Direct comfort and island‑hopping ease
Board a Pilatus PC‑12 NGX in Miami and climb southeast for roughly 3:45, landing first at Beef Island’s Terrance B. Lettsome International — the only BVI runway with immigration services. Passports are stamped beside the aircraft while crew moves bags to a pre‑booked Britten‑Norman Islander. 17 minutes later, you'll touch down on Virgin Gorda’s 3,100‑foot strip, already cleared and ready for the five‑minute drive to Leverick Bay or the yacht docks at Bitter End.
Alternate routes through San Juan and St. Thomas add boat rides and extra fees. This two‑leg charter pairs nonstop efficiency with reef‑top scenery out of the Islander’s panorama windows. By mid‑afternoon you can be snorkeling The Baths’ granite grottoes, sipping a Painkiller at Saba Rock, or dropping anchor in North Sound before sundown.

Opa‑locka’s 24‑hour CBP lounge speeds curb‑to‑takeoff, while Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood can sidestep Miami Center traffic for Broward flyers. In the BVI, Terrance B. Lettsome is the sole Port of Entry with a 7,100‑foot runway and full GA services; Virgin Gorda’s 3,100‑foot strip accepts daylight domestic arrivals only, limited to STOL turboprops like an Islander.

Fly to Virgin Gorda with ease
Swim The Baths’ granite grottoes, sail Anegada flats, and toast sunset from Gorda Peak all on arrival day thanks to nonstop timing and a quick shuttle hop.
The PC‑12 NGX hauls kite rigs through its cargo door and delivers jet level speed on half the fuel burn. Need stand up headroom or eight seats? Upgrade to a Phenom 300E for a modest premium.
Yacht season run from December to April and fills Beef Island's slots about four days early. Spring regatta week is the busiest period. Summer showers flare after 3 p.m., so departing early in the day is a smart idea.
After the Islander rolls to a halt, resort drivers greet you planeside and load bags before clearing the apron. North Sound hotels are 10 minutes by taxi and launch from Gun Creek dock, while Spanish Town villas lie five minutes south. Late arrivals can book a six‑minute helicopter lift from Beef Island instead.

Virgin Gorda's runway is only 3,100 feet and has no immigration office. BVI rules require clearing at Beef Island first. After passports are stamped, the Islander’s short takeoff ability handles the quick transfer to VG with ease.
With paperwork filed in advance, customs averages 15 to 20 minutes. Bags move to the Islander at the same time, so total ground time typically stays under 30 minutes.
