The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay
Moriah Harbour Cay is a national park off George Town: dunes, mangrove creeks and seagrass, with no road, no runway and nothing built. So the jet lands on Great Exuma, at Exuma International, and a boat from George Town runs you into the park in around twenty minutes.
A day that ends in a boat depends on the hour the jet arrives. Arrive late and the afternoon shrinks. Two hundred and eighty three nautical miles of open water lie between city and cay. A jet climbs above their weather, so the boat meets the hour you agreed.
Everything between is ours: the departure airport, the aircraft and crew, the drive to the dock and the boat, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas wants. Your party brings passports and a bag. Lunch, shade and drinks come with the flight, because the park sells none. Exuma International is an airport of entry, so the desk sits on the field. The park is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter, and each is a different day.

How a Private Jet Moriah Harbour Cay from Miami Flight Actually Works
A Miami to Moriah Harbour 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 Moriah Harbour Cay.
Plan Your Moriah Harbour Cay CharterDistance and Flight Level
Two Hundred and Eighty Three Miles from Miami
The park sits around two hundred and eighty three nautical miles south east of the city, far enough that the weather in between decides the day. A jet crosses above that layer rather than through it, and leaves at the hour you pick, because it has nowhere else to be.
The Whole Aircraft
One Cabin for Your Party, Nobody Added
The cabin carries your party and nobody else. Seating, the hour and what is loaded for the cay are agreed before the day rather than at the ramp. Nobody joins the flight after you book, and the boat on the far side is held for the same names.
Where the Jet Puts Down
Exuma International, Then a Short Boat Ride
There is no runway in the park, so the jet lands at Exuma International on Great Exuma. A car takes you the short way into George Town, and a boat crosses from Elizabeth Harbour into the park in around twenty minutes, half an hour from the field.
Both Borders
Passports, Manifest, and Both Borders for the Park
The Bahamas is a different country, and the park lies inside it. We take the passport details once, at the enquiry, and the travel documents go in from our side for the way out and the way home. Your party brings the passports it already has.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, Kayaks, and Shade for the Cay
The cay has no bar, no shade and no water, so what the day needs flies with you: chef catering, a cooler, an umbrella, kayaks for the creeks. It is ordered with the flight rather than asked for on it, and it rides the boat out with you.
How Long the Day Runs
Day Trip to a Week Around Moriah Harbour Cay
The crossing costs a fraction of the day, so out in the morning, an afternoon in the park and home by evening works. Stay on in George Town, or carry on to Long Island on the way back: the aircraft is yours for as long as the itinerary runs.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet from Miami to Moriah Harbour 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 Moriah Harbour 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 how long you want in the park. Tell us the hour you would like to leave, and whether the boat should wait at the cay or bring you back to town.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We check what is free on your date and send what fits your party. Seats, baggage and flight time for each one, and the boat from George Town priced alongside. You are pricing the whole airframe rather than a headcount, so a smaller group costs the same as a full one.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You pick the aircraft, and we set the departure airport. Then everything around the flight. Catering on board, a car at the terminal for the drive to the dock, ground transport at home, the boat into the park. You approve it, you pay, and your boarding time, departure airport and everything included come back to you.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
You will have no terminal queue to join. Just make sure you are there 30 minutes before. Then you lift off, climb out over the bay, and the day starts.
On the Cay
Where a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay Puts You Down
The jet is where a Moriah Harbour Cay day really begins. A flight high over the Gulf Stream, a short boat ride out of George Town, and then a protected park of dunes and mangrove creeks, reef at Fowl Cay and bonefish on the flats. Below is what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your Moriah Harbour Cay CharterThe Mangrove Creeks and the Seagrass
Most Asked For
The park was drawn around its creeks. They wind back off the open water into the cay, and the seagrass meadows behind them are the nursery for most of what later lives on the reef: crabs, crawfish, conch, snappers and groupers all start out here. Protecting that nursery is the reason the boundary sits where it does, and the reef further out is the one that gains from it. The Bahamas National Trust names kayaking first among the uses of the park, and it is the quiet way in, timed to the tide. If the party wants to paddle, say so with the date: boards and kayaks go out on the boat from George Town, and anything carried from Miami counts in the aircraft's weight with the bags. The creeks are shallow and calm, so nobody in the party needs to have paddled before.
The Sand Dunes and the Beaches
What It Looks Like
The dunes surprise people. Sand banks up behind the beaches and is held in place by sea oats, bay cedar, buttonwood and palmetto, so the cay is low, pale and rolling rather than flat like the cays further up the chain. The dunes are also what hold the beaches in place, which is part of why the whole cay sits inside the boundary. Nothing stands on it: no road, no bar, no shade, no fresh water. Whatever the afternoon needs comes with you, which makes this the place for a beach picnic, with catering loaded in Miami and carried across on the boat. An umbrella and a cooler matter more here than anywhere else in the chain, because the nearest shop is back across the harbour.
