The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Montage Cay
Montage Cay is a private island less than a mile off Marsh Harbour, with seven white sand beaches around a deep water marina. It has no runway, so the aircraft lands on Great Abaco. A short drive to the water and about ten minutes by boat finish the trip.
With a finish that short, the flight is almost the whole journey. Marsh Harbour lies 201 statute miles east of the city, a little under 175 nautical, and by early afternoon the Stream builds cloud along that line. A jet climbs through it and cruises above, so you step onto the cay at the agreed hour.
Everything from Miami to the sand is ours: the departure airport, the aircraft and the crew, the boat across, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas asks for. Marsh Harbour has its own border desk, so clearance happens on the field where the aircraft parks. This cay is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter, and each is a different day.

How a Private Jet Montage Cay from Miami Flight Actually Works
A Miami to Montage Cay jet charter involves more than the time in the air above the Gulf Stream. Here is what every flight includes, from your first message to the moment you step out at Montage Cay.
Plan Your Montage Cay CharterDistance and Flight Level
Cruising Above the Stream's Afternoon Build-Up
Marsh Harbour sits about 201 statute miles east of Miami, a little under 175 nautical, over the Gulf Stream and the open Atlantic. Heat off that water stacks cloud and squalls by early afternoon, which is what keeps lower aircraft waiting. A jet climbs through the layer and cruises above it, so the forecast shapes the route rather than the date.
The Whole Aircraft
Your Guests Alone and a Departure You Set
The aircraft carries the people you name and leaves at the hour you choose. Seats, luggage and what is served on board are agreed when you enquire, not at the steps. If breakfast runs long, the departure slides to match, and the rest of the day slides with it rather than disappearing.
The Runway It Needs
Great Abaco's Asphalt, Then Ten Minutes by Boat
No runway exists on the cay, so the aircraft lands at Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco, less than a mile across the water. Leonard M. Thompson International has 6,100 feet of asphalt and a border desk of its own. From the apron it is a short drive to the water and about ten minutes by boat to the marina on the cay.
Both Borders
Cleared on Landing, the Boat Ride Stays Domestic
The field the jet parks on is a port of entry, so clearance happens the moment you land and the short hop to the cay counts as local travel. Passport details are asked for once, with the enquiry, and the travel documents are filed from our side for the outbound flight and the return.
On Board and Ashore
Catering Aboard, a Boat at the Marina
Because the finish is so short, what you arrange before the flight is what is waiting when you step ashore. A chef, a cake, the wine for lunch on the beach: it is loaded in Florida and travels with you. A boat of your own at the Marsh Harbour waterfront is booked in the same message.
How Long the Day Runs
One Beach Day or a Few Nights on the Cay
The flying is brief and the boat ride briefer, so a morning out and an evening home is the natural shape of this trip. A stay of a few nights is the other, with the rest of the Abacos a short boat ride away. The aircraft is yours for as long as the itinerary runs.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet from Miami to Montage 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.

Chartering an aircraft takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Montage Cay Charter- 01
Contact Us
Write to us on WhatsApp or by email. Send your dates, how many guests, which airport suits your morning and where you want to travel. Tell us the hour you would like to leave.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We look at the date and reply with the aircraft that fit your group, each one listed with its seats, its luggage limit and its block time. The price belongs to the aircraft, not to the number of people aboard, so it holds if six turn into five. You choose from a short list rather than being handed one answer.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You choose the aircraft and we settle the departure field. Then the rest of the day is hung on it: the boat from the Marsh Harbour waterfront to the cay, lunch aboard or waiting on the beach, and a dock pickup at the marina for the return.
A cake or flowers if it is an occasion. Once you approve and pay, the boarding time, the field and everything included arrive.

