How much does it cost to charter a private jet to St. Barth?

Private jet charters to St. Barth start from approximately €12,000 on selected routes, depending on your departure point, aircraft category, travel dates and availability. The lowest figures are short regional sectors flown by an executive turboprop; a charter from Miami to St. Barth can start from around €20,000 on a light jet, while flights from New York can start from approximately €25,000. Longer European routes, such as London, Paris, Geneva or Milan, typically start from approximately €90,000, with ultra-long-range aircraft available for higher-end itineraries. The prices above are indicative starting figures based on recent charter market rates and are not guaranteed quotes. Final pricing may vary according to travel dates, aircraft positioning and availability, airport fees, applicable taxes, passenger requirements, routing and seasonal demand.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to St. Barth?

For travel to St. Barth, it is advisable to book your private jet and onward island connection well in advance, particularly during the winter high season, Christmas and New Year. Availability can be limited because St. Barth's airport can only accommodate smaller aircraft, making the connection from a larger private jet an important part of the itinerary.

Which airport is best for private jets to St. Barth?

St. Barthélemy's Rémy-de-Haenen Airport (SBH/TFFJ) is the island's only airport, but its 650-metre runway is reserved for small aircraft and requires specially qualified pilots. There are no direct long-haul flights to St. Barth. For passengers arriving on a long-range private jet, Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in St. Maarten is generally the most practical gateway, followed by a short private aircraft or helicopter connection to SBH.

How do I get from St. Barth Airport to my hotel or villa?

Rémy-de-Haenen Airport is close to the main areas of St. Barth, including Gustavia, St. Jean and the island's luxury hotels and villas. A private vehicle can be arranged to meet you at the airport and take you directly to your accommodation. If you arrive via SXM, a private aircraft or helicopter transfer can be arranged for the final leg to St. Barth.

Can I fly to St. Barth by private jet with pets?

Yes, pets can travel to St. Barth subject to the applicable veterinary and entry requirements. Dogs and cats must meet requirements including rabies vaccination, identification by microchip, parasite treatments and an appropriate health certificate. The airline or private operator may also have its own conditions for carrying animals, so pet travel should be arranged in advance.

Do private jet flights to St. Barth have operating-hour restrictions?

Yes. St. Barth's airport has particularly important operating limitations because of its short runway and challenging approach. The airport is open from 07:00 daily, except with special authorisation, and closes 15 minutes after sunset, generally between 18:00 and 19:00 depending on the season. These restrictions make the timing of the final flight into SBH particularly important.

What is the customs and immigration process when arriving in St. Barth by private jet?

St. Barth is a French overseas collectivity with its own entry formalities. Travellers must carry a valid passport, and visa requirements depend on nationality and the purpose and duration of the visit. Passengers arriving through another Caribbean island should also account for the immigration and customs requirements associated with the transit airport.

Why do private jets use St. Maarten when travelling to St. Barth?

St. Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) is the principal long-haul gateway for travellers continuing to St. Barth because SBH cannot accommodate conventional long-range business jets. From SXM, travellers can continue by a smaller private aircraft, regional flight or helicopter. This two-stage itinerary allows passengers to combine long-range private aviation with direct access to St. Barth.

Can I combine a private jet to St. Barth with travel to St. Maarten, Anguilla or other Caribbean islands?

Yes. St. Barth works particularly well as part of a multi-island private travel itinerary. Connections are available to and from St. Maarten, Anguilla, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and other Caribbean destinations by private aircraft, scheduled regional aircraft or helicopter. Private boat transfers can also be arranged for selected island itineraries.
