The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Sun Cay
Sun Cay is a small private island about a mile east of Paradise Island and some three miles from Nassau, and there is no airstrip on it. So the jet sets down at Nassau, on the long asphalt at Lynden Pindling, and a boat carries the party the last stretch, around thirty minutes from the harbour to the sand. Both legs are booked before you leave Florida.
What the aircraft changes is everything before that boat: about 163 nautical miles from Miami, almost all of it over open sea. Over that water the Gulf Stream builds its afternoon cloud. A jet climbs above it early and holds its level to Nassau, so the hour you choose in Miami is still your hour on the cay.
We arrange everything between the two: the departure airport, the jet and its crew, the boat out of Nassau, the border filings both ways and the travel documents the Bahamas asks for. Your party brings passports and swimwear. Lynden Pindling clears customs on the field itself, so the day holds no second stop. Sun Cay is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter.

Miami to Sun Cay Private Jet
How a Private Jet Sun Cay from Miami Flight Actually Works
A Miami to Sun Cay jet charter is 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 onto the sand at Sun Cay.
Plan Your Sun Cay CharterDistance and Flight Level
About 163 Nautical Miles, Flown High
From Miami to Sun Cay is about 163 nautical miles on the great circle, and all but the final few are open sea on the way to Nassau. That stretch is where the Gulf Stream stacks up its cloud after midday.
A jet is through the layer early and holds one level until the descent into New Providence, so the forecast matters far less than it does to a boat.
The Whole Aircraft
One Party in the Cabin, Nobody Else Aboard
Nobody else boards. The cabin carries your names and the crew, and the aircraft leaves when your party is ready rather than when a timetable says so. Seating, the number of bags and anything loaded for the cay are agreed in the days before, not at the ramp, and a slow breakfast only moves the departure hour back.
The Runway It Needs
Nassau's Long Asphalt, Then Half an Hour by Boat
Sun Cay has no runway of its own, so the jet lands at Lynden Pindling on New Providence, on 11,353 feet of asphalt that stays usable in weather that closes a short strip. The boat booked with the flight then runs around thirty minutes from Nassau to the cay, and the party is on the sand before the morning is half gone.
Both Borders
Passports Taken Once, Both Borders Filed Ahead
Sun Cay is not a port of entry. Clearance happens at Lynden Pindling, where the jet parks, and the boat ride out stays inside the Bahamas with no further desk. Passport details are taken once, with the enquiry, and the travel documents go in from our side for the flight out and the flight home.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, Masks, and What Travels to Sun Cay
Snorkel masks for the sculpture garden, a cooler for the beach, a cake if somebody is turning forty: what travels is ordered with the flight rather than asked for on it. The cay already has its pools, its bars and a place to eat, so what you bring is mainly what makes the day your party's own.
How Long the Day Runs
Day Trip to Sun Cay, Nights on Nassau
The flight uses so little of the day that most parties treat Sun Cay as a beach day and eat dinner back in Florida. A longer trip usually means a room on Nassau and the boat back out the next morning, with the aircraft held for as long as you need.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet from Miami to Sun 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 Sun 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 check what is free on your date and send what fits your party. Seats, baggage and flight time for each one. You are pricing the whole airframe rather than a headcount, so a smaller group on the same aircraft 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, the boat that meets you at Nassau for the half hour out to Sun Cay, a dock pickup on the way back. Flowers if the day is a special one. 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 Island
Where a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Sun Cay Puts You Down
The jet is where a Sun Cay day starts. A flight high over the Gulf Stream, half an hour by boat from Nassau, and then carved figures under the water, three beaches and a pool bar a mile from Paradise Island. Below is what a day on the cay can look like.
Plan Your Sun Cay CharterThe Sunken Sculpture Garden
Most Asked For
What brings most parties here lies under the water. Six hand carved figures stand on the sea floor a short swim off the beach, near enough to the surface that nobody needs a tank to see them. Say how many are swimming when you send the date, and whether anyone prefers to dive. Water toys and masks for the afternoon travel with the flight rather than being hunted for on arrival.
The Wreck Beside the Figures
Snorkel Depth
Next to the figures a sunken boat lies on the same reef, shallow enough to swim over rather than dive down to. It is a few fin kicks from the sculptures and part of the same snorkel. Because the reef sits close in, the swim starts from the sand rather than from a tender, which is why a day here works well with children along.
Three Beaches, One Always Sheltered
Whatever the Wind Does
The cay has three beaches and they face different directions, so one of them is out of the wind whatever the morning brings. The water shelves gently off each of them. That is where a beach picnic is set out, and if a boat is collecting the party later a dock pickup is arranged with the flight rather than on the dock.
