A private jet from Miami to Monaco costs between €95,000 and €160,000 one-way in 2026. The non-stop flight from Miami-Opa Locka to Nice Côte d'Azur takes approximately 9 hours on an ultra-long-range jet, followed by a 7-minute helicopter transfer into Monaco. Only large-cabin, ultra-long-range aircraft can fly this transatlantic route non-stop.
Miami to Monaco is the second major US corridor to the Riviera — connecting South Florida's concentration of wealth, yacht owners, and Latin American family offices with the Principality. The route peaks in May for the Grand Prix, through the Mediterranean summer, and again for the Yacht Show in September. Miami's yachting community makes this corridor particularly strong: a significant share of the yachts in Port Hercule have South Florida connections.
2026 Charter Pricing
The 7,700 km sector is ultra-long-range territory. Indicative one-way pricing:
Gulfstream G650 / G700: €100,000–€150,000. The default choice — fastest cruise in class and full staterooms for the nine-hour crossing.
Bombardier Global 7500: €105,000–€160,000. The longest-range option with a four-zone cabin and permanent bedroom.
Dassault Falcon 8X: €95,000–€140,000. Slightly lower pricing with excellent fuel efficiency on long sectors.
Round-trip pricing runs 1.8–1.9× the one-way rate when the aircraft waits. Grand Prix week and the Yacht Show add 20–40% premiums — book at least a month ahead for those windows.

Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) is South Florida's dedicated private aviation airport — multiple FBOs, no airline traffic, and departure processing in under 15 minutes. It is the default for Monaco flights.
Miami International (MIA) handles private jets through its general aviation facilities — useful when Opa-locka slots are constrained. For departures from Palm Beach and the northern coast, Palm Beach International (PBI) offers excellent business aviation infrastructure and is often faster on the ground for Wellington, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Island departures. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) serves the corridor between the two.
The Flight and the Arrival
The optimal schedule is an evening departure — 19:00–21:00 from Opa-locka puts you at Nice around 10:00–12:00 local after a full night's sleep in a proper berth. The helicopter transfer to Monaco Heliport takes 7 minutes (€190–€195 per person scheduled, €700+ private), landing you in the Principality for a late lunch.
Nice's business aviation terminal clears transatlantic arrivals in the FBO in minutes — customs, immigration, and luggage handled while you take coffee in the lounge.
When Demand Peaks
Three windows drive the corridor. The Grand Prix (late May) pulls Miami's motorsport and hospitality crowd. The summer season (June–August) carries families and yacht charterers positioning for the Mediterranean. The Yacht Show (late September) concentrates the yachting world's biggest week — and Miami's marine industry attends in force. For any of these, Nice slots and helicopter seats are the constraint.
Empty legs on this route are uncommon but valuable — a repositioning Gulfstream returning to South Florida after a Monaco drop-off can price 40–60% below standard charter.

Miami vs New York Departures
For travellers with flexibility between US East Coast departures: New York–Nice is 90 minutes shorter and prices €10,000–€20,000 lower. But for anyone based south of Washington DC, the Miami departure eliminates a positioning leg — and for the yachting community specifically, Opa-locka and Fort Lauderdale put you wheels-up within 30 minutes of the marina district.
