The Embraer Phenom 300 is the most chartered light jet in the world and one of the most common jets on the ramp in Palm Beach. It carries six to eight passengers, flies 1,971 nautical miles, and handles the two trips this market runs constantly: the Bahamas hop and the Northeast business leg.
Embraer powers the Phenom 300 with two Pratt and Whitney Canada PW535E engines, cruising around 453 knots with 1,971 nautical miles of range. The cabin seats six to eight with an air-stair door, a private aft lavatory and an external baggage compartment. The type is approved for single-pilot operation, though many charter operators crew it with two pilots as a matter of their own policy.

Why the Embraer Phenom 300 Fits Palm Beach
West Palm Beach to Teterboro is roughly 900 nautical miles and to Chicago about 995. Both are nonstop for a Phenom 300 with a full cabin. For Palm Beach and Boca Raton fund managers running the Northeast circuit in season, it is the light jet that covers the pattern without stepping up to midsize money.
Boca Raton Airport suits the Phenom 300 well, which matters for clients in Boca Raton, Delray and Highland Beach who would otherwise drive north to Trump International. Runway performance is confirmed for the day’s weight and conditions before the trip is booked.
FAR Part 135 sets minimum crew requirements by aircraft type, and the Phenom 300 is one of the types certified for single-pilot operation. If you want two pilots on the flight deck for your trip, say so when we quote and we will source an operator whose policy matches.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Charter Pricing Reference

The Phenom 300 quotes at approximately $4,500 to $5,800 per hour as of 9/2026. Its fleet in South Florida is large, so short-notice availability and pricing in a busy Palm Beach February hold up better than on a scarcer type.
