Hire a Private Jet to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

A private flight from London to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is one Atlantic crossing and, for many guests, one more short hop at the end. The main island has a modern airport with a 9,000-foot runway and customs on site, while the best-known islands of the chain, Mustique among them, have airstrips that take only propeller aircraft. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services.

 

private jet charter

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

  • using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
  • via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
  • by landline or cell phone;
  • via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Farnborough, an Embraer Praetor 600 to Argyle International Airport on Saint Vincent with one technical stop in the Azores, and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?

From Farnborough the straight line to Argyle is 3,834 nautical miles. A Praetor 600 or a Challenger 350 cannot fly that in one hop, so it goes in two legs through Santa Maria in the Azores, 1,400 nautical miles and then 2,496, together 62 more than the direct line. A Global 6000, a Gulfstream G550 or a G650ER flies it non-stop. The country keeps Atlantic Standard Time all year, four hours behind Britain in winter and five in summer. Times are westbound and count flying time only:

London to Argyle, Praetor 600 via the Azores
3,896 nautical miles from Farnborough in two legs, with about an hour on the ground at Santa Maria
about 9 h 30 min plus the stop
London to Argyle, Global 6000 non-stop
3,834 nautical miles from Farnborough in a single hop
about 8 h 30 min
Argyle to Mustique by turboprop
17 nautical miles, the last hop for most villa guests
about 35 min gate to gate
Argyle to London, Global 6000 non-stop
3,834 nautical miles to Farnborough, with the jet stream behind the aircraft
about 7 h 15 min

Where a jet can and cannot land

Only two airports in the chain take jets: Argyle on the main island and the jet port on Canouan. Mustique, Bequia and Union Island have short runways for propeller aircraft, so the last stretch is by turboprop or boat.

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

Prices for the private jet flights to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Typical charter prices from Britain, cheapest first. The cheaper rows are super-midsize jets that reach the islands after one stop in the Azores. The dearer ones are large-cabin jets that fly non-stop, which is worth paying for when the party and the luggage need the space. Most rows land at Argyle; one shows the jet port on Canouan:

Two things worth knowing about these figures

– A Praetor 600 from Farnborough starts at £61,250, and the same aircraft from Biggin Hill is £61,700. A Falcon 900LX from Biggin Hill non-stop is about £96,550 and a Gulfstream G650ER about £124,450. The larger jet buys space and a single hop.

– A one-way price carries the aircraft's journey home, because the jet crosses the Atlantic again whether it carries you or not. A return booked for a week or two, or a flexible date that catches an empty leg, changes the arithmetic more than any negotiation. Air Passenger Duty is shown as a separate line in the quotation.

 

Private jet flights within Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and to its neighbours

Turboprop airlines link the main island with the chain running south towards Grenada, and a private charter is chosen for timing and luggage. Short sectors are priced at a minimum charge, which is why several rows share one figure:

Route Aircraft Flight time Price, one way

Check the runway before the aircraft

A Pilatus PC-12 is the type we price for the island hops. Mustique takes propeller aircraft with up to 18 seats in daylight only, and the Union Island runway is short with a steep approach, so the operator confirms the aircraft before we quote. Saint Lucia, Barbados and Grenada are separate countries, and each landing there is a fresh entry with its own checks.

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

Business aviation airports for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The country has two jet airports, Argyle and Canouan, and a few airstrips for the last mile. It is a small market with limited services and few FBO choices.

Airport Ground How it operates
Argyle International
SVD / TVSA
Eastern coast of Saint Vincent, about 5 miles (8 km) from Kingstown The airport we plan on. Runway 04/22, asphalt, about 9,000 by 148 feet, elevation 136 feet. An airport of entry with customs on site; slots are not required and handling is not mandatory. Airport and tower are listed from 06:00 to 22:00 local time, with opening outside those hours on request and prior permission. Jet fuel is listed. The FBO is Vincy Aviation Services, which serves commercial, executive and private traffic and lists a passenger lounge and catering, with Pike Aviation Corp listed as supervising agent. Virgin Atlantic flies here from London Heathrow
Canouan Jet Port
CIW / TVSC
South-western end of Canouan, with approaches over the water The jet airport for the southern Grenadines. Runway 13/31, asphalt, about 5,876 by 98 feet, lit in both directions, with GPS and NDB/DME approaches. Customs and immigration are listed, slots are not required and handling is mandatory, through Canouan Aviation Services. Administration and tower are listed Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 20:00 local time and at other times on request with prior permission. A Praetor or a Challenger lands here without trouble; for the largest ultra-long-range jets the operator checks the runway length
Mustique
MQS / TVSM
North-east of Canouan, on the privately owned island, 17 nautical miles from Argyle A 3,255-foot runway for propeller aircraft with up to 18 seats; jets are not permitted. The airport belongs to the Mustique Company and has a small terminal with customs and immigration. The runway is unlit, there are no radio aids, landings are visual and the airfield closes before sunset. Jet passengers land at Canouan or Argyle and transfer by turboprop or boat
Bequia and Union Island
BQU and UNI
Bequia lies 13 nautical miles south-west of Argyle; Union Island is the southernmost airport of the country Short runways for turboprops: Bequia about 3,600 feet, Union Island about 2,500 feet with a steep approach, and the latter is closed to jets. Scheduled turboprops from the regional airlines use both. We use them as the last sector of a charter
Barbados Grantley Adams
BGI / TBPB
101 nautical miles to the east of Argyle The nearest large gateway, open round the clock for business aviation, with Signature, Universal Aviation and M Jet as FBOs. We use it for crew positioning and as an alternative landing

