The Route
Miami to Exuma by Private Jet
The Exuma islands lie about 275 nautical miles southeast of Miami, a chain of about 365 cays, and a private jet covers the distance in about an hour to an hour and a quarter, with no stop in Nassau. Every private jet from Miami to Exuma leaves from a Miami airport with a private terminal and lands at Exuma International Airport (GGT) at Moss Town on Great Exuma, where customs and immigration are on site.
Send us the day and the size of your group, and we answer with the jets that are free, each with one total for the whole aircraft. Velvet Air books the Miami to Exuma private jet, a licensed carrier flies it, and both border filings are prepared from our side.
Four jet classes are offered from Miami to Exuma, from a light jet for six to a heavy jet for twelve, on a runway of about 7,000 feet. The choice right below shows the difference at a glance, and hourly rates for each class are on our Miami private jet charter page. For a seaplane, a helicopter or a small plane, our flights from Miami to Exuma cover every aircraft.

How It Works
How a Private Jet to Exuma from Miami Works
Flying from Miami to Exuma by private jet works the same way in every jet class. Here is what every Miami to Exuma private jet includes, from the first message to the landing on Great Exuma.
Plan Your Private JetDistance and Time
About 275 Nautical Miles, About an Hour
Exuma International on Great Exuma Island is about 275 nautical miles southeast of Miami, five times the distance to Bimini. By jet that is about an hour to an hour and a quarter in the air, depending on the class and the wind, with no stop in Nassau, and the quote gives the planned time for your jet and your date.
Runway
About 7,000 Feet at Exuma International
Every private jet from Miami to Exuma lands at Exuma International Airport at Moss Town on Great Exuma. Its runway is about 7,000 feet long, and the jet class for your group is still checked against the field and the load before we send the quote.
The Whole Aircraft
Your Group, Your Jet, Your Hour
The jet carries only the people you name, so there is no shared cabin and no seat map. You pick the hour your Miami to Exuma private jet leaves, within the hours the crew may fly. The light jet seats six, the midsize and super midsize jets eight, the heavy jet twelve.
Both Borders
Customs at Exuma International, Filings Before You Leave
Every passenger needs a valid passport, children included. Exuma International is an airport of entry with customs and immigration in the private aviation facility, so the group clears the border where it lands, before any leg into the cays. We file the names and passport numbers for both borders before you leave Miami.
Bags and Gear
Golf Clubs, Dive Gear and Coolers
Exuma is a chain for boats, snorkelling and diving, and golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, with room for fins and masks as well. The hold is planned by weight, so list what is coming when you write and the quote names a jet that carries it.
On Board and On Arrival
Catering, Celebrations and a Car to George Town
Food and drinks for the cabin, flowers or a gift for an occasion, a car at Exuma International for the drive to George Town and a yacht waiting for you for the cays can be ordered with the jet. They appear on the same quote, so nothing is left to arrange on the day.

Plan Your Private JetDeparture Points
Miami Departure Points for Your Private Jet to Exuma
Three Miami airports serve a private jet to Exuma. The quote names the one nearest to your hotel or your home.
Select a departure point to see the location
The general aviation field in the north of Miami, with a runway of about 8,000 feet and US Customs on site. Atlantic Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation and Signature Flight Support run full-service private terminals here. Any jet class can start your private jet from Miami to Exuma at Opa-locka, and it is the shortest drive from the northern neighbourhoods and the beaches.
Miami Executive sits in Kendall, southwest of central Miami. Guests in Coral Gables, Pinecrest or the south of the city can board the jet to Exuma here instead of crossing town to a field in the north.
The airline airport of Miami. Arriving on a scheduled flight and continuing to Exuma the same day, you start here, and the jet is timed to the hour your airline lands.
- 01
Contact Us
Send the date, the number of guests and roughly what luggage is coming on WhatsApp or by email, and say whether you come back the same evening or stay in the Exumas. A preferred hour of departure helps.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We check which jets are free on your date and come back with the class for your Miami to Exuma trip, the Miami airport, the planned time to Great Exuma and one total for the whole aircraft, with what it includes.
- 03
Confirm and Pay Securely
Confirm and pay securely by credit card, and the jet and crew are reserved for you. Add catering, flowers, a car at Exuma International or a yacht for the cays at the same time, and send us the names and passport numbers for both borders.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
Be at the private terminal about thirty minutes before the time in the quote. Your bags go straight to the jet, the outbound filing is already done, and the jet leaves as soon as the group is on board, with no airline queue on the way.
In Exuma
What to See When Your Private Jet from Miami Lands in Exuma
Below are six places to see after a private jet from Miami to Exuma, from the swimming pigs on Big Major Cay to George Town on Elizabeth Harbour.
Plan Your Private JetSelect a spot to see where it is
On Big Major Cay in the central Exumas, the swimming pigs paddle out to every boat that comes close to Pig Beach. It is about ten minutes by boat from Staniel Cay, so after a private jet from Miami lands on Great Exuma, a yacht or a further short leg brings you up the chain. Thunderball Grotto is close by, and most guests see both on the same day.
Just off Staniel Cay sits Thunderball Grotto, a hollow limestone cay where the James Bond film Thunderball was shot. You swim in through the openings, and inside, daylight falls through holes in the rock onto the water. It is a short boat ride from Pig Beach, an easy pair for the first full day after the jet.
Compass Cay sits just south of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, and its marina is known for the nurse sharks that gather along the dock. Guests wade and swim beside them in the shallows. The owner made the marina a no fishing zone, and the sharks keep coming back because the staff feed them scraps.
The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, founded in 1958, was the first marine protected area in the Caribbean, and no fishing is allowed inside it. Its reefs, sandbars and quiet anchorages stretch along the central cays and are reached by boat, which makes a yacht waiting for you on Great Exuma the simplest way in.
George Town, the largest town of the chain, sits on Elizabeth Harbour, a drive from the airport where the jet lands. Stocking Island lies across the harbour, five to ten minutes by water taxi from the town dock, and can only be reached by boat. South of town, a small bridge joins Great Exuma to Little Exuma Island and Tropic of Cancer Beach.
Exuma International Airport (GGT) at Moss Town on Great Exuma Island is where every private jet from Miami to Exuma lands, and the airport of entry for the chain. Customs and immigration sit inside the private aviation facility, and the runway is about 7,000 feet long. A car can be waiting at the terminal for the drive to George Town.

