The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Green Turtle Cay
Green Turtle Cay is three miles of beach and pale water off the top end of Great Abaco. New Plymouth, a Loyalist village of clapboard houses and narrow lanes, holds the south of it, Coco Bay the north, and no part of it carries either a runway or a rental car. So the aircraft puts down on the mainland, at Treasure Cay, five minutes from the government dock, and the ferry across the Sea of Abaco finishes the journey. Both halves are booked before you leave Florida.
What a jet decides is the half of the day that happens before that ferry. The boat runs in daylight rather than around your booking, so an aircraft that slips loses you the afternoon it was supposed to buy. About 190 statute miles of open water lie in between, a little over 165 nautical, and from the middle of the day the Stream stacks cloud along that line. A jet goes over the top of it, which is why the hour on the dock is the hour that was agreed.
Everything between Miami and the sand is ours: the departure airport, the aircraft and the crew, the short road leg at Treasure Cay, the boat across, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas asks for. Your party brings passports and a bag. A cart on the far side and a boat for the reef are ordered with the flight, so what is left to settle is the hour, the cabin and what is served on board. Treasure Cay keeps its own border desk, so the clearance happens on the field the aircraft parks on and the water leg afterwards is domestic. This cay is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter, and each is a different day.

How It Works
How a Private Jet Green Turtle Cay from Miami Flight Actually Works
Speed is the obvious reason to charter a jet east, and it is not the one that matters most here. A ferry closes this route at the far end. What the aircraft buys is the certainty of reaching it: over the weather rather than waiting on it, onto a cay of carts and footpaths, and home with the evening still there. What follows is the sequence in order, from the hour you name to the asphalt on Great Abaco, the water leg north and the borders.
Plan Your Green Turtle Cay CharterDistance and Flight Level
One Hundred and Ninety Miles of It Is Water
The cay lies about 190 statute miles east of the city, a little over 165 nautical, and every one of them is over water. From the middle of the day the Stream builds cloud along that line, which is what puts the rest of the ramp on the ground. A jet climbs through the layer and holds one altitude, so the weather turns into something underneath you rather than something to wait out.
The Whole Aircraft
Your Party on the Manifest and Nobody Else
The cabin is yours for the day and it leaves on the hour you name instead of one a timetable picked. Seating, luggage and what is poured on board are agreed at the enquiry rather than discovered at the ramp. A slow start to the morning moves the departure; it does not cost you the aircraft or the boat waiting at the other end.
The Runway and the Last Leg
Treasure Cay's Asphalt, Then Fifteen Minutes of Water
No jet lands on Green Turtle Cay, so the aircraft uses Treasure Cay Airport on Great Abaco, identifiers TCB and MYAT, 7,001 feet of asphalt and a border desk of its own. That is the closest paved runway to the cay and the one that sits nearest the water: five minutes of road from the apron to the government dock, then about a quarter of an hour of ferry across the Sea of Abaco to New Plymouth.
Both Borders
One Desk at the Field You Land On
Because the field the aircraft parks on is itself a port of entry, the clearance and the flight happen in one place, and the ferry afterwards counts as domestic travel. Passport details are taken once, at the enquiry, and the travel documents are filed from our side for both directions.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, a Cart and a Boat for the Reef
A chef, a cake for an anniversary, a table held in New Plymouth for the afternoon: what the day needs is ordered with the aircraft rather than chased once you are ashore. The same goes for the cart that covers the cay and the boat out to Manjack or No Name. Tell us what the day is for and it is built around the flight.
How Long the Day Runs
An Afternoon at Coco Bay or a Week Ashore
An hour of flying buys a whole afternoon, so turtles at Coco Bay and dinner back in Florida is one shape of the trip. A house on the cay for a week is the other, with the rest of the Abacos within reach of the same dock. The aircraft stays yours for as long as the itinerary runs.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet to Miami from Green Turtle Cay
Miami has no single business airport, it has four and the right one is the one closest to where your day starts. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
The executive airport north west of the city and the usual Miami departure for a private jet, with private terminal handling on both ends. It is also where a return from the islands clears US customs.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
The right one when the party is already at MIA, arriving on a commercial flight or connecting to one and the onward leg should leave from the same airport instead of crossing the city first. Arranged per flight rather than held, so it is confirmed with the operator before it is quoted.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami, in the south west of the county and the shortest ground leg for Coral Gables, Pinecrest and the south of Miami-Dade. A general aviation field, so the walk from the car to the aircraft is short.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, thirty miles up the coast and the field a Broward or north Miami departure is quoted from. Its federal inspection station is where a US return from the islands is cleared when the day begins and ends in Broward.

Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
There is no terminal queue waiting for you. Be there half an hour ahead, walk out to the aircraft, and the day begins as you climb away over the bay.
On the Cay
Where a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Green Turtle Cay Puts You Down
Green Turtle Cay is about three miles long and never wide, a strip of beach, shallow water and one small settlement off the top of Great Abaco. Everything on it is within a cart ride of the water, and the cays either side are minutes away by boat rather than by road. The jet lands at Treasure Cay on the mainland and the ferry brings you the rest of the way.
Below is what parties actually do with the hours in between, in the order they ask for it. Because the ferry sets the frame at both ends of the day, the landing time decides how much of this list a single afternoon holds.
Plan Your Green Turtle Cay CharterThe Green Turtles at Coco Bay
Most Asked For
The cay carries the name of the turtles and they are the first thing parties ask about. They feed in the shallow, grassy water of the bay on the north side, in close enough that you get in with a mask rather than watch them over the side of a boat. A green turtle out here runs to around four feet and three hundred pounds or more, unbothered by swimmers, and the water it feeds in is clear and shoulder deep. Bring fins rather than a camera. The bay goes well with a beach picnic or a dock pickup if a boat is collecting the party afterwards.
The Pigs on No Name Cay
A Short Boat Ride
The swimming pigs people associate with the Bahamas live on the next cay along rather than on Green Turtle Cay itself. No Name Cay sits about two and a half miles off, and for a good number of families it is the reason this corner of the Abacos is on the list at all. It is a boat ride rather than a second flight, so it fits inside a day you are already having. Say at the enquiry whether the party wants it and the boat and the hour are fixed with everything else, and add water toys if the afternoon is going to stay on the water.
Manjack Cay: Rays and Nurse Sharks
Minutes North
Manjack Cay lies roughly four miles north, undeveloped and privately owned, with beaches along its northern tip and clear water on both sides of it. It is the address for the shallow water animals: stingrays, nurse sharks and lemon sharks in water clear enough to see the bottom, usually calm enough to stand in and gentle enough that children get in as well. That combination is rarer than it sounds, which is why the cay comes up in nearly every conversation about what to do with a boat here.
Nothing about it depends on the month, so it holds up whatever date the party has already fixed. What it needs is a boat and an hour, and both are arranged with the flight rather than at the dock.
New Plymouth and the Loyalist Story
On Foot
The settlement at the south end is a small colonial village of clapboard houses and narrow lanes, walkable end to end, and it is where the ferry from Great Abaco ties up. There are no rental cars here: guests move by golf cart, by bicycle or on foot, and the lanes would not take anything wider.
It was settled in the seventeen eighties by British Loyalists who left the United States after the American Revolutionary War, together with the people they brought with them, many of African descent. That mix is the culture the cay still runs on, and it is why the annual heritage festival here is twinned with Key West rather than with anywhere in the Bahamas. The village as a whole sits on the Green Turtle Cay destination page. A cart at the head of the dock when the ferry comes in is ground transport, booked with the flight. A table held for the afternoon is arranged the same way, and anything outside the usual list goes to custom requests.
The Beaches and the Snorkelling
Straight Off the Sand
The beaches are the everyday answer and the reason a short stay works here at all: white sand, shallow turquoise water and, on most of them, almost nobody. The ocean side and the harbour side are a few minutes apart, so the wind decides which one the afternoon happens on rather than the map. The snorkelling starts off the sand rather than an hour offshore, and there are dive operations on the cay for anyone who wants tanks instead of a mask. Say how many are swimming when you send the date, and say whether anyone is diving: a dive boat and a snorkel boat are not always the same boat.
Treasure Cay Beach, Across the Water
Where the Jet Lands
The mainland across the Sea of Abaco is not only where the runway is. Treasure Cay carries more than three miles of fine white sand against turquoise water, and the beach sits minutes from the apron the aircraft parks on. That matters at both ends of the day. An early landing can start on that beach before the ferry, and a late departure can finish there instead of in a waiting room. Say it when you send the date, because it changes the hours rather than the routing.
