The Praetor 600 and the Question of How Much Jet You Really Need
The Embraer Praetor 600 has helped stretch the boundaries of the super-midsize category, combining intercontinental range with a substantial, flat-floor cabin.
The new 600E builds on that foundation with a redesigned cabin round how passengers work, dine and rest in flight. We explore why the usual private jet categories no longer tell the whole story.
Bermuda Private Aviation: from Executive Stopover to Global Gateway
Private aviation has long been woven into Bermuda’s story, not simply as a symbol of luxury, but as part of the island’s role as a crossroads in the North Atlantic. Long before today’s business jets began arriving, Bermuda was already welcoming aircraft crossing the ocean, adapting alongside each new chapter in aviation.
Goodwood, Revisted
As the Festival of Speed returns from 9–12 July, we look beyond the hillclimb to the Goodwood Revival later in the year, where historic racing is shaped as much by the mechanics in the paddock as the drivers on the circuit — and by the wider estate that gives Goodwood its particular rhythm.
Before Fire and Ice: Borg, McEnroe and a Jamaican Prelude to Tennis Mythology
Some sporting moments become famous only later. At the time, they pass almost quietly: a tournament stop, a photograph, a few days of heat and movement before the calendar rolls on. But looking back, they gather a different charge. They become a glimpse of something before it had fully become itself.
Built for Big Game: Hemingway, Merritt, Viking and the Making of the Modern Sportfisher
With the Bermuda Triple Crown beginning this week, attention turns back offshore: to the boats, crews and quiet rituals that make big-game fishing such a particular world. It feels like the right moment to revisit a piece of sportfishing history — not one that begins with today’s tournament machines, but with Ernest Hemingway, and a modified wooden boat that helped shape an industry.
The Case for Private Aircraft Ownership versus Chartering
Private aircraft ownership offers control, consistency and access — but it is not always the most efficient route to private travel. Private Jet Club explores when ownership truly makes sense.
When Aircraft Become Destinatons
For most travellers, the aircraft is simply the means of transport. In a few places, however, the journey continues after the engines stop. We have curated four of the most convincing examples.
Five Summer 2026 Events Worth the Jet Fuel
Every summer offers more than anyone could reasonably attend. The calendar fills with finals, festivals and openings, each billed as unmissable, and most of them can in fact be missed. These five are worth the jet fuel.
The Piaggio P.180 Avanti: A Different Design Language
The Piaggio P.180 features a distinctive design that delivers optimal efficiency and purposeful utility. It is not strictly a business jet, although it is often compared with one. It is a twin turboprop, but not in the conventional sense. The difference is not only visual.
John Lennon Found His Voice in Bermuda
In the summer of 1980, John Lennon arrived in Bermuda seeking adventure and escape, only to rediscover his creative voice and begin writing the songs that would become Double Fantasy.

The Last Summer Island

Destination Notes: Monaco Season
There are destinations that deliver on their reputation, and there are destinations that exceed. Monaco belongs to the second category. Two square kilometres of coastline, architecture, and concentrated intention. What it lacks in size it compensates for in depth of experience the particular energy that comes from a place that has been deliberately excellent for a very long time.
