How MARQUIS is Elevating Family Office Travel Through Exclusive Private Aviation
Ric Davis, CEO and founder of MARQUIS, is transforming how ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices approach luxury travel. With over 17 years in private aviation and a vision that extends far beyond traditional charter services, Davis launched MARQUIS to deliver seamless, personalized travel experiences that match the sophistication of today’s most discerning clients.
Exclusive Partnership with SFOG Community
For the first time in MARQUIS history, we’re opening our doors beyond our traditional referral-only model. As the exclusive aviation partner of Spotlight Family Office Group, we’re extending an unprecedented invitation to a select group of family offices within the SFOG community—granting access to the same premium private aviation and white- glove concierge services that have served royalty and distinguished clients for nearly a decade.
This isn’t just another travel service announcement. This is your exclusive gateway into a world where every journey becomes an experience, every destination a curated adventure, and every flight a testament to uncompromising luxury. Join us for an exclusive webinar on September 9th at 2:00 PM ET—available only to SFOG members and their invited guests—where we’ll reveal how the most discerning families are redefining luxury travel.
The luxury travel landscape has transformed dramatically since 2016, with sophisticated family offices moving far beyond simple point-A-to-point-B transportation. They’re seeking something MARQUIS pioneered: the seamless integration of world-class private aviation with bespoke concierge services that anticipate needs before they’re expressed. At the heart of this evolution lies a simple truth—when your time is invaluable, your travel should be extraordinary.
Concierge Aviation: The New Standard
MARQUIS leverages a unique concierge model to deliver comprehensive travel solutions. Unlike traditional charter companies, MARQUIS facilitates direct relationships between clients and premium vendors—from Argus and Wyvern certified aircraft operators to luxury hotel partners like Aman Resorts, Six Senses, and Rosewood Hotels. This approach ensures transparency while providing access to wholesale pricing and exclusive experiences.
Serving the Family Office Community
Family offices represent a significant portion of MARQUIS’s clientele, with 40% of bookings coming from corporate entities managing substantial family wealth. These sophisticated clients require more than transportation—they need seamless coordination of complex itineraries, discretion, and the ability to accommodate last-minute changes that come with managing diverse family schedules and business obligations.
Membership Models Designed for Wealth Management
MARQUIS offers two distinct membership tiers specifically designed to meet the sophisticated travel requirements of family offices and their principals. The MARQUIS JETSETTER program serves as the foundation tier, requiring a $150,000 minimum deposit with an exclusive 7% management fee available only to SFOG members—a significant reduction from our standard 8-10% rate and well below typical industry fees of 12-15% or higher. This membership provides wholesale preferred pricing on all charter flights, refundable deposit funds with no expiration date, and access to a dedicated personal travel advisor available 24/7/365. Members gain exclusive access to our carefully vetted fleet of over 2,700 Argus and Wyvern certified US aircraft, all under 15 years old, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.
For the busy executive and family offices with higher travel frequency and more demanding requirements, MARQUIS EXECUTIVE ONE represents our premium tier, offering guaranteed aircraft availability with priority booking, preferred member pricing capped annual rates that provide cost predictability for sophisticated budget planning, and a 25-hour minimum annual commitment with convenient rollover benefits. With an average member annual spend of $300,000, EXECUTIVE ONE reflects both the caliber of service provided and the frequency of use by our most discerning clients.
Both tiers benefit from MARQUIS’s global reach, supported by dedicated offices in Los Angeles, New York, and West Palm Beach, ensuring seamless service delivery regardless of destination or time zone.
Global Reach Meets Local Expertise
With access to over 2,700 premium aircraft within the United States and an additional 3,000+ through out Europe—MARQUIS ensures family offices can maintain their travel standards worldwide. All preferred aircraft are under 15 years old with refreshed interiors, meeting the exacting standards expected by ultra-high-net-worth families.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The results speak to MARQUIS’s effectiveness in serving the family office community. With a 93% member retention rate and 60% of clients upgrading their membership tier within the first year, the company has demonstrated its ability to exceed expectations. The average booking value of $25,000 reflects the premium nature of services, while the ability to accommodate an average of 6 passengers per flight makes it ideal for family travel.
Technology Meets White-Glove Service
MARQUIS combines cutting-edge booking technology with traditional luxury service standards through our new mobile application, now available on iOS and Android. The app provides direct chat access to your dedicated personal advisor available 24/7/365, real-time flight booking capabilities, and exclusive access to member-only travel opportunities and preferred flight deals not available to the general public. Whether coordinating multi-generational family trips or facilitating urgent business travel for family office principals, this seamless integration of advanced technology and personalized human service delivers the discretion and efficiency that sophisticated family offices demand.
Strategic Partnerships Drive Value
The company’s 99% success rate in luxury hotel partnership negotiations demonstrates its ability to secure exclusive access and preferred rates for members. These relationships extend beyond accommodation to include private villa access, yacht charters, VIP event tickets, and bespoke experiences that align with family office lifestyle management needs.
Sustainability Meets Luxury
Through the Marquis Global Initiative, the company addresses the growing importance of sustainable travel practices among environmentally conscious ultra-high-net-worth families. By partnering with eco-friendly companies and providing transparent impact tracking, MARQUIS helps family offices align their travel choices with their values.
Conclusion
MARQUIS represents more than a travel service—it’s a comprehensive lifestyle management platform designed specifically for the unique needs of family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. As the luxury travel landscape continues to evolve, MARQUIS is leading the charge in redefining what personalized, premium travel means for the world’s most discerning families.
