Passport to Privacy

Private travel has always been the epitome of luxury. Chartered planes, chauffeured cars and exclusive accommodations are often considered options that are available for only the fortunate few, the rest of us left to wrestle with airport traffic, long security lines and early morning wake-ups in order to claim a lounger by the pool. Whether it’s the ease of accessibility or the prioritizing of health safety, this year, globetrotters are looking to more personalized options for land, sea and air.

Swimming in hues of green and blue water, feeling the island breezes blow through our hair is what Caribbean dreams are made of, and there is no one better at connecting passengers to paradise than Makers Air.

Being escorted to the Makers Club, a private lounge for your group, you glance to the bar and see that a perfectly chilled glass of your favorite rosé is already being poured. After being guided out to the aircraft, the pilot introduces himself while you step onto a new Cessna Grand Caravan EX, the sumptuous interior providing plush seating for up to eight guests.
