Private Jet Charter from New York to Martha's Vineyard
Edgartown by lunch. flyExclusive operates light, midsize, and super-midsize jets out of every major NYC metro field, with priority sequencing through MVY across the Memorial Day to Labor Day window. The 5,500-foot main runway accommodates the entire fleet comfortably.
Recommended Jets for New York to Martha's Vineyard
Because MVY's main runway is a forgiving 5,500 feet, every aircraft in our fleet performs comfortably here. The economic sweet spot is light-to-midsize for the 50-minute hop; larger jets only pay off if they fit a multi-leg trip.
Citation CJ3+
Light · Best ValueThe most economical option for the 50-minute hop. Up to six passengers, comfortable cabin, and full luggage capacity for a long Vineyard weekend with golf bags or beach gear. Lowest hourly rate in our fleet.
Citation Excel/XLS
Midsize · Most PopularStand-up cabin and a full eight-seat layout. The XLS is the default pick for Edgartown and Chilmark families with overnight bags, sand-chair haul, and full Vineyard weekend luggage.
Citation Sovereign
Super-Mid · ComfortWider cabin and more luggage volume than the XLS. Best fit when the Vineyard leg is paired with a longer trip — for example, a return leg to Florida or the Caribbean from MVY on Sunday evening.
What an NYC to Martha's Vineyard Charter Typically Costs
Pricing maps closely to Nantucket. Mid-week trips in May, June, and September are the cheapest; Friday afternoon and Sunday evening peak summer slots are the most expensive because broker demand spikes against constrained capacity.
Estimates only. July and August Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings carry the highest premiums. For category-by-category math, see our guide to private jet charter pricing.

Arriving on Martha's Vineyard

A 50-minute flight to Edgartown beats a half-day driving and ferrying.
Like Nantucket, the Vineyard is hard to reach by ground. From Manhattan, the typical drive-and-ferry trip is five to seven hours including holiday traffic and the ferry crossing — assuming you have a reservation. From Teterboro, the same trip is a 45-minute flight plus a short drive from MVY to Edgartown, Chilmark, or Vineyard Haven.
What sets MVY apart from ACK on the operational side is runway length. Nantucket's tighter performance profile pushes some larger aircraft toward the airport's edge on warm days; Martha's Vineyard's 5,500-foot runway accommodates virtually every charter aircraft with comfortable margin. That's why we frequently see members combine an outbound MVY leg with a longer Friday trip from a Florida or Caribbean home base.

NYC ↔ Martha's Vineyard Charter Questions
How long is a private jet flight from New York to Martha's Vineyard?
Block time from the New York metro to MVY is roughly 50 to 60 minutes, depending on departure airport and ATC routing. The drive-and-ferry alternative from Manhattan typically takes 5 to 7 hours including ferry waits, so the private flight saves the better part of a travel day each way.
Which airports does flyExclusive use for this route?
Common departure airports include Teterboro (TEB), Westchester County (HPN), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Republic (FRG), and Morristown (MMU). The arrival airport is Martha's Vineyard (MVY), which has a 5,500-foot main runway that comfortably accommodates light, midsize, and most super-midsize jets.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet from NYC to Martha's Vineyard?
One-way charter pricing typically ranges from approximately $9,000 for a light Citation CJ3+ up to $15,000+ for a super-midsize aircraft. Peak July and August Friday afternoon and Sunday evening slots carry the steepest premiums. Round-trip pairs price more efficiently than two separate one-ways. See our private jet charter cost guide.
Can larger jets land at Martha's Vineyard (MVY)?
Yes. MVY has a 5,500-foot main runway (Runway 6/24) that accommodates virtually every jet in our fleet, including the Citation Sovereign and the Challenger 350. The shorter cross-runway (3,300 ft) is used by smaller aircraft and the Cape Air commuter operation. Slot pressure is the binding constraint on summer weekends, not runway length.
Is MVY congested in July and August?
Yes. Friday afternoon and Sunday evening operations during peak summer are heavily slotted and frequently see 20- to 30-minute sequencing delays. We handle slot reservations, FBO scheduling, and ground transportation, and we recommend booking peak summer trips at least two weeks in advance.
What is the difference between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket private flights?
Flight time and pricing are nearly identical — both are roughly 200 nautical miles from the New York metro and run $9,000 to $15,000 one-way. The choice usually comes down to where you're staying. MVY is the right pick for Edgartown, Chilmark, Vineyard Haven, and West Tisbury; Nantucket (ACK) is for Nantucket, Siasconset, and Madaket. We can also coordinate hops between the two islands when guests want to see both.
