Private Jet Beverly to Capri

Beverly Regional Airport, on Massachusetts’ North Shore just beyond Boston, is the departure point for a 3,659 nautical mile transatlantic sector to Capri, a distance well within reach of a Gulfstream G550 or Challenger 650, both capable of the crossing without a fuel stop while cruising near 45,000 feet for a smoother ride above most weather systems. Leaving behind the rocky coastline north of Boston, passengers arrive by helicopter at Capri Heliport to a markedly different maritime landscape, one built on limestone cliffs rather than granite headlands. The Blue Grotto remains the island’s most celebrated natural feature, its interior glowing an intense blue as sunlight refracts beneath the low entrance, an effect best appreciated by small rowing boat in the calmer hours of early morning. Marina Grande, the working harbour beneath Capri town, handles the daily arrival of ferries and hydrofoils from Naples and Sorrento, while a funicular carries visitors up to the Piazzetta, the small square that has anchored the island’s social life for generations. The Faraglioni sea stacks, three limestone towers rising from the water off the southeastern coast, are visible from the Gardens of Augustus, terraced above the switchback Via Krupp path. Anacapri, reached by road or the chairlift to Monte Solaro’s summit, offers a quieter counterpart to the harbourside energy below. Given the island’s small footprint, cars are largely absent, with electric taxis and foot traffic setting the pace throughout. This route suits North Shore travellers who appreciate coastal New England living and are looking for a Mediterranean equivalent with considerably more elevation, history and, in season, considerably more glamour than their own stretch of Atlantic shoreline offers.
