Baja California has some of the most stunning coastline, fishing, and luxury experiences in Mexico, but getting around the peninsula is usually the hard part. What used to be a 5, 8, or 12+ hour drive can become a direct private flight with views of the Sea of Cortez the whole way.
Our domestic charter flights are built for fishing groups, villa guests, golf trips, and multi-stop Baja itineraries. Depart from San Diego, Carlsbad, Cabo, Loreto, La Paz, and other Baja airstrips without long airport lines or wasted travel days.
This isn’t just about luxury. It’s about getting more out of your trip.
Tell us where you want to go. Share your departure city, destination(s), travel dates, and group size. We’ll put together a custom route and quote — usually within 24 hours.
Confirm your flight. Once you approve the itinerary and pricing, we lock in your aircraft and crew. Multi-stop trips? No problem.
Show up and fly. No long security lines. No layovers. No lost luggage. Board your plane and you’re in the air.

Charter Flights to Loreto, La Paz, Cabo and Beyond
Loreto charter flights: Perfect for villa stays, fishing trips, and quick access to TPC Danzante Bay without burning a full day on the road.
La Paz charter flights: Ideal for island hopping, whale shark season, and easy connections from Cabo or Loreto.
Los Cabos charter flights: Fly directly into Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo for villa stays, yacht charters, and multi-stop Baja itineraries.
San Diego to Baja flights: One of the fastest ways for U.S. travelers to reach Loreto, Bahía de los Ángeles, Ensenada, and other Baja destinations without border delays.
The Aircraft: Cessna Grand Caravan
All domestic charter flights operate on Cessna Grand Caravan turboprop aircraft — the gold standard for regional flying in Baja:
Seats up to 9 passengers — ideal for families, fishing groups, and small corporate teams
Turboprop reliability — designed for short runways and remote airstrips that jets can’t access
Pressurized, climate-controlled cabin — comfortable seating with real legroom
Cargo capacity — room for fishing gear, golf clubs, surfboards, and luggage
Proven in Baja conditions — handles heat, altitude, and short desert strips with ease
Why Fly Private in Baja?
Consider a group of 6 friends planning a fishing trip to Bahía de los Ángeles from San Diego:
Driving: 12+ hours each way through border crossings, desert highways, and unpaved roads. That’s two full vacation days sitting in a car.
Commercial flights: There are no commercial flights to Bahía de los Ángeles. Period. The closest airport is hours away by car.
Private charter: 90 minutes, door to door. You’re fishing by lunch.
Split among 6 passengers, the per-person cost is often comparable to what you’d spend on gas, border insurance, vehicle wear, meals on the road, and the two vacation days you’d lose to driving.
What Does a Charter Flight Cost?
Short hops (30–60 min): $3,500–$6,000 for the entire aircraft
Medium routes (60–120 min): $6,000–$10,000 for the entire aircraft
Multi-stop itineraries: Custom pricing based on routing
That’s the whole plane, not per person. A group of 6 on a $6,000 flight is paying $1,000 each for a 90-minute private flight that saves 12 hours of driving.
Who Books Charter Flights in Baja?
Fishing groups — World-class fishing in Bahía de los Ángeles, Loreto, or Isla de Cedros without wasting two days driving

