The Cessna Citation Ultra sits between the Bravo and the Encore in the Naples light-jet market, a mid-1990s update to the Citation V with better hot-and-high performance and an enclosed lavatory. For a Naples trip inside 1,700 nautical miles with seven or eight seats, the Ultra is a common charter pick.
Cessna certified the Citation Ultra in 1994 as the successor to the Citation V, with more powerful JT15D-5D engines and a redesigned interior. The type seats seven to eight, cruises at 427 knots to 45,000 feet, delivers 1,710 nautical miles of range, and carries 67 cubic feet of baggage in an enclosed-lavatory cabin.

Why the Cessna Citation Ultra Fits Naples
Range at 1,710 nautical miles handles TEB-APF, HPN-APF, BED-APF, and PWK-APF nonstop with a full cabin. Toronto (YYZ) will be a nonstop with a light payload and headwind planning; treat it as case-by-case.
The Ultra is not on Naples Jet Charter’s staging fleet catalogue but shows up in the local charter market from Northeast operators positioning south for season. Expect availability to skew to charter rather than a scheduled Naples-based asset.
APF is comfortable for the Ultra on any typical day; runway performance is not the limiting factor.
