The Socata TBM 850 is the PT6A-66D-engined evolution of the TBM 700, and Naples clients see it as a real speed-with-turboprop-economics option: 320 knots cruise, 1,585 nautical miles of range, APF-friendly runway performance without qualification.
Daher-Socata produced the TBM 850 from 2006 through 2013 as the fleet-refresh of the earlier TBM 700. Outer dimensions and cabin match the 700; the change under the cowl is a PT6A-66D flat-rated to 850 shaft horsepower with a torque limiter. Five to six seats, 30 cubic feet of internal baggage, 31,000-foot ceiling.

Why the Socata TBM 850 Fits Naples
For a Naples couple flying to Nashville (BNA), Atlanta (PDK), or Charlotte (CLT) for a member-guest tournament, the 850 does the leg roughly 20 minutes faster than a TBM 700 while burning similar fuel per hour. That is real money over a season.
1,585 nautical miles of range covers HPN, TEB, BED, and PWK to APF nonstop for a couple with bags; a full-cabin family run tightens the numbers. Southbound to Nassau (MYNN), Great Exuma (MYEF), or Turks and Caicos (MBPV), the 850 is inside the book on a normal day.
The TBM 850 is a popular owner-flown airframe. If a Naples client asks about charter and about buying, loop in the acquisition team early; ownership pencils out for 200 to 300 annual hours.

- 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.
