Private air transfers from Caracas and Maiquetía to Los Roques, La Tortuga, Isla Margarita, and beyond — your complete guide to reaching Venezuela’s sailing destinations by air.
Reserve your flight online or through your charter operator. Most airlines offer same-week bookings, but peak season (Dec–Apr) fills fast.
Depart from Maiquetía (Simón Bolívar International) or the domestic terminal at Caracas. Flights are scenic, low-altitude hops over turquoise waters.
Land on the island airstrip and transfer directly to your yacht or posada. Most strips are just steps from the dock.

Prices are estimates for 2024–2025 season and vary by operator, aircraft type, and demand. Private charters cost more per seat but offer flexible scheduling.
Regular scheduled flights with fixed timetables. Albatross Airlines is the most established carrier to Los Roques, operating daily Cessna Caravan and Twin Otter flights from Maiquetía. Book early for December–April high season.
Hire an entire aircraft for your group — ideal for families or charter crews arriving together. Cessna 206 (3–5 pax) and Beechcraft King Air (8–10 pax) are the most common types. Flexible departure times and direct routing.
The fastest and most scenic option. Helicopters can land at remote islands and private yacht docks with no airstrip. Higher cost but unmatched flexibility, especially for reaching La Tortuga and smaller cays.
Small aircraft enforce strict limits — typically 10–15 kg per person including carry-on. Excess luggage can follow on the next flight for an extra fee. Pack soft bags, not hard suitcases.
Arrive at least 60 minutes before departure for scheduled flights. Charter and helicopter flights are more flexible but still require 30 minutes for weight-and-balance checks.
Book round-trip for a discount. Confirm 48 hours before departure — cancellations due to weather are common. Pay in USD where possible to lock in the rate.
Dry season (Dec–Apr) has the most frequent flights and calmest skies. Wet season (May–Nov) sees reduced frequencies and occasional delays from tropical squalls. Morning flights are the most reliable year-round.
Discover the pristine archipelago that awaits at the end of your flight — crystal-clear waters, white sand, and world-class sailing.
