Private Jet Cannes to Capri

Cannes to Capri covers 374 nautical miles, a distance a Phenom 100 handles efficiently, its light-jet cruise well matched to a sector connecting two of the Mediterranean’s most storied coastal destinations. Departing Cannes Mandelieu, the aircraft climbs east along the French and Italian Rivieras before turning south toward the Bay of Naples, typically cruising in the high 30,000s for a smooth, unhurried ride across what is a relatively brief crossing. The descent into Capri Heliport, on the col between Capri town and Anacapri, offers views over the island’s cliffs and the Faraglioni sea stacks well before touchdown. From there, guests are close to Via Camerelle’s boutiques and to the Piazzetta, where the island’s evening ritual of seeing and being seen has continued largely unbroken since the era of la dolce vita. Marina Piccola, the smaller of Capri’s two harbours, offers a quieter alternative to the busier Marina Grande for those keen to swim before the day heats up. Guests moving between Cannes and Capri during the Mediterranean season are often following the film festival and summer social calendar south, treating the two destinations as connected stops on a single itinerary rather than separate trips. The short crossing time means this transition can happen within a single afternoon, letting travellers make the most of both destinations without losing a full day to the journey between them. Guests with time for a longer stay often venture to Anacapri by chairlift for views across the bay, a worthwhile contrast to the more familiar sights closer to the Piazzetta and Marina Grande.
