Why Fly Private
Martha's Vineyard is an island with limited commercial air service and seasonal ferry schedules that create bottlenecks during summer weekends. Private aviation provides the only reliable way to maintain your schedule, especially during July and August when demand peaks. A private jet from New York takes just one hour, turning what would be a half-day commercial journey into a quick hop.
