The Route
Charter Flights from Miami to Kamalame Cay
Kamalame Cay is a private island of about 96 acres off the northeast coast of Andros, some 137 nautical miles of open water from Miami. There is no runway on the cay, so the aircraft decides how the last part of the day looks. The choice is not whether you can get there, it is which way suits your party, your bags and the hour you want to arrive. A family with bags, a couple on a long weekend and friends heading out to the reef will not pick the same one, and that is fine.
Charter flights from Miami to Kamalame Cay are private: the whole aircraft is yours and nobody else is on board. You name the hour, we set the aircraft, the crew and the field it leaves from, and both border filings are ours. Your party brings passports and a bag, per the travel documents guidance.
Four aircraft fly this route and each has its own page: a seaplane to the beach, a small plane to Andros Town, a helicopter that skips the boat and a private jet. The choice right below this block shows you the difference in one look, and if you are still unsure, ask us: we quote them side by side for your date.

How It Works
How Private Charter Flights from Miami to Kamalame Cay Work
Private charter flights from Miami follow the same six steps, whatever the aircraft. Here is what every one of them includes, from the first message to the moment you are on the island.
Plan Your Kamalame Cay CharterDistance and Aircraft
137 Nautical Miles and Four Ways to Fly Them
Miami to Kamalame Cay is about 137 nautical miles, roughly 158 statute, and almost all of it is open water. How long it takes in the air depends on the aircraft: the seaplane is about an hour, the others come back with the quote. Either way the flight is the short part of the day.
The Whole Aircraft
One Party on Board and No Seats Sold
Every flight on this page is a charter, so the cabin is yours and the departure time is the one you give us. That is the difference to a scheduled seat, and it holds for all four aircraft. A larger party simply flies a larger aircraft or a second one, and the party still travels on one booking.
Where Each One Lands
Water by the Beach, a Runway on Andros
A seaplane settles on the water off the beach of the cay, a walk from the resort. A small plane and a jet land on the runway at Andros Town, then it is about twenty minutes of road to the dock at Staniard Creek and a boat across the channel. Where the helicopter sets down is agreed with the operator and the property before the day.
Both Borders
Passports, the Manifest and Both Borders Filed for You
The cay is not a port of entry, so the border is crossed on Andros: the runway aircraft clear where they land at Andros Town, the others clear there first and fly the last minutes up the coast. Passengers carry a passport, children included, the rest is ours, per the travel documents guidance.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, Transfers and Occasions Set Up With the Flight
Whatever the day is for is organised before you leave: catering on board, a car at Andros Town or a golf cart on the cay, flowers for a birthday. A proposal or an anniversary is planned into the flight as a custom experience rather than around it.
How Long the Day Runs
Same-Day Return or Several Nights on Kamalame Cay
At about an hour out the cay works as a day, and the aircraft waits while you are there. Most guests stay a few nights at the resort, which is the same booking with a later return. Weather and delays is the only thing that moves the plan.
Departure Points
Departure Points for Private Flights to Kamalame Cay from Miami
Where your flight leaves from follows the aircraft you pick and where your party is staying. These are the four fields we use around Miami for a flight to the islands. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami, a general aviation field in the south west of the county, and the easy start for a small plane or a helicopter. Parking sits close to the ramp, so the walk to the aircraft is short. Pick it when your party is staying south or west of downtown.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
Opa-locka Executive in the north west, with private terminal handling for every aircraft on this page. Most flights to the islands are dispatched from here, and a return from the Bahamas can clear US customs in the same place. If nothing else decides it, this is where the day begins.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
Miami International as a pickup, for a party arriving on an airline that wants to go straight on to the island. Set up flight by flight and confirmed with the operator before the quote. Allow extra ground time, because a big commercial airport keeps its own pace.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, for a party staying in Broward or further north. It has its own federal inspection station, so a return from the islands can clear there too. The aircraft comes to you rather than you driving south to it.
How to Book

Booking a flight takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Kamalame Cay Charter- 01
Contact Us
Write to us on WhatsApp or by email. Send your dates, how many guests, where you are coming from and which aircraft you have in mind, or tell us you are not sure yet. Tell us the hour you would like to leave and whether you come back the same day. That is all we need to start.
