Entry-level jets are where Bahamas charter starts if you want a jet rather than a turboprop on the crossing. The Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 is a practical fit for a small party crossing to the islands together.
Cirrus Aircraft introduced the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 in 2016. It is used out of the Bahamas partly because it can work short runways. Seats: max 7 in 5+2 child config.

Why the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 Fits the Bahamas
Cabin space is modest, so it suits three or four passengers rather than a full group with luggage.
It gives you jet speed on the Florida crossing while still working the shorter Bahamian runways without a long performance discussion.
At 1,275 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Bahamas departure reaches Washington DC, Philadelphia, and St Maarten without a stop. Treat it as a planning figure. The operator confirms what the aircraft will do on your date and load.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
