The Charter
Private Plane Miami to Green Turtle Cay
A charter is not a ticket. You are not buying a seat next to strangers, you are booking the aircraft. That one difference decides everything else about the day: who is on board, what hour it leaves, and which field in the Abacos it comes down on at the far end.
Green Turtle Cay is a Loyalist island off the north east coast of Great Abaco, and the last few minutes of the journey are over water rather than in the air. That last leg is short, and it is the only fixed part of an otherwise open day. Everything before it is a decision your party makes rather than one a timetable makes for you.
Everything between the two ends is ours: the departure point in Miami, the aircraft and the crew, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas wants before you leave Florida.
Your party brings passports and a bag, and turns up shortly before the boarding time rather than hours ahead of it. The boat on the far side is arranged with the flight, not found on arrival.
It is one of several small plane routes from Miami into the Abacos, and the same aircraft carries on to the rest of the Bahamas on the same day if you want it to.
Plan Your Green Turtle Cay Charter
How It Works
How a Private Plane to Green Turtle Cay from Miami Actually Works
Three things change the moment the aircraft belongs to one party for the day, and none of them are about the aircraft itself.
Plan Your Green Turtle Cay CharterThe Manifest
The passenger list for Green Turtle Cay is written by you and nobody adds to it
A charter carries the people you name and no one else. There is no seat map to be assigned around, no stranger in the row behind, and no reason to arrive early to secure anything.It also means the party can change up to the day before: a name added, a name dropped, a child who turns out to be coming after all. We refile and the flight is the same flight.
The Field
Which airstrip near Green Turtle Cay you land on is a choice rather than a given
Green Turtle Cay has no strip of its own, so the flight ends on Great Abaco and the last stretch is a short run over the Sea of Abaco. Which field it ends on is open.Treasure Cay sits closest and is the one most parties take, and Treasure Cay has its own page.
Marsh Harbour further south suits a group that wants a night on the mainland first, and Spanish Cay lies north of the settlement. On a scheduled service that decision belongs to the airline. Here it is yours.
The Clock
The departure time from Miami is a decision rather than a listing
Scheduled service leaves when it leaves. A charter leaves when you want it to, inside daylight and inside what the crew is legally allowed to fly.That is why a same day return to Green Turtle Cay works at all: the boat across is short, so an early departure buys a whole afternoon rather than a rushed lunch. If the morning slips, the aircraft waits, because it has nowhere else to be.
The Terminal
You walk out of a private terminal in Miami, not through an airport
In Florida you park, walk to the aircraft and go, with the outbound filing already done from the departure point.At the Abaco end the border desk is a short walk from where you stop rolling. There is no terminal to cross and no queue to join, and nothing for your party to carry further than the door of the waiting car.
The Return
The way home from Green Turtle Cay belongs to you in the same way the way out does
A return leg on a scheduled service is the hour somebody else published. On a charter it is the hour you name on the morning, and it can move again while you are still on the cay.That is what turns a crossing into a day rather than a schedule to work backwards from: lunch at New Plymouth can run long, the boat back can leave later, and the aircraft is still there.
After You Land
The boat and the cart at Green Turtle Cay are arranged before you leave Florida
A car waiting at the field, the crossing booked for the hour you actually arrive, a golf cart at the dock on the other side: all of it is set up with the flight rather than found on the day.On a route with a water leg in the middle that is the difference between a day and a series of small waits.
Tell us what the day should look like when you send the dates and it comes back arranged, with ground transport priced alongside the aircraft.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Plane Charter from Miami to Green Turtle Cay
The aircraft is booked for your party alone, so the departure point is yours to pick rather than something a timetable decides. These are the four we fly from around Miami. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami in the south west of the county, a general aviation field where the distance from the car to the aircraft is measured in steps. Nobody is waiting on a boarding call, because the only people on the flight are the ones who booked it. It is the shortest drive from the south and west of Miami-Dade.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
The executive airport north west of the city, where your group waits in a private terminal and walks out when it is ready. Most island days leave from here, and the same building clears the return into the United States. There is no check-in queue, so the morning is built around your day.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
A pickup rather than a base, for a party already off an airline flight that wants the island leg from the same airport. Arranged per flight and confirmed with the operator before it is quoted. It is the one departure point that costs you time, because a commercial field runs to its own order.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, chosen when the group is north of Miami and the drive south would eat the hour the flight saves. The return clears in its own building there, so a day need not end where it began. The aircraft positions to meet you.