- 02
Get the Options Back
We check what is free on your date and send the aircraft that fit your party, side by side: seats, bags, time in the air and the price of each. That is usually where the choice between water and runway makes itself: calm water and a room on the cay point one way, a load of gear or a windy forecast the other.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You pick the aircraft, and we fix the departure point and the landing site. Then everything around the flight: catering on board, a car at Andros Town or ground transport to the dock, flowers if the day is a special one. You approve it, you pay, and the boarding time comes back to you.
- 04
Be There 30 Minutes Before
There is no terminal queue on a charter. Arrive half an hour before the time we sent, walk to the aircraft with your bags and take off.
On the Island
Where Charter Flights Miami to Kamalame Cay Put You Down
Where your flight puts you down for Kamalame Cay depends on the aircraft. Floats end on the water off the beach of the cay, wheels end on the runway at Andros Town, and from there a car and a short boat close the gap. Below is what waits at each end, and what a few days out there can look like.
Plan Your Kamalame Cay CharterAndros Town for Runway Aircraft
Wheels Down
The small plane and the jet arrive at Andros Town at Fresh Creek, on the east coast of Andros, with 4,058 feet of asphalt and customs and immigration on the same field. Because the airport is a port of entry, the formalities happen where you step out, usually in minutes, since the crew filed everything before departure. The desk keeps hours of its own, so a morning flight is the easier one. Tell us at the enquiry if anyone travels on a passport other than a United States one. From the apron a car is waiting if you booked ground transport, and the aircraft stays parked there for your return. On the way home that means the same apron and no check-in at all.
The Beach on the Cay for the Seaplane
On the Water
A seaplane skips the road and the boat altogether. It clears first at Andros Town, flies the last minutes up the coast and lands on the water off the beach of the cay, a walk from the resort. The cay is about a mile and a half of beach with the resort along it, so the water arrival puts you straight onto it. It is the shortest way from Miami to a chair on that beach, and the details are on the seaplane from Miami to Kamalame Cay page. The trade is the water. A seaplane needs a calm enough surface to land, so on a rough winter morning the runway is the safer plan, and we tell you that before you book rather than on the day.
The Road to Staniard Creek and the Boat
The Last Leg
If you land on the runway, the cay is still across the water. About twenty minutes of road north from Andros Town brings you to the dock at Staniard Creek, and a short boat crosses the channel to the cay. The boat ride is short and most guests hardly notice it, and in return the runway works on mornings when the water is too rough for floats. A helicopter skips this leg entirely. We quote all of them so you can weigh them. A car can wait at the apron and the boat at the dock, so the whole hop from the aircraft to the cay is arranged before you land, bags included.
Kamalame Cay and Staniard Creek
Where the Resort Is
Kamalame Cay is a private island of about 96 acres, a mile and a half of beach with the resort strung along it. Staniard Creek is the settlement across the channel, and Fresh Creek with Andros Town is about twenty minutes south by road. Everything on the cay is a walk or a cart ride apart. What there is to do around Andros is covered on the flights from Miami to Andros page. If you want a table waiting when you land, add a fly and dine day, and anything unusual goes to custom requests. For a day trip, the beach and lunch fit between the morning flight and the evening one. Longer stays sleep on the cay itself, which is why a seaplane landing right off the beach appeals to them.
Flying Over the Reef
Seen From Above
The last minutes from Miami are the best part of the flight. The deep blue breaks into turquoise over the banks, and from a low flying aircraft you see the reef, the sandbars and the flats along the east coast of Andros clearly on a sunny morning. The Andros barrier reef runs for about 190 miles, the third longest in the world, and just behind it the Tongue of the Ocean drops to around 6,000 feet. It is one of the reasons people ask for scenic flights on the approach. Ask the crew to come in low over the reef if the day allows, and have a camera ready on the side facing the sea.
Blue Holes and Bonefish Flats
What Andros Is Known For
Andros is the largest island of the Bahamas and has more blue holes than anywhere else, over 180 of them. From the air the inland ones read as dark circles in the green. It is also known as the bonefishing capital of the world, so the flats are never far from the cay. A flats fishing day or a beach picnic on a sandbar fits into the same stay. The reef lies about a mile off the cay, a short boat ride out, and the deep water of the Tongue of the Ocean begins just beyond it, so a day on the water starts close to the beach.