Snorkelling the Reefs at Fowl Cay
In the Water
The reefs at Fowl Cay are the ones the Trust sends visitors to, and the coral inside the boundary is part of why the park exists. Turtles, conch, lobster, grouper and sharks share the same stretch of protected water. Two decades of protection show under the surface: what lives here has not been fished out. Add water toys if the afternoon belongs on the water rather than the sand, and they travel out with the party. Masks and fins can come with the boat, so nothing has to fit in the hold.
Bonefishing the Flats
Still Allowed Here
Behind the cay the flats are bonefish water, and unusually for a national park, fishing them is permitted. Traditional use, bonefishing among it, is part of how the park is managed rather than something it forbids. That makes it a protected flat you can actually fish. Parties add bonefishing and flats access to the day, booked against the tide, and the tide is known weeks out, so the jet's departure hour is set around it. Rods and gear travel in the hold, within what the aircraft carries on the day.
The Birds That Nest Here
Terns and Ospreys
The park is a nesting ground, not a flyover. Gull-billed terns and least terns lay on the open sand beside nighthawks, oystercatchers and plovers, and a resident pair of ospreys hunts the same creeks the kayaks use. Birdwatching is one of the uses the Trust lists, and it is why the beaches are walked rather than driven. Nests on bare sand are easy to miss, so the season of the trip matters more here than the hour of it. Tell us the month when you ask, and the day on the sand is planned around what is nesting then.
The Park Itself
Protected Since 2002
Moriah Harbour Cay became a national park in 2002 and was enlarged in 2015, with the Bahamas National Trust in charge of it since. The boundary protects a whole coastal system: dunes, blue holes, reefs, mangrove creeks, coppice forest and seagrass. Nothing inside it is for sale, and nothing is meant to be. That is also why a jet cannot land here and nothing waits on the sand. The settlements around the park, Rolle Town, Hartswell, The Ferry, The Cottage and Forbes Hill, sit on Great Exuma and Little Exuma, outside the line. The runway does too, at Great Exuma, which is why the day always runs through George Town and never straight onto the cay.
Stocking Island and Elizabeth Harbour
Minutes Away
The park runs north into Elizabeth Harbour, the long anchorage in front of George Town, and a channel leads in from there. The eastern end of Stocking Island across the harbour carries park trails too. The boat from the dock in town runs across the anchorage and in through that channel. That is the geography the boat ride uses: from the dock in town the park is minutes away. It also means a party joining a yacht and a party coming for the creeks can share the same flight. A yacht transfer is arranged with the jet, and the hull can already be waiting in the harbour. The boat into the park and the yacht can be the same one, which keeps the whole afternoon on a single deck.
Onward Up the Chain
Same Aircraft
The Exumas run north from here, and Staniel Cay sits around fifty three nautical miles up the chain. By boat that is a day, so a party staying a week often treats the middle of the cays as its own trip, and the jet route up the Exumas is the place to start. From the southern end the cays are hours by water and minutes in the air. The same aircraft can also carry on to Nassau or turn one park into island hopping. What goes in the hold is weighed with the party, per the baggage guidance, and anything larger than luggage is island logistics. The full guide sits on the Moriah Harbour Cay destination page, the packaged version is the Moriah Harbour Cay getaway day trip and the rest of the chain is on the Bahamas destinations page.

Private Jet from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay: The Weather Over the Stream, the Dock at George Town and the Park

Private Jet Moriah Harbour Cay from Miami: Flying High and Fast Above the Weather
Above the weather on a private jet from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay
The crossing is not dead time between two airports, and on this route it decides more than usual, because the day does not end on the runway. Two hundred and eighty three nautical miles of open water lie between Miami and the park, and an afternoon of weather anywhere along them moves the day. A boat waits it out, a light aircraft flies under it or not at all. A jet climbs through the layer and holds one altitude, so a front that grounds the rest is usually a non-event. Here that matters twice. The boat from George Town is booked for an hour, the tide in the creeks keeps its own, and a late arrival costs the part of the afternoon you came for. A jet that lands when it said it would keeps the handover to the dock simple, and the afternoon in the park stays as planned. The cabin carries your party alone on jets in the fleet of this size. Other private jet routes from Miami are flown the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from Moriah Harbour Cay: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Moriah Harbour Cay
Nobody hands you a timetable on a charter. The day is built around the hour you name. You name the hour you want to lift off, the hour the boat should leave the dock in George Town and which airport in the city suits your morning. The aircraft is your party's for the day, so all three are your call, and a change the week before is a message to us. If the drive is shorter the other way, the same day runs out of Fort Lauderdale. Half an hour before lift-off is the whole of the check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, and the list for that flight carries your names and nobody else's. The return hour matters as much here, and it is the half most people forget. A slack tide on the flats, a paddle up the creeks that runs long or light worth staying for on the dunes are all reasons to move it, and on a charter that is a message rather than new tickets for everybody.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Moriah Harbour Cay crossing
A private jet from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay crosses a border twice in a day, and that is the part that goes wrong unfiled. Entry asks for a declaration from Florida, clearance on arrival and a US return filed before you leave, which sets where you land on the way home. The crew files all three. Exuma International is itself a port of entry, so the arrival clears on the field the jet stops on, before the boat and not after it. The park needs no second paper of its own. Passports for everyone, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel sits in the baggage guidance. The landing point home comes with the quote, a delay 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 Moriah Harbour Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate at Moriah Harbour Cay
A private jet from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay is booked when the day is worth marking: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a weekend with the people who matter. An empty beach inside a national park is hard to share with a crowd. Some parties fly over for the day and are home the same evening. Others stay on and book the return for the day they want. Both are one charter, and the whole party travels on one booking. If there is something to celebrate, say so when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers travel with you and ride the boat out. On a cay with nothing to buy, what is not loaded in Miami is not there. That, and a date that cannot move, is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay buys.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Moriah Harbour Cay?
