About Key West Day Flights

Our aircraft is N2020Q, a model year 2020 Cessna Grand Caravan EX. There is no better aircraft flying that is better suited to going to Key West for the day from the Naples Area.

2020Q has extremely low airframe and engine time (presently less than 700hrs), and looks and flies like a new aircraft. The high wing and enormous windows allow for excellent sightseeing as we fly south over Marco Island, the 10,000 islands, and the lower Florida Keys.

The cabin is the size of a super – midsize jet, with 8 passenger seats set up in a double club configuration.

Rachelle is a highly experienced, extremely professional Air Transport Pilot. She is a certificated flight instructor, former skydive jump zone pilot, and has flown N2020Q, our current Cessna Grand Caravan, full time since it was new in 2020.

Rachelle is very friendly and personable, she loves flying N2020Q on day trips to Key West and it shows.
