Private Jet Monterey to Capri

Monterey to Capri spans approximately 5,588 nautical miles, a route that sits firmly in ultra-long-range territory. The Gulfstream G650ER and Bombardier Global 7500 are well matched to this crossing, both offering the range to cover the roughly ten-and-three-quarter-hour flight non-stop, with cabins pressurised to a lower equivalent altitude that helps passengers arrive feeling less fatigued after such an extended sector. Departure is from Monterey Peninsula Airport, a compact and efficient starting point for travellers along California’s central coast. On the far side of the Atlantic, the flight concludes with a helicopter transfer onto Capri’s heliport, set into the cliffs above the harbour at Marina Grande. From there, guests are within easy reach of the Gardens of Augustus, terraced gardens laid out with sweeping views over the Faraglioni rocks and the winding Via Krupp path below. The island’s boutiques, many specialising in handcrafted leather sandals and bespoke perfume blends, line the lanes radiating from the Piazzetta, Capri’s famous small square that has hosted everyone from European royalty to Hollywood stars over the decades. The considerable distance between Monterey and Capri means this is a route best suited to travellers planning an extended stay, rather than a short visit, whether that is a family reunion spanning several generations or a milestone celebration that warrants the investment of a full transatlantic day. An ultra-long-range aircraft’s flat-bed seating and quiet cabin allow passengers to sleep through much of the crossing, landing on Capri with enough energy left to enjoy the golden hour light over Marina Piccola on their first evening.