The Reef and the Blue Holes
Under the Water
A barrier reef runs the length of the Abacos, which is the reason divers come to this chain rather than to the busier islands further south. Under Great Abaco and the cays there are blue holes and cave systems as well, and that is a different day again. Where the day is about fish rather than reef, the flats behind the cays hold bonefish and the water in between is shallow and clear almost everywhere. Rods and gear travel with you, within the payload the baggage guidance sets out for the aircraft on the day.
Onward Through the Abacos
Same Aircraft
A private jet charter from Miami to Green Turtle Cay also works as the first leg of something longer. The chain carries on south from Treasure Cay: Great Guana Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Elbow Cay with its harbour village, and Marsh Harbour as the working end of it, with the whole group set out on the Abacos page. The aircraft does not stop at the Abacos either. It reaches Grand Bahama, Nassau, Harbour Island or down to Staniel Cay and the Exumas. That is how one cay becomes island hopping or a wider Bahamas day, with the chain laid out on the Bahamas destinations page.
Since the border was cleared on the way in at Treasure Cay, a second stop the same afternoon is simply another flight. What it spends is daylight, so flag it with the date. Pre-arranged, that trip is the Abacos getaway, a morning in the air alone is a scenic flight, and freight beyond luggage runs as island logistics.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to Green Turtle Cay: Above the Cloud Line, Treasure Cay's Asphalt and the Water After It
Everything above is the day itself. What follows is the reasoning behind it: what the Stream does to an afternoon and why this aircraft ignores it, how late a departure can still be moved, who deals with the border on Great Abaco, and what a date worth marking looks like on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet Green Turtle Cay from Miami: Flying High and Fast Above the Weather
Above the weather on a private jet from Miami to Green Turtle Cay
One hundred and ninety statute miles of open water stand between the city and this cay, and the way you cover them decides what is left of the afternoon. The Stream makes its own weather along that line, usually from late morning: cloud first, then squalls that settle in for hours. Anything crossing underneath waits for a gap or turns back, and the day goes with it. A jet is not part of that argument, because it climbs through the layer and stays on top of it. Here that buys something particular. There is no strip on Green Turtle Cay, so the wheels touch down on Great Abaco and a ferry covers the rest. That boat runs to daylight rather than to your booking, so every hour the crossing does not eat is an hour still available on the far side of it. The cabin belongs to your party alone on jets in the fleet of this size, and the other private jet routes from Miami work the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from Green Turtle Cay: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Green Turtle Cay
A charter puts no timetable in front of you. The day begins with an hour you pick yourself. Three things are yours to set: when the wheels leave Florida, when you want to be standing on the dock at New Plymouth, and which field around the city suits your morning. Changing any of them the week before is a message rather than a rebooking. Where the drive north is shorter, the identical day leaves out of Fort Lauderdale. Half an hour before the wheels is the whole of check-in. You walk from the car to the steps, bags go aboard where you can watch them, and the list carries your names and no others. The hour counts for more here than on a route that ends at the runway, because a boat follows the flight. Land at Treasure Cay with the afternoon ahead of you and the rest of the day looks after itself. Coming home runs the same way: moving the return is a message and not a rebooking, which is what lets an afternoon at Coco Bay finish when it is actually finished.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Green Turtle Cay: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Green Turtle Cay crossing
A day out here means leaving one country and entering another, then doing the same in reverse. Unfiled, that is where the hours disappear. Three filings cover the whole of it: out of Florida, in at a port of entry, home again. The crew makes all three. What helps on this route is that the field the aircraft lands on is a port of entry in its own right, so the formalities sit in the same stop as the flight and the water leg afterwards is domestic. Green Turtle Cay keeps no counter of its own, and that is the real reason the route runs over Great Abaco. Passports for everybody, children included, per the travel documents guidance, and what may travel sits in the baggage guidance. Where you clear on the way home comes with the quote, and a day that slips runs under the weather and delays policy. If the party changes, the crew refiles: a name added or dropped is a message.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to Green Turtle Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Green Turtle Cay
A private jet from Miami to Green Turtle Cay gets booked for days that have to happen: a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary, a long weekend with people who rarely have the same week free. A Loyalist village of clapboard houses and lanes too narrow for cars is a rare thing to reach inside a morning. Some fly over for the day and sleep in Florida that night. Others take a house on the cay for a week and name the return later, or call at another Abaco cay on the way home. It is one charter either way, and the whole group sits on a single booking. Where there is something to celebrate, say so at the enquiry: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers travel with you. A date that has to look like something is also a date that cannot afford to move, and on a cay you reach by ferry that certainty is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Green Turtle Cay is bought for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Green Turtle Cay: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Green Turtle Cay?