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 Montage Cay Puts You Down
The jet is where a Montage Cay day really begins. A flight high over the Gulf Stream, and then a private island ringed by seven beaches, a deep water marina and the calm Sea of Abaco, with Hope Town's striped lighthouse across the bay. Below is what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your Montage Cay CharterThe Marina and Its Deep Water Slips
Most Asked For
The island was laid out around its harbour, not around an airstrip. Its marina holds forty seven deep water slips for boats up to a hundred and ten feet, which makes it one of the few places in the Abacos where a large yacht can lie right beside the beach. For a party meeting a boat that changes the whole day. You step off the transfer onto the same dock the yacht is tied to, and a yacht transfer is booked alongside the aircraft instead of after it. The wider island has its own Montage Cay destination page. A boat that has come over from Florida on its own can already be lying in a slip when you land. Tell us its length with the enquiry, so the berth is held for it.
Seven Beaches Around the Island
A Short Walk
Seven white sand beaches run around the shore, and on an island this small that means one of them is always out of the wind. Whatever the direction on the day, there is a sheltered side with flat water. Every beach is a walk rather than a ride. A party that lands at Marsh Harbour mid morning can be in the water well before lunch, and a beach picnic is set up on whichever side the weather favours, with water toys brought out alongside it. With no road traffic and every beach within walking distance, children move between sand and shade on their own, and the afternoon never needs a transfer.
The Sea of Abaco
Sheltered Water
The cay sits in a lagoon, not in the open ocean. A line of outer cays along the eastern edge of the chain absorbs the Atlantic swell, so the Sea of Abaco is among the calmest stretches of water in the Bahamas and a favourite of sailors for exactly that reason. It is also why the last ten minutes are so dependable. The boat from Great Abaco runs on flat, shallow water the colour of the postcards, and the reef along the outer cays is close enough that a snorkelling afternoon fits into the same visit. Parties who fish book bonefishing and flats access on the flats. The same water opens straight off the marina, so a day sail or a slow run along the cays starts at the dock rather than after a drive.
Marsh Harbour, Just Across the Water
Minutes West
Marsh Harbour is the largest town in the Abacos and the place the whole chain is supplied from. It sits under a mile west of the cay, which is close enough for a chef, a car or a change of crew and far enough to leave the island quiet. It is where the jet lands and where the border is cleared, so it shapes the day at both ends. The town has its own Marsh Harbour destination page, and a boat of your own can be waiting on its waterfront when you step off the aircraft. The town has the shops, restaurants and marinas that serve the whole chain, so anything left behind in Florida can usually be found there the same afternoon.
Hope Town and Elbow Cay
The Landmark
South east across the bay stands the candy striped lighthouse above Hope Town, the picture most people have of the Abacos, over a village of pastel cottages on Elbow Cay. It went up in the 1860s and is still in use. From the cay it is a short boat ride and a natural half day. The village has its own page at Hope Town, the packaged version is the Hope Town getaway, and guests who would rather sit at a table than on a boat book a fly and dine day. The harbour below the lighthouse is sheltered and full of sailing boats, and the village lanes are made for walking rather than driving.
The Cays North of the Harbour
Same Afternoon
North of Marsh Harbour the chain continues to Man-O-War Cay, the boatbuilding village, and on to Great Guana Cay, with the long open beach of the group. Both are boat rides from the cay rather than expeditions. Out on the cays nobody drives. Golf carts and boats move people around, and that holds on arrival day as much as any other. Ground transport at the Miami end is arranged the same way, so neither end of the trip waits on a taxi. The ocean beach on Great Guana runs for miles along the Atlantic side, and lunch out there is an easy boat excursion from the marina.
Green Turtle Cay and Treasure Cay
Up the Chain
Further north, Green Turtle Cay keeps a loyalist village of narrow lanes and painted houses, and Treasure Cay holds the long crescent of sand the Abacos are famous for, on the mainland shore. Treasure Cay has an airport of entry too, so a jet can use it when the day is built around the north of the chain. Which field a given flight uses depends on the aircraft, the routing and the date, and it comes back with the quote. The whole group is on the Abacos page. New Plymouth, the village on Green Turtle, sits right on its harbour, so lunch there is a short walk from wherever the boat ties up.