How to Charter
Booking a Charter and Flying Private Plane from Miami to Green Turtle Cay
Chartering an aircraft is not booking a seat. There are four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Green Turtle 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 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 the aircraft that fit your party: seats, baggage, flight time, and which Abaco field each option lands on. 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 pickup point, the field and the boat on the far side. Then everything around the flight: catering on board, a golf cart at the dock, ground transport to your hotel. You approve it, you pay, and the boarding time and everything included come back to you.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Early
You will have no terminal and no queue. Just make sure you are there 30 minutes before. Then you take off, clear in at the Abaco end, and the car and the boat are already waiting.
On the Island
Where a Private Plane Charter to Green Turtle Cay from Miami Puts You Down
The wheels come down on Great Abaco, the border desk is a short walk away, and from that moment the day is unscheduled. There is no return departure to work back from and no group to keep together, so what follows is a menu rather than an itinerary.
These are the things parties on this route actually ask for, in the order they ask for them.
Plan Your Green Turtle Cay CharterChoosing the Abaco Field Instead of Being Sent to One
Your DecisionGreen Turtle Cay has no field of its own, so every version of this journey ends on Great Abaco and crosses the last stretch on water. What changes with a charter is that the ending is yours to pick. Treasure Cay sits closest and is what most parties take, and it has a page of its own.
Marsh Harbour is the larger field further south and makes sense when the trip has a night on the mainland in it. Spanish Cay lies north of both. On a scheduled service none of this is a question, because the airline has already answered it. Here we put the options in front of you with the honest answer about which one makes the shortest day.
The Hour You Leave Miami and the Hour You Come Back
Your Clock
Both ends of the day are set by your party rather than published by somebody else, and both can still move after they are confirmed. That matters more here than on a route without a water leg. A crossing that has to be caught turns an afternoon into a countdown.
When the aircraft and the boat are both held for one party, a table that runs long is a message rather than a missed connection, and the return is whatever hour the afternoon has earned. Daylight and crew duty are the only limits, and weather is the one thing nobody negotiates with.
Nobody Else Boards the Aircraft to Green Turtle Cay
One Party
The cabin holds the people you named and nobody was added to it, which is the plainest thing a charter does and the one guests notice first. It carries through to the ground.
The car at the field and the boat across are booked for the same names and the same arrival, so a group of eight is still a group of eight when it steps onto the dock.
What is said in the cabin stays with the people you invited, and the day belongs to the same set of people from the hangar in Florida to the last leg home.
Thirty Minutes in Miami, No Terminal in the Abacos
What You Skip
You arrive half an hour before departure and walk to the aircraft. There is no check in desk, no security line and no gate, because a private terminal does not have them. The filings that scheduled passengers queue for are made from our side before you leave home, so nothing is handed over and nothing is printed.
At the Abaco end the walk from the aircraft to the far side of the border desk is short, and the transfer is standing outside it. On a day trip that saved hour is the difference between a day on the cay and an overnight you did not want to book.
The Cart at Green Turtle Cay Is Booked With the Flight
Arranged Ahead
Everything that happens between the aircraft and the first drink is arranged before you leave Florida rather than found when you get there.
Tell us what the day should look like when you send the dates and it comes back as one plan with one price: the crossing timed to the hour you actually land, ground transport at either end, and a cart waiting at the dock if you want one.
A day built around lunch somewhere particular is a fly and dine day, and anything more specific is a custom request. What there is to do once you are on the cay belongs on the Green Turtle Cay destination page rather than here.
