarten to St. Barth has strict weight and size restrictions. If you’re traveling with a lot of baggage, our flight logistics team will coordinate all the details in advance to ensure the safe transport of all your bags to your villa or yacht — sometimes using an additional transfer aircraft or a private boat.