 

Daylight decides the last hop

Mustique closes before sunset and has no lights, so a late arrival often ends at Canouan or Argyle, with the island hop the next morning.

Handling is a must at Canouan

We book the handler together with the landing slot, so that customs, fuel and parking are arranged before arrival.

Charter permission and passenger data

A non-scheduled flight with passengers needs landing permission from the civil aviation authority of the Eastern Caribbean, with the aircraft documents, the insurance certificate, the passenger and crew details and a local ground handler. We confirm the requirement in writing before departure.

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an independent country in the Commonwealth. A flight from London arrives as an international flight, and everyone aboard clears immigration and customs at Argyle or at the Canouan jet port.

Passports
valid for at least six months after the day you arrive; British citizens need no visa and are granted six months on entry, and a longer stay needs an extension from the immigration department
every passenger, children included
Health
a yellow fever certificate is asked for only from travellers arriving from a country with a risk of transmission
only from risk countries
Customs
strict rules on goods brought in and taken out; anything that may be prohibited or dutiable is declared, and because of foot and mouth disease an import licence is needed to bring any food
declare when in doubt

British government travel advice does not cover private aircraft, and refers questions to the High Commission of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in London. It does not describe online entry forms or a departure charge, so we confirm both with the handler and tell you what to complete in advance.

Coming home, a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities between 48 and two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, while most other nationalities do. A dual national returns on a valid British passport.

 

passport and customs paperwork for a private jet flight

 

Which island is near which airport

The airport you land at decides the first transfer:

Kingstown
the capital and harbour, on the road from Argyle
about 5 miles
Bequia
Port Elizabeth in Admiralty Bay, by turboprop or by the ferry, which takes about an hour from Kingstown
13 nautical miles
Mustique
the private island of villas, by turboprop from Argyle or Canouan, or by ferry from Saint Vincent
17 nautical miles
Canouan and Union Island
the southern Grenadines: Canouan has the jet port, and Union Island is reached by turboprop or boat
31 to 38 nautical miles

 

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: what our clients go for

The country covers about 389 square kilometres and had 109,296 people at the last census. The capital is Kingstown, English is official, most people also speak Vincentian Creole. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. The main island is volcanic: La Soufriere rises to 1,234 metres, and an eruption that began on 9 April sent ash several miles up and led to about 16,000 people being evacuated.

Many private clients head for the islands to the south. Mustique is owned by a private company whose shareholders are the villa owners, with about 120 villas, many rented through the company, and a company-owned hotel. Every visitor is registered with the island's security force. Services on the smaller islands are limited, so we plan staff, boats and transfers before the aircraft is booked.

 

The year in the Grenadines: dry months, wet months and hurricanes

The islands are warm all year, with average highs between about 27 and 30 degrees, and the year splits into two seasons:

January to April
the dry months, with February and March the driest and the most popular, and January and Christmas busy as well
peak
May
a transitional month with fewer visitors and more showers, before the rains settle in
shoulder
June to November
the wet season, with rainfall highest in October, and the hurricane season runs through the same months
low season, storm risk

Storms and the volcano are real considerations

Hurricane Beryl, a Category 4 storm, hit on 1 July and left more than nine in ten buildings on Union Island, Mayreau and Canouan uninhabitable. The airport was reported open immediately afterwards, but a storm warning closes airports, so for the wet months we keep dates flexible and book refundable ground arrangements.