What Goes in the Back of the Aircraft to Green Turtle Cay
Your Payload
With one party on board, the choice between people and weight is made inside your own group rather than by a rule written for everyone. Nobody else's luggage is competing for the space, so a party of four travelling with a lot and a party of eight travelling light are both normal requests.
Tell us roughly what is coming and it is worked into the aircraft we send back, and the baggage guidance sets out how that is handled. Anything beyond luggage is a different service on the same field, and that is island logistics rather than a charter with extra bags.
The Fields North and South of Treasure Cay
Also in Range
The Abacos are a long chain and there is more than one place to put an aircraft down in it, which only matters when the aircraft is yours. Spanish Cay lies north of the settlement, Sandy Point sits at the southern tip of Great Abaco and Walker's Cay is at the very top of the chain.
A party with two stops in mind can take them in the order that suits the day instead of the order a schedule allows, and the Abacos as a whole open up in the same conversation. Where the day should end at a dock rather than a field, the same route runs on a seaplane.
A Second Abaco Island Before You Go Home
Your Itinerary
Once your party is cleared in at the Abaco end, every leg after it is domestic, and an aircraft that belongs to you for the day can string those legs together in any order you like. Grand Bahama, Nassau, Harbour Island and Staniel Cay and the Exumas all take the same type, and none of them require going back to a hub first.
That is the shape of an island hopping day or a longer Bahamas day; a single island and back is a Green Turtle Cay getaway day trip. The full list is on the Bahamas destinations page.

Private Plane Charter Miami to Green Turtle Cay: The Whole Aircraft and the Field You Name
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind it: who is on board, who does the paperwork, which Abaco field the aircraft comes down on and why that is your decision, and how late the hour can still move on a flight to the Bahamas.

A window each on a Miami to Green Turtle Cay private plane
The crossing is not dead time between two airports. The cabin is yours for it, so what is below is part of the day rather than something to sit through. We solve them in advance: the transfer is standing when you clear, the crossing is set for the hour you actually land, and a cart is at the dock on the far side if you asked for one. Everything between the two ends is ours: the departure point in Miami, the aircraft and the crew, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas wants before you leave Florida. The payload is yours, so the trade between passengers and weight is too, and what you bring is a conversation here rather than a policy. On this route that runs one step further, because the journey does not end at the aircraft. You are not buying a seat next to strangers, you are booking the aircraft. Green Turtle Cay is a Loyalist island off the north east coast of Great Abaco, and the last few minutes of the journey are over water rather than in the air.
Private Plane to Green Turtle Cay from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private plane to Green Turtle 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 you want to be standing on Green Turtle Cay and which water in the city suits your morning. The aircraft belongs to your party for the day, so all three are your decision rather than a departure somebody else set, and a change the week before is a message to us. Half an hour before the lift-off is the whole of the check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, the bags go on in front of you, and the list for that flight carries your names and nobody else's. Nothing about the morning waits on a stranger. Because the aircraft is yours, the field it leaves from is a choice and not a given. And the crossing is a reason in itself. The windows are deep and the aircraft crosses low, so there is room for everybody to sit and watch the water change instead of taking turns at one of them.
Private Plane Charter from 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 private plane from Miami to Green Turtle Cay crosses an international border twice in a day. Entry into the Bahamas asks for a declaration filed from Florida, clearance at a port of entry on arrival and a US return filed before you leave, which is what sets where you may land coming home. Passports for everyone, children included, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel sits in the baggage guidance. That same filing sets where you land coming home: a return from the islands clears at None, so a day that began on the water finishes on a ramp and a departure moved by weather runs under the weather and delays policy. If the party changes before the flight, the crew refiles. A name added, a name dropped: that is a message to us rather than a problem for you.