Onward Down the Chain
Same Aircraft
A private jet charter from Miami to Montage Cay also works as the first leg rather than the whole trip. From Marsh Harbour the same aircraft carries on to Grand Bahama, Nassau, Harbour Island or down to Staniel Cay and the Exumas. That turns a single island into island hopping or a wider Bahamas day, with the full chain on the Bahamas destinations page. With the border cleared at Great Abaco on arrival, a second stop that afternoon is just another flight. It costs daylight, so mention it with the date: an extra leg changes the fuel and the load. The packaged version of the day is the Montage Cay getaway day trip, and freight beyond luggage travels as island logistics. If the flight home should leave from a different island than the one you arrived at, say so early and the routing is built around it.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to Montage Cay: Above the Stream to Great Abaco, Then Ten Minutes to Seven Beaches
The blocks above describe the day. The ones below explain it: what two hundred miles of Stream does to an afternoon and why a jet barely notices, why the shortest finish in the Abacos rewards a punctual arrival, who files the border on Great Abaco, and how an occasion is marked on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet Montage Cay from Miami: Flying High and Fast Above the Weather
Above the weather on a private jet from Miami to Montage Cay
Between the city and this cay lie two hundred miles of open water, and the aircraft that crosses them decides how much of the day survives. Warm water in the Stream lifts cloud and squalls along that line from late morning. Boats sit it out, light aircraft slip beneath it or stay parked, and the afternoon drains away either way. A jet climbs above the whole system and cruises at altitude, so weather that clears a Florida apron barely touches this trip. Here that matters more than usual, because almost nothing comes after the flight. Marsh Harbour takes the wheels, and from there the cay is under a mile of water and about ten minutes by boat. Arrive on time and the beach is yours before noon. Every hour the crossing gives back is an hour on one of seven beaches, and the cabin carries your party alone on jets in the fleet of this size. Other private jet routes from Miami fly the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from Montage Cay: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Montage Cay
A charter comes without a timetable. The day takes its shape from an hour you pick yourself. You decide three things: when the wheels leave Florida, when you want to be on the sand, and which airport suits the start of the day. Nobody else's schedule fixes any of them, and changing one a week out takes a message. If the drive is shorter heading north, the same flight leaves from Fort Lauderdale instead. Check-in is arriving thirty minutes before the wheels turn. You go from the car straight to the steps, the luggage is loaded in front of you, and the passenger list holds your names and nobody else's. Because the boat from Marsh Harbour is ten minutes and can be your own, the hour you choose in Miami is very nearly the hour you reach the cay. Heading home is just as loose: moving the return later is a message rather than a rebooking, so a long lunch on the beach can run its course.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Montage Cay: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Montage Cay crossing
A day on Montage Cay crosses a border twice, out and back. Unfiled, that is where the hours go. Three filings cover it: out of Florida, into the Bahamas at a port of entry, and home again. The crew lodges every one. What makes this route easy is that Marsh Harbour, where the jet lands, is itself a port of entry, so clearance and arrival are the same stop and the boat across is local travel. The cay keeps no customs office of its own, which is exactly why the flight goes to Great Abaco. Everyone needs a passport, children too, per the travel documents guidance, and what may be packed is in the baggage guidance. The field for the return comes with the quote, and delays follow the weather and delays policy. If someone joins or drops out, the crew amends the filing: one message is enough.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to Montage Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Montage Cay
A private jet from Miami to Montage Cay gets booked when a day deserves marking: a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary, a weekend with the people who count. A small private island with seven beaches, a marina and no road traffic is a lot of calm to reach before lunch, and nothing on the island once you arrive calls for a car. Many go over for the day and sleep in Florida the same night. Others stay a few nights and choose the return when it suits, or add a neighbouring cay on the way home. Either way it is one charter, and the whole party travels on a single booking. If the day is an occasion, tell us when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers fly with you. With a boat ride of ten minutes at the far end, the table can be laid on the beach before you land. That is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Montage Cay is for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Montage Cay: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Montage Cay?
Marsh Harbour is about 201 statute miles from the city, a little under 175 nautical, and a jet covers that distance quickly. The block time goes in the quote rather than on this page, because it depends on the aircraft and the departure field.
After landing there is a short drive to the water and about ten minutes by boat, so the flight is nearly the whole journey.
Can a private jet land on Montage Cay?
