A short summer hop, popular for weekends on the island.
On a typical day you're looking at about $5,500 to $7,500 one way in a light jet, with 40 min in the air between Teterboro and Martha's Vineyard. The rest of this page covers what moves that number, which airports to use at each end and the trade-offs between jet sizes.
What you'll pay to fly private from New York to Martha's Vineyard

What moves the price
July and August account for most of the year's flights to the island.
Dates matter more than most people expect. July and August account for most of the year's traffic.
And a jet that has to fly empty to pick you up costs more than one already sitting at Teterboro.
What isn't in the hourly rate
Two quotes can look different simply because one includes these and the other doesn't:
- Landing, parking and handling fees at Teterboro and Martha's Vineyard.
- De-icing at Teterboro on cold mornings, which can add a meaningful amount between December and March.
- If the jet stays in Martha's Vineyard for your return, you pay for the crew's hotel and meals.
- Minimum billed time. This flight is short, and minimums often decide the price more than the distance.
A good broker will give you the all-in figure without being asked twice. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.

Which airports to use
Leaving New York
Most flights leave from Teterboro (TEB), about 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Other options: Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG).
Arriving in Martha's Vineyard
- Martha's Vineyard (MVY), about 4 miles from Edgartown in a straight line. In the middle of the island. Very seasonal, with most traffic in July and August.
Which jet do you need?
At this distance, a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12 is often the smartest choice: it costs less per hour and the time difference with a jet is small.
Good to know on this route
- Turboprops are a common choice because they suit the short distance.
- Friday afternoons out and Sunday evenings back are the busiest slots.
- Friday departures and Sunday returns in summer are the hardest to book.
Getting a better price
- Be open on airports: a nearby airport sometimes has a cheaper aircraft available.
- Move by a day: shifting just one day away from a holiday or event often lowers the quote.
- Book the return together: keeping the same aircraft for the return is often cheaper than booking two separate one-way trips.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday to Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Fridays and Sundays.
Booking takes a few steps: send your dates and passenger count, compare all-in quotes, check the operator and sign. Our booking guide walks through each one.