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private charter flight in Baja cost?
Short routes (30–60 minutes) typically range from $3,500 to $6,000 for the aircraft. Longer routes run $6,000–$10,000. When split among 4–9 passengers, the per-person cost becomes very competitive — especially factoring in time saved versus driving.
What type of aircraft do you use?
Our charter flights use Cessna Grand Caravan turboprop aircraft — rugged, reliable planes that seat up to 9 passengers, handle Baja’s shorter airstrips with ease, and offer a spacious, climate-controlled cabin.
Can I fly from San Diego to destinations in Baja?
Yes! San Diego and Carlsbad are two of our most popular departure points. We offer direct flights to Bahía de los Ángeles (~90 min), Loreto (~2 hours), Cabo San Lucas, and other Baja destinations.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend 2–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (October–April). We can often accommodate shorter-notice requests depending on aircraft availability.
Can I create a multi-stop itinerary?
Absolutely — multi-stop itineraries are one of the biggest advantages of flying private in Baja. Popular routes include San Diego → Bahía de los Ángeles → Loreto, or Cabo → Loreto → La Paz.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. US citizens need a valid passport to enter Mexico. For domestic flights within Baja (e.g., Cabo to Loreto), you’ll need your passport and applicable Mexican travel documents.
What can I bring on the flight?
The Cessna Caravan has a generous cargo pod. Fishing rods, golf clubs, surfboards, dive gear, and standard luggage all fit comfortably.
Is it safe to fly on small planes in Baja?
Yes. Our aircraft are operated by experienced pilots with thousands of hours flying in Baja conditions. The Cessna Caravan is one of the most trusted aircraft in regional aviation worldwide. All flights are fully licensed and insured.
What happens if weather delays my flight?
Safety always comes first. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll reschedule or adjust the itinerary. One advantage of private charters is the flexibility to adapt — you’re not locked into a rigid airline schedule.
Skip the Drive. Fly Private Across Baja.
Baja California has some of the most stunning coastline, fishing, and luxury experiences in Mexico — but getting around the peninsula has always been the hard part. A 12-hour drive from San Diego to Loreto. A full day from Cabo to Bahía de los Ángeles. Roads that range from scenic to sketchy.
Our private charter flights change the math entirely. What used to be an all-day drive becomes a 60- to 90-minute flight in a comfortable, climate-controlled cabin — with views of the Sea of Cortez, desert mountains, and uninhabited islands the entire way.
This isn’t a jet service for corporate execs. It’s a practical, surprisingly affordable way to unlock parts of Baja that most travelers never see — because they can’t get there easily.

The Aircraft: Cessna Grand Caravan
All of our domestic charter flights operate on Cessna Grand Caravan turboprop aircraft — the gold standard for regional flying in Baja. Here’s why:
Seats up to 9 passengers — ideal for families, fishing groups, and small corporate teams
Turboprop reliability — designed for short runways and remote airstrips that jets can’t access
Pressurized, climate-controlled cabin — comfortable seating with real legroom
Cargo capacity — room for fishing gear, golf clubs, surfboards, and luggage
Proven in Baja conditions — handles heat, altitude, and short desert strips with ease
The Caravan isn’t flashy — it’s the workhorse of bush aviation. It goes where you need it to go, reliably, every time.
Why Fly Private in Baja?
We get it — “private charter flight” sounds expensive. But when you break down the real cost of the alternatives, the math is closer than you’d think.
Time Is the Real Luxury
Consider a group of 6 friends planning a fishing trip to Bahía de los Ángeles from San Diego:
Driving: 12+ hours each way through border crossings, desert highways, and unpaved roads. That’s two full days of your vacation just sitting in a car.
Commercial flights: There are no commercial flights to Bahía de los Ángeles. Period. The closest airport is in Guerrero Negro — still hours away by car.
Private charter: 90 minutes, door to door. You’re fishing by lunch.
Split among 6 passengers, the per-person cost of a charter is often comparable to what you’d spend on gas, border insurance, vehicle wear, meals on the road, and the two vacation days you’d lose to driving.
Access to Places You Can’t Reach Otherwise
Some of the best spots in Baja simply aren’t accessible by commercial air. Scorpion Bay (one of the longest rideable waves on earth) requires an 8-hour drive on rough roads from Cabo — or a 90-minute charter flight. Bahía de los Ángeles has no commercial service at all. Even Loreto, despite having a small commercial airport, has limited and unreliable flight schedules from the US.
Private charters open up the real Baja — the parts that haven’t been overrun by tourism.
Flexibility a Commercial Airline Will Never Give You

Pricing depends on the route, but here’s a realistic range:
Short hops (30–60 min): $3,500–$6,000 for the entire aircraft
Medium routes (60–120 min): $6,000–$10,000 for the entire aircraft
Multi-stop itineraries: Custom pricing based on routing and overnight needs
Remember — that’s the whole plane, not per person. A group of 6 on a $6,000 flight is paying $1,000 each. For a 90-minute private flight that saves you 12 hours of driving? That’s a pretty easy yes.
Our charter clients tend to fall into a few categories:
Fishing groups — Getting to world-class fishing in Bahía de los Ángeles, Loreto, or Isla de Cedros without wasting two days driving
Villa guests — Families and groups flying into Loreto or Cabo for a luxury villa stay, often combined with other experiences
Multi-destination travelers — People who want to see multiple parts of Baja in one trip (Cabo + Loreto + La Paz, for example)
Surf trips — Getting to remote breaks like Scorpion Bay that are almost inaccessible by road
Corporate retreats and events — Teams that need efficient group transportation to a single destination
Golf trips — Groups heading to TPC Danzante Bay in Loreto or the courses in Cabo