 

The calendar: regattas, carnival and festivals

Dates are usual months, and the organisers set the exact days. Each of these weeks fills the villas, the yachts and the small airstrips:

January
The Mustique Blues Festival
Easter weekend
The Bequia Easter Regatta, a four-day boat race that fills the harbour, with Easterval on Union Island at about the same time
May
The Canouan Regatta
Late June to early July
Vincy Mas, the main carnival of the country, about twelve days long; Carnival Monday and Tuesday are public holidays
27 October
Independence Day, with parades and festivities
16 to 24 December
The Nine Mornings Festival, with street parties from dawn, at the start of the Christmas season

We confirm the handler, the transfer and the parking together with the flight.

Flying to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin. The rules for the way in are detailed, so start early.

The two facts to read before you book

St Vincent and the Grenadines asks for an import permit, which the vet completes and the Agriculture Department approves, a microchip, a rabies vaccine that is not a multi-year one, a rabies titer test processed at an approved laboratory in the UK or the US, treatment against internal and external parasites within seven days of import, and a health certificate from a licensed vet endorsed by the government authority of the country of departure. The port of entry for animals is Argyle, and at least 48 hours' notice is asked. Sources differ on the waiting time between the vaccine and the titer test, so we take it from the Agriculture Department. An animal that meets the rules is not quarantined.

On the way home, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a listed country under the British rules, and the animal needs a Great Britain pet health certificate. A dog needs tapeworm treatment from a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than 5 days before landing in Britain, and an animal that does not meet the conditions can be quarantined for up to four months.

  • The microchip is the ISO 15-digit kind, its number goes on every document, and the core vaccines for dogs and cats are required as well as rabies;
  • No list of banned breeds is published, but the owner answers for the animal's behaviour.

Wolf hybrids and Savannah and Bengal cats are excluded unless they are at least five generations from the wild ancestor. We confirm the permit with the Agriculture Department and the entry point and paperwork in writing before the flight. Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less usual species are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

private flight with animals

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. A charter to the Grenadines is one-way by nature, and the aircraft has to cross an ocean to get home, so a leg to or from the Eastern Caribbean appears whenever a jet is sent out to collect a party or flies home after dropping one.

These legs are less regular than on a busy European corridor, and flexible dates improve the chance of a match. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of empty legs on this route follows:

Route Aircraft Capacity Whole aircraft
Saint Vincent - UK (London Farnborough) Praetor 600 9 seats £25,700
UK (London Gatwick) - Saint Vincent Praetor 600 9 seats £25,850
Saint Vincent - UK (London Luton) Praetor 600 9 seats £25,950
UK (Belfast) - Saint Vincent Challenger 350 9 seats £30,100
Saint Vincent - UK (Belfast) Falcon 900LX 12 seats £39,100
UK (London Biggin Hill) - Saint Vincent Falcon 900LX 12 seats £40,550

Each price is for the whole aircraft rather than per seat.

 

empty legs

 

Helicopter charter

We did not find a helicopter operator on the islands that we could confirm. A helicopter is arranged case by case, with the landing site, the operator and the customs clearance agreed in advance, and only in daylight. For Mustique, Bequia and the southern Grenadines the turboprop and the boat are the established ways.

Frequently asked questions about flying to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

1How long does it take to fly to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines by private jet?

About 9 h 25 min non-stop from a London airfield in a Falcon 900LX, and about 9 h 30 min in a Praetor 600 plus about an hour on the ground in the Azores. The way home is shorter with the jet stream behind the aircraft.

2How much does a private jet to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines cost?

From about £61,250 one way from Farnborough to Argyle in a Praetor 600 with a stop in the Azores. A Falcon 900LX non-stop from Biggin Hill is about £96,550. Air Passenger Duty is shown as a separate line in the quotation.

3Which airports do private jets use for the Grenadines?

Argyle (SVD, TVSA) on Saint Vincent, with a runway of about 9,000 feet and Vincy Aviation Services as the FBO, and the Canouan jet port (CIW, TVSC) with a runway of about 5,900 feet. Mustique takes propeller aircraft only, with up to 18 seats, no lights and a closing time before sunset, so jet passengers continue by turboprop or boat.

4What are the passport and customs rules for a private flight from Britain?

British citizens need no visa and are granted six months on entry, with a passport valid for at least six months after arrival. Anything prohibited or dutiable is declared, an import licence is needed to bring food, and we confirm the entry forms and the departure charge with the handler.

5Can I take my dog or cat on a private jet to the islands?

Yes, with an import permit, a microchip, a rabies vaccine and titer test, parasite treatment and an endorsed health certificate, entering through Argyle. The country is a listed one under the British rules, so the way home needs a Great Britain pet health certificate and, for a dog, tapeworm treatment before landing.

6When is the best time to fly, and how early should I book?

January to April is the dry and busiest part of the year; the hurricane season runs from June to November. Book early for January, Easter and Christmas.
