Michale Belisle Named Magellan Jets Brand Ambassador
Sarasota, Fla. – Jan. 8, 2025 – Magellan Jets, a leading private aviation company, is expanding its reach in the sports world by appointing longtime equestrian executive Michale “Mike” Belisle as its new Brand Ambassador.
Belisle will develop and host exclusive equestrian experiences for Magellan Jets’ Private Clients and produce tailored content for the brand. He will also appear in marketing campaigns targeting the equestrian market.
The partnership is grounded in authenticity, as Belisle has long been familiar with Magellan Jets’ history of flying equestrian VIPs to events across the globe.
Magellan Jets’ entry into the equestrian sector aligns with the demographics of its high-net-worth clientele. The equestrian industry, valued at $177 billion by the American Horse Council, includes horse racing, show jumping, rodeo and Western performance sports—sectors that are experiencing growth in attendance, sponsorships, media coverage and consumer interest.
“There is no better partner than Magellan Jets when it comes to flying privately,” said Belisle. “It satisfies its loyal Private Clients at every turn, and that’s execution those in the equestrian world especially appreciate when traveling to events as spectators or competitors.”
“A growing number of our Private Clients are horse owners, riders and equestrian enthusiasts,” said Magellan Jets Founder and CEO Joshua Marc Hebert. “Mike’s expertise and passion for the equestrian world perfectly complement the personalization and dedication we offer to our clients.”
Belisle brings over three decades of experience in the equestrian industry. He has founded, managed and consulted many of the sport’s top events and venues. Most recently, he consulted on the development of TerraNova Equestrian Center, a premier multi-discipline venue. He served as operations manager for the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida—the largest and longest-running equestrian event in the world—and the Rolex Central Park Horse Show. His extensive resume includes leadership roles with the Split Rock Jumping Tour, Ox Ridge Charity Horse Show, Silver Oak Jumper Tournament, Angelstone Tournaments and Fidelity Jumper Classic.
This announcement follows Magellan Jets’ continued growth in the sports market. Most recently, the company was named the “Official Private Aviation Provider” for 4Aces Golf Club, captained by two-time major champion Dustin Johnson on the LIV Golf League.
Magellan Jets serves professional and recreational golfers alike, with Jet Card holders and charter clients frequently traveling to iconic destinations such as Bandon Dunes, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Whistling Straits.