The Iguana Walk
A Quarter of an Hour
The cay keeps an iguana habitat, and the guided walk through it takes about fifteen minutes. It is the only part of the day here spent on land rather than in the water. Worth knowing when the hours ashore are planned, since everything else on the island is swimming, eating or doing nothing at all.
Pools, Bars and Lunch
Half the Day
On shore there are two pools, four bars and somewhere to eat, so the day does not have to be spent in the sea to be spent well. Parties who would rather have a table than a towel book a fly and dine day, and catering on board takes care of the flight out. Anything off the usual list goes to custom requests.
Paradise Island, a Mile West
Across the Water
Paradise Island lies about a mile west and Nassau about three. The hotel towers show from the sand, which is the curious thing about this cay: it is quiet without being far away. The jet lands at Lynden Pindling on New Providence, so the capital sits on the line of the day rather than off it. A Paradise Island getaway is built around the resort side if that is the point.
Rose Island and the Cays East
Same Afternoon
East of the cay the chain continues through Rose Island and the shallows behind it, which dry to open sand at low tide and fill again by the time the boat heads back. A boat can carry on there in the same afternoon, which turns one island into island hopping or a wider Bahamas day. If a yacht is meeting you at Nassau, that is a yacht transfer.
Onward to the Exumas and the Out Islands
Same Aircraft
A private jet charter from Miami to Sun Cay also works as the first leg of something longer. The same aircraft carries on from Nassau south to Staniel Cay and the Exumas, west to Andros or north to Harbour Island. Anything bigger than luggage goes as island logistics. The full island guide is on the Sun Cay destination page, the packaged version is the Sun Cay getaway day trip and the rest of the chain is on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to Sun Cay: High Over the Gulf Stream, Then a Short Boat Ride to Sun Cay
The sections above cover the day itself. Below is the reasoning behind it: why a jet stays clear of the afternoon on a crossing this long, how late your hour can still change, who deals with the papers at Nassau, and what an occasion looks like on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet Sun Cay from Miami: Flying High and Fast Over the Gulf Stream
Over the Gulf Stream on a private jet from Miami to Sun Cay
Over roughly 163 nautical miles of sea, the flight is not a gap between two terminals. It is the part that settles whether the day goes ahead at all. From about midday the Gulf Stream starts building cloud and squall lines, and across a distance like this that is what calls days off. A boat sits it out. A small aircraft flies underneath it or does not fly. A jet climbs through the layer and holds one level to Nassau, so the weather that stops the others seldom reaches it. That means the day can be fixed a week ahead instead of on the morning: the question is no longer whether you go but when the boat should be waiting at the harbour. The hours on Sun Cay go to the sculpture garden, the three beaches and the pools, and a day that starts late simply has fewer of them. Minutes saved in the air are minutes on the sand, 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 Sun Cay: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Sun Cay
There is no schedule to fit a charter into. The day is built around the hour you pick. You choose when to take off, when the boat should reach Sun Cay and which of the city's airports is nearest to where your party wakes. For the day the aircraft is yours, so each of those is your call, and changing one of them the week before is a single message. If the drive is shorter from the north, the same flight goes from Fort Lauderdale. Check-in is thirty minutes ahead of departure and nothing beyond that. The party walks from the car to the steps, the bags go into the hold while you watch, and the manifest carries your names and no one else's. The boat at Nassau waits for the aircraft rather than for a clock, so a later take-off never leaves anyone standing on the dock. Coming home is just as open: a later flight back is a message and not a new booking, which is why a long afternoon between the pools and the three beaches is the normal shape of this trip. The jet stays on the ramp at Nassau until the party is ready.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Sun Cay: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Sun Cay crossing
A private jet from Miami to Sun Cay crosses a national border going out and again coming back. That is exactly where a day falls apart when nobody has filed ahead. The Bahamas expects a declaration before departure from Florida and clearance at a port of entry on landing, and the United States expects a filing before the flight home. The crew takes care of all three. Sun Cay has no customs of its own, but Lynden Pindling at Nassau does, so the arrival is cleared on the field where the jet parks and the boat out to the cay runs inside the country with no further desk and no further form. Every passenger needs a passport, children included, as the travel documents guidance sets out, and what may be packed is in the baggage guidance. The field for the return comes with the quote, and a weather hold is covered by the weather and delays policy. If the party changes, the crew refiles: a name added or dropped is one message to us rather than a new booking, and nobody fills in the same form twice.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to Sun Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Sun Cay
A private jet from Miami to Sun Cay is usually booked when a date counts: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a weekend with the people who matter. An island with carved figures under the water, three beaches and a pool bar, within sight of Nassau, turns a normal Saturday into one the party talks about for years. Some parties fly over for the day and are home by night. Others book a room on Nassau and pick the return for whatever day suits. Both are a single charter, and the whole group travels on one booking. If there is something to celebrate, mention it when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers board with you in Miami and come home the same way. A cake travels as carefully as the guests. A date that has to go right cannot slip either, and that is the other half of what this aircraft buys. That is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Sun Cay is for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Sun Cay: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Sun Cay?