Flying Private Plane from Miami to Green Turtle Cay: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a weekend or a celebration on Green Turtle Cay
A private private plane from Miami to Green Turtle Cay is booked when the day is worth marking: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a weekend away with the people who matter. The flight is short enough that the occasion, not the travelling, is what the day is about. That is what a private plane from Miami to Green Turtle Cay is for. A group of eight who all want to be on the same aircraft and the same boat, on the way out and on the way back, rather than arriving in twos across an afternoon. A day where the catering on board is part of the surprise rather than an afterthought. 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 the same charter, and the whole group travels together 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. Everything is in place before you board in Miami.
Questions
Private Plane Miami to Green Turtle Cay: Questions Answered
What does chartering a private plane to Green Turtle Cay actually include?
The aircraft and the crew for your party, both border filings, the transfer at the Abaco end and the crossing to the cay, plus anything else you ask for at either end.
You are booking the airframe rather than seats on it, so the price covers the flight whether four people travel or eight. Catering, a golf cart waiting at the dock and onward transport are added when you ask for them and come back priced with the aircraft.
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 on this route. The hour is set when you confirm and can still be moved afterwards if your day changes, because the aircraft is not going anywhere else and there are no other passengers to inconvenience.
When the hour moves we move the boat and the car with it, which is the part a party arranging its own transfers cannot do at short notice. Tell us the hour you actually want rather than the one you think is on offer.
Which airport does the flight land at?
The one that suits your day. Treasure Cay is the closest to the cay and the one most parties take. Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco is the larger field and suits a group spending a night on the mainland, and Spanish Cay lies north of both.
On a scheduled service the airline decides this. On a charter you do, and we will tell you which one makes the shortest day for the people travelling.
Is anyone else on the flight?
No. A charter carries the people you name and nobody else. There is no seat assignment, no other party sharing the cabin, and no risk of the flight leaving without part of your group because a connection did not hold.
The boat on the far side is booked for the same party, so the group stays together the whole way rather than splitting across two crossings.
Do we have to connect through Nassau?
No. The aircraft flies straight to the Abacos and clears in where it lands, which is the step a private charter removes. Connecting through a larger airport is what scheduled travel to the out islands usually requires.
The same is true further down the chain: once your party is cleared in, an onward leg to another island is domestic and does not send you back to a hub first.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, for every passenger including children. The Bahamas is a different country and a private aircraft 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.
How early do we need to be at the airport?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal to cross and no queue to join at the Florida end, because you leave from a private terminal. You park, walk to the aircraft and go. The outbound border filing is already done from our side before you arrive, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.
Can we change the passenger list after booking?
Yes, up to the day before in most cases. A name added or dropped means we refile the manifest and adjust the boat, and the flight is otherwise unchanged. Tell us as early as you can, because the paperwork is what needs the notice, not the aircraft.
Can we fly on to another island the same day?
Often yes. Once the aircraft is yours it can carry on down the chain rather than return to a hub first, and the fields in the Abacos and the Exumas take the same type. Send the whole itinerary at the enquiry and it comes back as one day rather than two separate flights.
What if the weather turns on the day?
The day moves. Weather is the one thing a charter does not make flexible, and we would rather move a flight than fly it badly.
You are told as early as we know, and the aircraft is rebooked to a date that works for your party. Because the aircraft was held for you and nobody else, moving it is a conversation rather than a queue for the next available seat.
Is a private charter cheaper than scheduled flights for a group?
It depends on the size of the party and what the day is worth to you. The aircraft costs the same whether it is full or not, so the cost per person falls as the group grows, and a party of six or eight is where the comparison usually turns.
What does not show up in a fare comparison is the hour you get back at each end of the day, and the connection you do not have to make. Send the date and the headcount and you get real numbers rather than an estimate.
How do we start?
Send the date, the number of guests, where you are leaving from and the hour you would like. You get back the aircraft that are free, what each one costs, the boarding time and what is included.
Nothing is held until you say so. If the day has anything else in it, a cart at the dock or a table booked for the afternoon, say so at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.
Can I bring a pet on a private plane 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.