In Detail
Private Jet Charter Miami to Exuma: Runways, Customs and the Cays
Velvet Air arranges every private jet charter from Miami to Exuma with licensed carriers. Your group has the jet to itself, and one person plans it with you from the first message until the landing on Great Exuma. Every other island we reach by jet is on our private jet to the Bahamas page, and every aircraft on our Bahamas flights from Miami page.
Miami to Exuma Private Jet: You Decide the Departure Time
Leave Miami on your hour and be on the harbour before lunch
Exuma is far enough that the hour you leave decides how much of the day you get on the island, which is why that hour should be yours. On a Miami to Exuma private jet you set the departure time when you confirm, within the hours the crew may fly, and it can still move if a meeting in Brickell runs long. Wheels up from Opa-locka at nine, and the jet is down at Exuma International around ten; after the drive to George Town you are on Elizabeth Harbour before lunch, with Stocking Island a few minutes away by water taxi. Exuma keeps the same clock as Miami, so the hours you plan at home are the hours you get on the island. Tell us both hours, and the quote shows both legs, Miami to Exuma and Exuma to Miami, with the time in the air.
Private Jet to Exuma from Miami: Celebrations and Long Weekends
A birthday, an anniversary or a few days in the cays
Exuma suits the trips that deserve more than an ordinary weekend: a birthday dinner in George Town, an anniversary on Stocking Island, a few days on a yacht among the central cays with friends. For a private jet from Miami to Exuma we arrange what makes the trip: flowers, champagne or a gift at your seat, catering for the cabin, a car waiting at Exuma International and, for the days after, a yacht waiting for you for Pig Beach, Thunderball Grotto at Staniel Cay or the Land and Sea Park. Larger groups fit the heavy jet with twelve seats, golf clubs and dive gear travel in the hold, and pets fly in the cabin with you. Tell us the occasion and the dates when you write, and the quote shows the jet and every add-on together, so nothing is left to organise once you land.
FAQ
Miami to Exuma Private Jet FAQ
How long does a private jet take from Miami to Exuma?
About an hour to an hour and a quarter in the air for the roughly 275 nautical miles to Great Exuma, depending on the jet class and the wind, with no stop in Nassau. The quote gives the planned time for your jet and your date.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet to Exuma?
From Miami, one way for the whole aircraft, a light jet starts from $8,000, a midsize jet from $11,000 and a heavy jet from $14,500. The final price depends on the aircraft, the date, positioning and availability.
Which airport do private jets use in Exuma?
Exuma International Airport (GGT) at Moss Town on Great Exuma, the airport of entry for the chain, with customs and immigration in the private aviation facility. Its runway is about 7,000 feet long. Runway and facilities are confirmed for each trip.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Exuma?
Book a few weeks ahead for winter weekends, Christmas, New Year and the April regatta in George Town, when jets go quickly. At other times a few days are often enough: send your date and we check which jets are free for your Miami to Exuma trip.
Do I need a passport to fly from Miami to the Bahamas?
Yes. Every passenger needs a valid passport with at least six months of validity, children included, and a driving licence will not do. Names and passport numbers are filed from our side before you leave Florida.
What is the customs and immigration process on arrival in Exuma?
Every passenger must meet Bahamian immigration and customs requirements, with valid travel documents and declarations. The jet lands first at a designated airport of entry, Exuma International, where customs and immigration are on site. We confirm the procedure before your jet leaves Miami.
How many people fit on a private jet to Exuma?
Six on the light jet, eight on the midsize Citation Excel/XLS or the super midsize Citation Sovereign, and twelve on the heavy Challenger 650. Tell us the group and the luggage, and the quote names the class that fits.
Can we bring golf clubs and dive gear?
Yes. Golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, and so do masks, fins and snorkel sets. List what is coming when you write, and the quote names a jet whose hold takes it.
How do I get from the airport to my resort in Exuma?
A car can be waiting at Exuma International for resorts on Great Exuma and the drive to George Town, and Stocking Island is five to ten minutes by water taxi from the town dock. For the cays and Pig Beach, a yacht can be waiting for you.
Can we do Exuma as a day trip by private jet?
Yes. With about an hour to an hour and a quarter each way, the jet can leave Miami in the morning and bring you back in the evening, and it waits for you on Great Exuma. For Pig Beach and the central cays, a night or two works better.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
If conditions are below what is safe, the crew moves or cancels the flight, and you hear early enough to change the departure. Nothing is lost: we move it to a new date agreed with you, and every booking carries one year of credit.
What is the difference between Velvet Air and the operator that flies me?
Velvet Air does not own or fly aircraft; the flight is operated by a licensed carrier. We compare carriers for your route and put forward the best fit, and one person stays with your request until you land.
