The Daher TBM 900 is the fastest single-engine turboprop on the Naples market, and it is a smart pick for a couple flying themselves down for a long weekend at the Ritz-Carlton or a business owner running a Naples-to-Atlanta-to-Charlotte day loop. APF and MKY both handle it easily.
Daher launched the TBM 900 in 2014 as a refresh of the TBM 850 with a torque-controlled PT6A-66D, a five-blade Hartzell prop, and airframe drag cleanups worth roughly 30 knots on the same fuel burn. The result is 1,730 nautical miles of range, 330 knots cruise, 31,000-foot ceiling, and seating for five to six.

Why the Daher TBM 900 Fits Naples
330 knots of cruise on a single PT6 makes the TBM 900 the closest thing to a light jet on operating cost. For a Naples client flying to Nashville (BNA), Charlotte (CLT), or Savannah (SAV) for a member-guest tournament, the TBM does the leg 30 to 45 minutes faster than a King Air 200 while burning less fuel.
1,730 nautical miles of range covers TEB, HPN, BED, and PWK to APF nonstop for a single owner-pilot trip; for a full-cabin trip southbound to the Bahamas or Turks and Caicos, expect the numbers to tighten and plan payload accordingly.
Owner-pilots make up a real slice of the TBM market. If a Naples client asks about charter and also asks about buying, the acquisition team should be looped in early; a TBM ownership case can pencil out at 200 to 300 annual hours.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Charter Pricing Reference
Industry hourly rates for the Daher TBM 900 run $2,000 to $2,800 per hour as of 7/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.
TBM 900 hourly rates run comparable to a King Air 90 or C90GTx but deliver jet-adjacent speed, which is why the type is popular with owner-flown missions and single-family charter.
