Super light jets sit between light and midsize, which often makes them the right size for Bahamas trips starting further north. The Pilatus PC-24 is a practical fit for a small party crossing to the islands together.
Pilatus Aircraft introduced the Pilatus PC-24 in 2018. Cabins are typically fitted with a flat cabin floor and notably low cabin noise, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting. Lavatory: standard is externally serviced.

Why the Pilatus PC-24 Fits the Bahamas
The cabin is noticeably quieter and more spacious than a light jet on a sector over two hours.
It adds genuine range over a light jet, which matters once the Bahamas trip is starting from the Northeast rather than Florida.
At 2,000 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Bahamas departure reaches Boston, Dallas, and Toronto without a stop. Treat it as a planning figure. The operator confirms what the aircraft will do on your date and load.

- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- 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.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