Bags, Gear and Payload by Aircraft
What Each One Carries
What you can bring is a question of weight, and every aircraft answers it differently. Floats carry less than wheels, a helicopter less again, and a jet the most. Fly rods, dive gear, golf clubs, a cooler for the boat: tell us at the enquiry and the right aircraft comes back with the quote. The baggage guidance explains the trade between passengers and weight. Anything bigger than luggage travels as island logistics instead. The simple rule: the more you carry, the more the runway aircraft make sense, and the lighter you travel, the more the water landing off the beach becomes the easy choice.
Onward Through the Bahamas From Andros
Domestic After Andros
Kamalame Cay also works as one stop of a longer trip. Once you have cleared in on Andros, every leg after it stays inside the Bahamas. The same charter can carry on to Nassau, Harbour Island, Grand Bahama or Staniel Cay and the Exumas. That is how one island becomes island hopping or a Bahamas day. The ready-made version of a single day is the Kamalame Cay getaway day trip, and the rest of the islands are on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Flights from Miami to Kamalame Cay: What to Know Before You Fly
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind flights from Miami to Kamalame Cay: what the crossing looks like, who sets the hour, who files the border and what people fly over to mark. Other flights to the Bahamas work the same way, only nearer or further.
Miami to Kamalame Cay Charter Flights: Four Ways Over the Gulf Stream
The same 137 miles of water seen from four different aircraft
The crossing is not dead time between two airports, whichever aircraft you take. Leaving the coast, the water turns from harbour green to the deep blue of the Gulf Stream, and the banks beyond come up turquoise. How you see it depends on the aircraft. A seaplane and a helicopter stay low enough to read the water, and the helicopter has glass on every side. A small plane gives everybody a window. A private jet climbs higher and turns the crossing into a short hop. Off Andros the barrier reef runs for about 190 miles, and behind it the Tongue of the Ocean drops to around 6,000 feet. That is why charter flights to Kamalame Cay from Miami double as scenic flights for anybody sitting by a window. The flats and the blue holes inland are just as clear. Nobody on board has to lean over a stranger to see it, because the whole cabin belongs to your party. An afternoon return shows the same water in a lower light, so the way home is a second view, not a repeat.
Private Flights to Kamalame Cay from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a charter flight to Kamalame Cay
Private flights to Kamalame Cay from Miami have no timetable. The day is built around the hour you name, not around a departure board. You pick the hour you want to lift off, the hour you want to be on the island and the one you want to be home, and the whole plan is built backwards from those three times. The aircraft is held for your party, so a change a few days before is a message to us. Half an hour before departure is the whole check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, the bags go on in front of you and the only names on the list are yours. The same freedom holds on the way back. If lunch runs long or the water is too good to leave, the aircraft waits, and the hour home moves with you instead of a gate closing on you. Water landings run from thirty minutes after sunrise to thirty minutes before sunset, so a seaplane day is planned inside daylight, and the runway aircraft fit around the hours of the desk on Andros. A morning departure puts you on the beach before the heat builds, and a long weekend is the same plan with a later return. Every hour in between belongs to your party and to nobody else.
Miami to Kamalame Cay Flights: The Crew Handles Both Borders
Passports are all your party carries on a Kamalame Cay crossing
Miami to Kamalame Cay flights cross an international border twice, and that is the part that goes wrong when nobody prepares it. The Bahamas asks for a declaration filed from Florida, clearance at a port of entry on arrival and a US return filed before you head home. The cay is not a port of entry, so every aircraft clears on Andros first. The crew files all of it. Your party carries a valid passport and nothing else, children included, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel is in the baggage guidance. A name added or dropped before the day is a message to us, and a departure moved by weather runs under the weather and delays policy. Coming home works the same way in reverse. The return is filed before you leave the island, and the aircraft lands where the United States can clear you, which is part of the plan we send with the quote. None of this is paperwork your party fills in at a counter. The passport list is all we need from you, and we send it on with the filings before the day, so nothing waits for you at the desk. If a detail changes on the day, the crew updates the filing.
Charter Flights Miami to Kamalame Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Kamalame Cay
Most people who fly over mark something. Charter flights Miami to Kamalame Cay are booked for a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary or a weekend away with the people who matter, and the flight is short enough that the occasion stays the point of the day. Some parties fly over for the day and are home for dinner, others stay a few nights and book the return for the day they want. The whole party travels together on one booking. If there is something to celebrate, say so when you book: catering, a private chef and flowers travel with you, set up before you board. The date comes first and the aircraft is planned around it, so a dinner booking or a boat leaving at a set hour decides when you fly, not the other way round. Tell us the occasion and the number of guests with your date, and the quote comes back with the aircraft, the hours and whatever you asked to have on board, ready for you to confirm with one reply.
