The Route
Miami to Marsh Harbour by Private Jet
Marsh Harbour, the main town of the Abaco Islands, sits on Great Abaco about 178 nautical miles from Miami, and a private jet flies it in under an hour, nonstop. Every private jet from Miami to Marsh Harbour departs from a Miami airport with a private terminal and touches down at Leonard M. Thompson International (MHH), a short drive from the ferry dock and the marinas.
Send the day and the size of the group, and the reply names the jets that are free, each with one price for the whole aircraft. Velvet Air plans your Miami to Marsh Harbour private jet, a licensed carrier flies it, and we prepare the filings for both borders.
You choose between four jet classes, from six seats in the light jet to twelve in the heavy jet. The four classes below compare seats and cabin side by side, and hourly rates for the light, midsize and heavy jet are on our Miami private jet charter page. For a seaplane, a helicopter or a small plane, our Bahamas flights from Miami cover every aircraft.

How It Works
How a Private Jet to Marsh Harbour from Miami Works
The class changes the cabin, not the way the trip is run. Below is what goes into each trip to the Abacos, from the first message to the landing at Leonard M. Thompson International.
Plan Your Private JetDistance and Time
About 178 Nautical Miles, Under an Hour
Leonard M. Thompson International (MHH) in Marsh Harbour lies about 178 nautical miles from Miami International (MIA). A jet covers that in under an hour, nonstop, with the exact time set by the class and the winds of the day, and the quote states the planned time for your date.
Runway
About 6,100 Feet at Leonard M. Thompson International
The runway in Marsh Harbour is about 6,100 feet of asphalt, long enough for the light, midsize and super midsize jets. For the heavy Challenger 650 the quote checks the weight of your group and your bags, so you know before you book which class fits.
The Whole Aircraft
One Group, One Jet, One Departure Hour
The cabin carries only the names on your list, from Miami all the way to Great Abaco. Your jet leaves at the hour you choose, inside the crew's flying hours. The light jet seats six, the midsize and super midsize classes eight, and the heavy jet twelve.
Both Borders
Customs in Marsh Harbour, Filings Before You Leave
Each passenger, children too, travels on a valid passport. Leonard M. Thompson International is an airport of entry, and customs and immigration meet the jet on arrival, so the group is cleared in Marsh Harbour itself. Customs keeps daytime hours, so the quote plans the landing inside them and confirms any early or late arrival in advance. Names and passport numbers for both borders are filed by us before departure.
Bags and Gear
Fishing Rods, Dive Gear and Coolers
The Abacos are made for sailing, fishing and diving, and golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, fishing rods too. The hold is planned by weight, so list the bags when you write, and the quote names a jet that takes them.
On Board and On Arrival
Catering, Celebrations and a Car to the Ferry
Cabin catering, flowers or a gift for an occasion, a car from the airport to the ferry dock or your marina, and a yacht waiting for you in the Sea of Abaco can all be booked with the jet. Everything sits on the same quote, so the day needs no extra calls.

Plan Your Private JetDeparture Points
Miami Departure Points for Your Private Jet to Marsh Harbour
Three Miami airports can send a private jet to Marsh Harbour, and we suggest the one closest to where you are staying.
Select a departure point to see the location
Opa-locka Executive lies in the north of Miami and has a runway of about 8,000 feet with US Customs on the field. Its three full-service private terminals are run by Atlantic Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation and Signature Flight Support. All four jet classes for a private jet from Miami to Marsh Harbour leave from here, the easy choice from Miami Beach, Aventura and the north of the city.
Miami Executive sits in Kendall, southwest of the city centre, and suits guests staying in the south of Miami. The jet to Marsh Harbour boards here, without the drive north through the city.

Arrive at the private terminal about thirty minutes before the quoted time. Luggage is taken to the jet for you, the filing for the Bahamas is ready, and you board and take off without an airline line or a gate.
In Marsh Harbour
What to See When Your Private Jet from Miami Lands in Marsh Harbour
Here are six places to see after a private jet from Miami to Marsh Harbour, from the lighthouse in Hope Town to the beach at Treasure Cay and the pine forest of Abaco National Park.
Plan Your Private JetSelect a spot to see where it is
Hope Town on Elbow Cay is known for its red and white lighthouse, an 89-foot tower whose light shines about 120 feet above the sea, and for a village of pastel cottages on narrow lanes. The ferry leaves from Crossing Beach in Marsh Harbour, so a car from the airport and a short crossing bring you there on the day the jet lands.
Man-O-War Cay is the boat building centre of the Abacos, home to a few hundred people, many of them descended from the first settlers. Joe Albury is known for the dinghies and models he builds from Abaco hardwood by hand, and the cay is a short boat ride from Marsh Harbour.
Great Guana Cay is a narrow island about seven miles long, with quiet beaches, grassy dunes and a reef close to shore. Nippers beach bar draws a crowd on weekends, and a private yacht from Marsh Harbour can take the group across the Sea of Abaco for the day.
Treasure Cay lies about 17 miles north-west of Marsh Harbour, and its long crescent of soft white sand is often named among the finest beaches in the world. A car can drive you there from the airport, so the first swim can come within hours of the landing.
In the south of Great Abaco, near the Hole-in-the-Wall lighthouse, Abaco National Park protects about 20,500 acres of pine forest. It is the home of the rare Abaco parrot, which nests in the pine forest, and a guide with a car can take you there for the morning.
Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) in Marsh Harbour is where every private jet from Miami to Marsh Harbour lands. Its runway is about 6,100 feet long, customs and immigration clear the group on arrival, and the ferries and marinas of the town are a short drive away.