The park sits around two hundred and eighty three nautical miles south east of the city. On a jet that is a short leg, and the exact block time comes back with the quote rather than as a number on a web page.
Add the drive from Exuma International into George Town and around twenty minutes by boat, and the whole trip still leaves most of the day for the park. That is what lets a national park this far down the Exumas work as a day from Miami, with the party home before dark.
Can a private jet land on Moriah Harbour Cay?
No. The cay is a national park with no runway, no road and nothing built on it. The jet lands at Exuma International on Great Exuma, which has a paved runway and is a port of entry, so the border desk is on the same field.
From there a car takes you into George Town and a boat crosses into the park. The whole chain is booked as one trip, so nobody in the party has to find a boat on the dock or a car at the terminal.
How do we get from the airport to the park?
By car and then by boat, and both are arranged with the flight. The drive from Exuma International into George Town is short, and the boat from Elizabeth Harbour reaches the park in around twenty minutes, about half an hour from the field in all.
The boat is booked for the hour your jet lands, not the other way round, and if the flight moves, the boat moves with it. Say whether it should wait at the cay or come back for you later.
Why take a jet for a trip that ends in a boat?
Because the boat is booked for an hour. Two hundred and eighty three miles of open water is enough that an afternoon of cloud moves the day, and that stops boats and turns light aircraft back. A jet climbs above the layer, so it arrives on time and the handover at the dock stays simple. The afternoon in the park is then the length you planned.
What is there to do in the park?
Paddle the mangrove creeks, walk the dunes, snorkel the reefs at Fowl Cay and fish the flats, where bonefishing is still allowed. Terns, oystercatchers and ospreys nest there. Tell us which of these the day is for, and the kayaks, rods or snorkel gear are arranged with the flight.
There is no bar, no shade and no fresh water, so lunch, drinks and shade fly out with you and ride the boat. The Bahamas National Trust manages the park, and birds nest on the open sand, which is why the beaches are walked rather than driven.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has several business airports rather than one, and the right one is the shortest drive 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?
Yes, within daylight and within what the crew is allowed to fly. That is the main thing a charter buys you, and it applies to the way home as well: the hour is set when you confirm and can still move afterwards.
The boat hour moves with it, so an afternoon that runs long in the creeks is a message rather than a rebooking. Tell us whether you want the park in the morning or the late afternoon, and the flight is set around it.
Is anyone else on the jet?
No. A charter carries the people you name and nobody else, and the boat on the far side carries the same party. There is no seat assignment and no other group sharing the cabin.
The passenger list can change up to shortly before the flight: a name added or dropped is a refiling on our side. The same goes for the boat into the park: it carries your party and your bags, nothing else.
Do I need a passport for Moriah Harbour Cay?
Yes, for every passenger including children. The park is in the Bahamas, a different country, and a jet does not change that. We take the passport details once at the enquiry and file for both sides before departure. The travel documents page lists what each passenger hands over and by when. The park itself asks for no second document once you have cleared at Exuma International.
How early do we need to be there?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal queue to join at either end. You arrive, you walk out to the aircraft, and the outbound border filing is already done from our side, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.
Can we do it as a day trip?
Yes. The crossing takes a fraction of the day, the arrival clears on the field, and the boat into the park is short, so out in the morning and home in the evening works.
Parties who want the park at first light or at dusk usually stay a night in George Town instead. Either way it is one charter, and the return hour stays movable while you are still on the sand.
What if the weather turns on the day?
Less often than on anything else we fly this route with, and that is the point of the aircraft. A jet operates above the layer that grounds the rest.
When weather does move the day, we would rather rebook than fly it badly, you are told as early as we know, and the boat is moved with the flight rather than lost. Because the aircraft was held for your party, a new date is a conversation rather than a queue for the next available seat.
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.