Questions
Charter Flights to Kamalame Cay from Miami: Questions Answered
How long is the flight from Miami to Kamalame Cay?
Kamalame Cay is about 137 nautical miles from Miami, off the northeast coast of Andros. A seaplane covers it in about an hour in the air. For a small plane, a helicopter or a jet the time depends on the aircraft and the field you leave from, and it comes back with the quote.
What really sets the length of the day is the border, the last leg to the cay and how long you stay. Most parties spend far longer on the island than in the air.
What is the best way to get to Kamalame Cay?
It depends on how you want to arrive and what you carry. A seaplane puts you on the water off the beach of the cay, with no road and no boat.
A small plane or a jet lands on the runway at Andros Town and handles more weight and rougher water, then a car and a short boat take you across. A helicopter skips the boat. We quote the options side by side so you can compare.
Do I need a passport to fly to Kamalame Cay?
Yes, every passenger needs one, children included. The Bahamas is another country, and a private aircraft does not change that. We take the passport details once when you enquire and file the manifest for both sides before departure. The travel documents page lists what each passenger sends and by when, including the cases that need more notice. Nothing else has to be printed or carried.
Can a plane land on Kamalame Cay?
Not on wheels, the cay has no runway. A small plane or a jet lands at Andros Town, a paved strip of 4,058 feet with customs and immigration on the field, and from there it is about twenty minutes of road to Staniard Creek and a boat across the channel.
A seaplane lands on the water by the beach instead, after clearing at Andros Town. Which of the two suits your day is the first thing we answer when you send your dates and your party size.
Where does the flight land for Kamalame Cay?
That depends on the aircraft. Runway aircraft land at Andros Town on the east coast of Andros, and the dock at Staniard Creek is about twenty minutes north by road, with the cay a short boat ride across the channel. A seaplane lands off the beach of the cay itself, so there is no road and no boat at all. The border is cleared on Andros either way.
Can you take a day trip to Kamalame Cay?
Yes. At about an hour out the cay works as a day, and on a charter the aircraft waits for you, so the return is set by you and not by a timetable. Out in the morning, back in the evening, with both borders handled.
Most guests stay a few nights at the resort, though, and then the return is planned for the day you choose. Tell us which it is when you enquire and the plan is built around it.
How much baggage can we take?
It is a question of weight, not of the number of bags, and it differs by aircraft. Floats carry less than wheels, and a jet carries the most. Say what is coming when you enquire, including fly rods, dive gear, golf clubs and anything with a battery, and the answer comes back with the quote rather than at the aircraft.
Fishing gear and dive bags are common on Andros, so they are rarely a problem once we know about them. If the load decides it, the aircraft is chosen around what you bring, not the other way round.
What is there to do around Kamalame Cay?
The water is the reason most people come. The Andros barrier reef, the third longest in the world, runs along the east coast, the Tongue of the Ocean drops away right behind it, and Andros has more blue holes than anywhere else, over 180 of them.
It is also known as the bonefishing capital of the world, so the flats are a short boat ride away. On a charter you can see much of it from the window on the way in.
Can we fly on to another island from Kamalame Cay afterwards?
Yes. Once you have cleared into the Bahamas on Andros, every leg after it is domestic. The aircraft can carry on to Nassau, Eleuthera or the Exumas, as long as the next island has a place for it to land.
Tell us the shape of the whole trip when you enquire and it is quoted as one booking. Where the next island only has water to land on, that leg switches to a seaplane.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
Every aircraft handles weather differently. A seaplane needs calm enough water to land, a small plane and a jet use the runway and a jet can climb above much of it.
If conditions are below what is safe, the crew moves or cancels the flight and the weather and delays policy says what that means for your booking. That call is always the crew's, and a delay of an hour or two often solves it.
Is a charter cheaper than a scheduled flight?
No, and it is not meant to be. A scheduled seat is cheaper because someone else picked the time and you share the aircraft. A charter buys you the aircraft: your departure, your return, your party only.
On this route that usually means arriving at the cay instead of a connection and a long transfer, and no waiting in a terminal on either side of the water, which is the comparison worth making.
We send the price for the whole aircraft, so you can split it across your party and compare fairly. Tell us what matters most, the time on the island, the landing point or the budget, and we suggest the aircraft that fits it best.
Can I bring a pet on a charter flight?
Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