In Detail
Private Jet Charter Marsh Harbour from Miami: Gateway to the Abaco Islands
Velvet Air arranges each private jet charter from Miami to Marsh Harbour, and a licensed carrier flies it. Only your group is on board, and one person plans the trip with you from the first message to the landing on Great Abaco. Every other island we reach by jet is on our private jet to the Bahamas page.
Miami to Marsh Harbour Private Jet: You Decide the Departure Time
Leave Miami after breakfast and be on the water in the Abacos by lunch
The Abacos are a chain of cays strung along the Sea of Abaco, and Marsh Harbour is where the jet lands and the boats leave. That makes the hour of departure the one thing worth planning, and on a Miami to Marsh Harbour private jet you set it yourself when you confirm, inside the crew's flying hours, with room to move it if a morning meeting in Brickell runs long. Take off from Opa-locka at nine, and the jet is on the ground on Great Abaco before ten; the ferry or your yacht can have you in Hope Town or on Guana Cay by lunch. The Abacos run on the same clock as Miami, so the times you plan at home hold on the island. Send both hours, and the quote shows both legs, Miami to Marsh Harbour and Marsh Harbour to Miami, each with its planned time and its jet.
Private Jet Marsh Harbour from Miami: Sailing Weeks and Long Weekends
A private jet to Abaco for a sailing week, a fishing trip or a celebration
The Abacos are the part of the Bahamas people return to by boat: a week on a sailing yacht in the Sea of Abaco, a fishing trip out of Marsh Harbour, a birthday in Hope Town with the lighthouse lit above the harbour. A private jet to Abaco turns the start of that week into an hour, and the end of it into the same. For a private jet from Miami to Marsh Harbour we add what the trip needs: flowers, champagne or a gift at your seat, catering for the cabin, a car to the ferry dock and a yacht waiting for you in the Sea of Abaco. The heavy jet seats twelve for a larger family, rods and dive gear ride in the hold, and dogs fly in the cabin beside you. Tell us the plan and the dates when you write, and the quote lists the jet and each add-on together, on one page with one total.
Private Jet Miami to Marsh Harbour: Hope Town, Treasure Cay and the Cays
A private jet to Marsh Harbour for a stay on Great Abaco or out on the cays
Marsh Harbour is the centre of the Abacos, and from the airport the week can go in two directions. About 17 miles north-west by car lies Treasure Cay, with its long crescent of white sand. Across the water, the ferries from Marsh Harbour reach Hope Town on Elbow Cay, with its striped lighthouse and pastel cottages, and Man-O-War Cay, known for its boat builders. Great Guana Cay, about seven miles long, lies further north along the Sea of Abaco. Many guests stay on one of the cays and use a boat for the rest, others take a house near Treasure Cay and drive. Either way the private jet from Miami lands at Leonard M. Thompson International, customs clears the group on arrival, and a car or a boat is ready. Tell us where you stay, and the quote shows the jet and the transfer together.
FAQ
Miami to Marsh Harbour Private Jet FAQ
How long does a private jet take from Miami to Marsh Harbour?
Private flights from Miami to Marsh Harbour take under an hour in the air by jet for the roughly 178 nautical miles, nonstop, a quick way to fly to Abaco, Bahamas. The quote states the planned time for your jet and your date.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet to Marsh Harbour?
From Miami, one way for the whole aircraft, a light jet starts from $7,200, a midsize jet from $9,700 and a heavy jet from $13,200. The final price depends on the aircraft, the date, positioning and availability.
Which airport do private jets use in Marsh Harbour?
Leonard M. Thompson International (MHH), with a paved runway of about 6,100 feet. It is an airport of entry, customs and immigration clear the group on arrival, and the ferry dock and the marinas of Marsh Harbour are a short drive away.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Marsh Harbour?
For winter weekends, spring sailing weeks, Christmas and New Year, book a few weeks ahead, as jets to the Bahamas fill early. Otherwise a few days are often enough: send the date and we check which jets are free for your Miami to Marsh Harbour 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 Marsh Harbour?
Every guest carries valid travel documents and completes the Bahamian declarations. Leonard M. Thompson International is an airport of entry, so customs and immigration clear the group when the jet lands. Customs keeps daytime hours, and we confirm the steps and the landing time before you leave Miami.
How many people fit on a private jet to Marsh Harbour?
Six in the light jet, eight in the midsize Citation Excel/XLS or the super midsize Citation Sovereign, and twelve in the heavy Challenger 650. Tell us the group and the bags, and the quote names the class that fits.
Can we bring fishing rods and dive gear?
Yes. Golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, and fishing rods and snorkel sets for the cays as well. List the bags when you write, and the quote names a jet whose hold takes them.
How do I get from the airport to my hotel in the Abacos?
A car can meet you at Leonard M. Thompson International and take you to a hotel in Marsh Harbour, to Treasure Cay or to the ferry dock for Hope Town and Man-O-War Cay. Tell us where you stay, and the car goes on the same quote as the jet.
Can we do Marsh Harbour as a day trip by private jet?
Yes. At under an hour each way, the jet can leave Miami in the morning, wait on Great Abaco and fly you home later the same day. For Hope Town, the cays and a slower pace, a few nights work 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.
