Getting to Nantucket without a charter means a ferry or a connection, which is why so much of the island’s summer traffic arrives by private aircraft.
Wedding and Honeymoon Travel
Nantucket is a wedding island for a good part of the year, and the flying divides neatly: guests in, the couple out, and sometimes a separate aircraft for family arriving from further away.
Guest Flights and the Wedding Party
Guest flights and the wedding party’s own flight rarely want the same aircraft or the same timings, and on a single-airport island they will often want different days as well. We run them as separate bookings that we coordinate.
Honeymoon Legs and Customs
For an international honeymoon, remember there is no customs on the island: the departure clears on the mainland, and Cape Cod Gateway at Hyannis is the nearest customs airport. Tell us the destination early and we will build that into the routing.
Nantucket-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
The same prior-permission rule at Martha’s Vineyard requires twenty-four hours rather than two. If you are booking at short notice and either island would do, Nantucket is the one that can take you.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Before we confirm anything, we check:
- 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)
- The operator’s safety and incident history
- That the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them
