Grand Isle Villas Set to Soar to Great Exuma with Marquis Jet Card Service

New York, NY: Marquis JetSM, the leader in private jet cards, and Great Exuma's Grand Isle Villas, a premier real estate offering in the Family Islands of the Bahamas, announced an alliance that couples the benefits of world class private aviation with luxury real estate. Through this arrangement, both Marquis Jet Card Owners and Grand Isle residents will receive access to the best in the air and on land.

Partnering the Marquis Jet Card with Grand Isle Villas is a highly unique concept that provides the most comfortable and convenient access to the renowned property. Through an exclusive alliance with NetJets, the Marquis Jet Card provides access to 25 hours of flight time with NetJets' world-renowned fleet, pilots and unparalleled safety standards*. With the Marquis Jet Card, owners can get to Grand Isle Villas from New York in just three hours - and even faster from closer destinations like Washington DC and Atlanta - with absolutely no connections, delays, long lines or baggage claim.

Under the terms of the alliance:

  • Purchasers of a Penthouse at Grand Isle Villas will receive a 25-hour Marquis Jet Card on the Citation V Ultra, a seven passenger jet, compliments of Grand Isle Villas.
  • When any Grand Isle Villas resident purchases their first 25-hour Marquis Jet Card, they will receive a $5,000 certificate towards special amenities at Grand Isle Villas, compliments of Marquis Jet.

"We are thrilled to have been selected by Grand Isle Villas as their exclusive private Jet Card," said Ken Austin, Executive Vice President of Marquis Jet. "The property at Great Exuma is a special one and having access to the NetJets fleet 25 hours at a time for those who purchase penthouse villas is unprecedented in the Bahamas. We look forward to welcoming these new property owners into the Marquis Jet family and working with a first class organization like Grand Isle Villas."

"We are excited about the partnership between Grand Isle Villas and Marquis Jet. It signals another leap in the premium offerings of the Bahamas," said Jim Clabaugh, President of EGI LTD, developers of Grand Isle Villas. "For a penthouse to come with a complementary Marquis Jet Card which provides access to the world's best private jet service, NetJets, is spectacular and for it to happen in Exuma is significant for the island and the country."

"This new partnership ushers in an exceptional level of private jet service and deluxe accommodation for visitors to Exuma," said Minister of Tourism Obie Wilchcombe. "It also represents a paradigm shift for deliverance of the best class service to the Bahamas. We look forward to the long-term benefits such a service is likely to have on the economy of Exuma. I wish Marquis Jet and Grand Isles Villas a long and mutually beneficial relationship."