No. It is a private island with beaches, a marina and no runway, so the aircraft lands at Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco, less than a mile away across the water. From there a boat finishes the trip in about ten minutes. You book one charter, not three separate pieces, and every part of it is arranged before you leave Florida.
How do we get from Marsh Harbour to the cay?
A short drive from the airport to the water, then about ten minutes by boat. The island is reached by boat, seaplane, helicopter or ferry, and after a jet the boat is the natural finish. It can be a boat of your own, booked with the aircraft and waiting when you reach the waterfront, so nothing depends on a published departure.
Why take a jet if it cannot land there anyway?
Because the risk sits in the two hundred miles before the boat, not in the ten minutes after it. The Stream builds cloud and squalls along that line from around midday, and on a crossing that long that is what pushes a trip into tomorrow.
A jet cruises above the layer and passes over it. Marsh Harbour helps too: 6,100 feet of asphalt and a border desk on the field. With a finish this short, an on-time flight means an on-time day.
What is on Montage Cay?
Seven white sand beaches ring the island, so there is always one out of the wind, and a deep water marina with forty seven slips takes yachts up to a hundred and ten feet. It sits in the Sea of Abaco, sheltered water with Hope Town's lighthouse across the bay.
Tell us whether the day is about the beaches, a boat or a table, and it is arranged around that. Marsh Harbour, the largest town in the Abacos, is ten minutes away by boat for anything the island itself does not have.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has several business airports, and the best one is whichever is the shortest drive from where your party starts the day. Most of these flights leave from the executive field on the north west side, which is also where a return from the islands clears back into the United States.
Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach work as well and have their own pages. Tell us where you are staying and the field is chosen around that.
Can we choose our own departure time?
Within daylight and the crew's duty limits, yes. On this route the hour you pick in Miami is almost the hour you reach the beach, because the boat at the far end takes about ten minutes.
The time is set when you confirm and can still move after that, since nobody else is booked on the aircraft and no other party is waiting for it.
Is anyone else on the jet?
No one. The names you send are the full passenger list. There are no allocated seats, no strangers in the cabin, and the aircraft does not leave on a clock while part of your group is still parking. Adding or removing a name close to the day is a new filing on our side and a single message on yours.
Do I need a passport for Montage Cay?
Yes, every traveller, including children. The Bahamas is a separate country however you arrive. We take the details once, with the enquiry, and file both directions before departure. Clearance happens when you land at Marsh Harbour, so the boat ride to the cay afterwards is local travel. The travel documents page lists what each passenger needs and when.
Can we do it as a day trip?
Easily. The flying is short and the boat ride is about ten minutes, so out in the morning and home in the evening is the ordinary shape of this trip.
The only thing to plan is the return boat to Marsh Harbour, and with your own boat that simply leaves when you do. Parties who want more time stay a few nights and fly back on a day they choose.
What if the weather turns on the day?
It matters less for a jet than for anything else crossing this water, which is the reason to book one. The aircraft cruises above the layer that holds others back, and Marsh Harbour's runway copes with conditions a short strip cannot.
If the day does need to move, you hear as soon as we do, and moving it is a conversation, because the aircraft was never promised to anyone else. The ten minutes of water are sheltered by the outer cays.
Is the boat ride to the cay rough?
Rarely. The cay sits inside the Sea of Abaco, a lagoon behind a chain of outer cays that take the Atlantic swell before it reaches the inside, so it is some of the calmest water in the Bahamas. The run from Marsh Harbour is under a mile and takes about ten minutes. On a windy afternoon the boat simply waits for you at the marina.
Can a yacht meet us instead of a transfer boat?
Yes. The marina on the cay takes vessels up to a hundred and ten feet, and a yacht can wait for you at Marsh Harbour and carry you across, or be ready at the cay for an afternoon on the water. Say so in the enquiry and it is priced with the aircraft. It is the add-on we mention first on this route.
How do we start?
Send the date, the number of guests, the field that suits your morning and the hour you have in mind. Say as well whether you want a boat of your own or a yacht waiting at Marsh Harbour, because that shapes the last ten minutes.
You get back availability, the price, the boarding time and a 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.
