About
I'm Bob Freeman, and I'll be your one call.
I've spent more than 25 years working with business owners and affluent families, first as a stockbroker with Dean Witter and Waddell & Reed, then running my own financial services practice. The lesson from all of it is simple: people want one trusted person who answers the phone and gets it right.
That's how I run Gulf Coast Jet Partners. I live in Tampa Bay, I know the local private terminals, and I'm backed by a 24/7 flight operations team and a network of thousands of aircraft. You get big-network reach with a local name you can call.

Questions
Before you fly.
How much does a private flight cost?
It depends on the aircraft, distance and dates. A light jet typically seats up to six, and when a group shares the plane the cost per person can come closer to first class than most people expect. Request a quote and I'll show you real options.
How far ahead should I book?
Many trips can be arranged within 24 to 48 hours. For holidays, big events and peak season from December to April, book as early as you can.
Can I bring my pets?
Yes, on most aircraft your pets can ride in the cabin with you. Let me know when you request a quote so I can confirm with the operator.
How do I pay?
You sign your charter agreement and pay securely online by wire transfer, ACH or credit card. Wire avoids card processing fees.
What is an empty leg?
It's a flight a jet needs to make without passengers, such as returning home after a one-way trip. Operators sell these at a discount. The route and time are set, and the flight can change if the original trip changes.