Miami to Sun Cay is about 163 nautical miles on the great circle, and almost all of it is the leg to Nassau, which for a jet is a short one.
The exact block time comes with the quote rather than as a figure on a web page. What matters more is that the flight takes so little of the day that the beaches and the water get the rest of it.
Can a private jet land on Sun Cay?
No. Sun Cay has no airstrip and is not a port of entry. The jet lands at Lynden Pindling on New Providence, on a long paved runway with its own border desk, and a boat takes you from Nassau out to the cay in around thirty minutes. Both parts are booked together and confirmed before you leave Florida.
What is actually on Sun Cay?
Three beaches facing different ways, water that shelves gently off them, and a sunken sculpture garden a short swim out: six carved figures on the sea floor in snorkelling depth, with a sunken boat lying on the same reef.
Ashore there is a guided iguana walk of about fifteen minutes, two pools, four bars and a place to eat. It is an island for swimming rather than for walking.
How do we get from Nassau to the island?
By boat, around thirty minutes from Nassau to the cay. It is arranged with the flight rather than found at the dock and timed to your landing, so the crew aboard knows which arrival it is waiting for. The same boat carries the party back in the afternoon to the aircraft at Lynden Pindling.
Why take a jet if it cannot land there anyway?
Because of the roughly 160 nautical miles of open sea before the boat. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and over that distance that is what calls days off.
A jet climbs through the layer and stays at one level to Nassau, so an afternoon that grounds the others seldom touches it. Lynden Pindling also has 11,353 feet of asphalt and its own customs, so there is no extra stop.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has several business airports, and the right one is the shortest drive from where your party starts the day. The executive field north west of the city is the usual departure and also where a return from the islands clears US customs. Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach work as well and have their own pages. Tell us where you are staying and the airport follows from that.
Can we choose our own departure time?
Yes, within daylight and within what the crew may fly. That is the heart of a charter. The hour is set when you confirm and can still move later if your plans change, because the aircraft has nowhere else to be and nobody else on board. The boat at Nassau is timed to your landing, so it moves with the flight.
Is anyone else on the jet?
No. A charter carries the names you give us and nobody else. There are no seat numbers, no second party in the cabin and no chance of the aircraft leaving with half your group. The list can change until shortly before departure: a name added or dropped is a refiling on our side, not a new booking on yours.
Do I need a passport for Sun Cay?
Yes, every traveller, children included. Sun Cay lies in the Bahamas, a different country, and a private flight does not change that. We take passport details once with the enquiry and file both directions before departure. Arrival clears at Nassau, so the boat out to the cay is a domestic trip. The travel documents page lists what each traveller provides and by when.
How early do we need to be there?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal line in Miami. You arrive, walk out to the aircraft, and the outbound border filing is already done, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.
Can we snorkel the sculpture garden?
Yes, and it is what most parties come for. The figures stand close enough to the surface that nobody needs a tank, and the sunken boat beside them belongs to the same swim. Say how many are going in the water and whether anyone would rather dive, and masks or water toys travel with the flight instead of being hunted for on arrival.
Can we turn it into a night or two?
Yes. Parties who want a night book a room on Nassau or on Paradise Island, about a mile west of the cay, and take the boat back out the next morning. The aircraft waits at Lynden Pindling for whichever day suits the return, so a long weekend is the same charter with a later flight home.
What if the weather turns on the day?
Less often than with anything else we fly on this route, which is the point of the aircraft. A jet climbs through the layer that keeps the others down, and Lynden Pindling takes conditions that close a short strip.
If the day does have to move, you hear as soon as we do, and because the aircraft is held for your party it is a conversation rather than a wait for the next free seat. The boat from Nassau is the part that depends on the sea, and that is what gets rearranged.
How do we start?
Send the date, the number of guests, which airport suits your morning and the hour you would like. You get back what is free, what it costs, the boarding time and what is included, and nothing is held until you say so.
If the day has more in it, masks for the reef or a table on Paradise Island for the evening, mention it at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.
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.
