Private Charter Between Nassau and St. Maarten.
About 2 hours 40 minutes in the Lear 60 between Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) and Princess Juliana International (TNCM). Nassau ↔ St. Maarten is a Caribbean luxury route both as a primary destination — French-side St. Martin, the Dutch-side Maho corridor — and as the staging field for onward broker lift into St. Barts (TFFJ).
Why this route
St. Maarten functions as both a destination and a transit hub in our Caribbean network. As a destination, the Dutch-side Maho and Simpson Bay areas, plus the French-side beaches at Grand Case and Orient, draw steady leisure traffic. As a transit hub, TNCM is the standard staging field for onward light-aircraft lift to St. Barts (TFFJ), Saba (TNCS), and other smaller-runway Caribbean fields the Lear 60 can't reach directly.
The flight is two hours forty minutes — well within the Lear's nonstop range with reserves. Customs and immigration handled at both ends. Pet-friendly cabin; bag capacity comfortable for a typical eight-passenger group on a week-long resort stay.
Airport & FBO
Princess Juliana International (TNCM) is the Caribbean's busiest small-island airport and has well-developed biz aviation infrastructure. Arrindell Aviation Services and Signature both operate FBOs with full private-terminal services and customs clearance on-field.
For onward broker lift to St. Barts, the connection is made on the TNCM ramp — Tradewind, St. Barth Commuter, or Winair small aircraft pick up directly from the FBO. Total chain time from MYNN to TFFJ is about three hours including the St. Maarten transfer.
On the Nassau end, all flights operate out of MYNN. Bahamian customs and immigration on departure clears at MYNN; Dutch customs at TNCM on arrival.