About 190 statute miles separate the city from Great Abaco, a little over 165 nautical, and a jet covers that quickly. The block time goes in the quote rather than on a web page, because it follows from the aircraft and from the field you leave. What shapes the trip is how little of the day the flying takes, which is what leaves the afternoon on the cay open.
Can a private jet land on Green Turtle Cay?
No. Three miles of beach, one settlement and a network of cart tracks, with no paved strip anywhere on it. The aircraft therefore stops at Treasure Cay on Great Abaco, and a short road leg and the ferry finish the journey. You book one thing rather than three, and all of it is arranged before you leave Florida.
How do we get from Treasure Cay to the cay itself?
Five minutes by road from the apron to the government dock, then roughly a quarter of an hour of ferry across the Sea of Abaco to New Plymouth. Treasure Cay is the paved runway closest to that dock, which is why the route uses it rather than a field further down the chain.
Why take a jet if it cannot land there anyway?
Because the 190 miles in front of the dock are the part that goes wrong. Weather over the Stream gathers through the afternoon, and on a leg of this length that is what turns a Saturday into a Sunday. A jet holds one altitude on top of it and the question never comes up. Treasure Cay adds the rest: 7,001 feet of asphalt takes wind that shuts a short strip, and the border desk is already there. Since the ferry keeps its own hours, certainty about reaching it is what you are actually buying.
What is there to do once we are on Green Turtle Cay?
Green turtles gather in the shallows at Coco Bay on the north side, close enough in to snorkel alongside. New Plymouth is a Loyalist village you can walk end to end. No Name Cay with its pigs and Manjack Cay with its rays and nurse sharks are both a short boat ride off. Tell us which of those the day is built around and the cart or the boat is waiting when the ferry ties up.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has no single business airport, it has several, and the right one is the shortest ground leg from where your morning starts. The executive field north west of the city is the usual departure and is also where a return from the islands clears US customs. Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach are possible too and have their own pages. Tell us where your party is staying and the airport is picked around that rather than the other way round.
Can we choose our own departure time?
Within daylight and the crew's duty limits, the hour is yours. It matters more on this route than on most, because a ferry follows the flight and the ferry keeps its own hours. The time is set at booking and stays movable after it, since the aircraft carries nobody else and has nowhere else to be. Whenever the wheels touch down, the car to the dock is standing there.
Is anyone else on the jet?
Never. You name the passengers and that is the entire manifest. Nobody is allocated a seat, nobody unknown sits across from you, and nothing pushes back because a stranger happened to be on time. A name added or dropped close to the day is a refiling at our end and one message at yours.
Do I need a passport for Green Turtle Cay?
Everyone needs one, children included. The Bahamas is another country whatever you arrive in. We collect the details once when you enquire and file both directions before departure. Since the clearance happens on landing at Treasure Cay, the ferry across counts as domestic travel. The travel documents page sets out what each passenger provides and by when.
Can we do it as a day trip?
Often, yes, and the ferry is what decides it. The flying is short and the water leg is a quarter of an hour, so an early departure leaves a full afternoon on the cay. Because the return hour stays open while you are still there, you are not counting backwards from a last scheduled seat. Parties who would rather not watch the clock take a house on the cay and fly home on a day of their choosing.
What if the weather turns on the day?
It interferes less here than with anything else that flies this water, which is the argument for the aircraft. The jet works above the layer that keeps others down, and Treasure Cay's runway handles conditions a short strip cannot. If a day does have to shift you hear it as soon as we do, and since the aircraft was held for your party it is a conversation rather than a scramble for a seat. The ferry is the weather-sensitive link out here, so on a rough afternoon that is what moves, not the flight.
Are there cars on Green Turtle Cay?
None to rent, and for most visitors that is the appeal. Golf carts, bicycles and footpaths cover the cay, and the lanes in New Plymouth would not take anything wider. We arrange the cart alongside the flight so it is at the head of the dock when the ferry ties up, and a boat for the afternoon too if Manjack or the reef is the plan.
How do we start?
Send the date, the headcount, the field that suits your morning and the hour you have in mind. Say as well whether the day is built around Coco Bay, the village or a boat to the neighbouring cays, since that decides what is waiting at the dock. Back comes the availability, the price, the boarding time and the full list of what is included. Nothing is held until you confirm.
Can I bring a pet on a private jet charter?
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.
