Private Jet Charter to Treasure Cay, Bahamas

Treasure Cay is a marina, golf, and beach community on northern Great Abaco, built around one of the most celebrated beaches in the Bahamas. It is a resort-and-residential enclave rather than a town, popular with boaters, golfers, and beach travelers, and a natural gateway to the northern Abaco cays. With a capable airport and a short hop from South Florida, it is one of the more straightforward Abaco destinations to reach by private jet.

A Capable Northern Abaco Gateway

Unlike the short-runway cays, Treasure Cay's 7,001 ft runway accepts turboprops, light jets, and midsize jets under standard conditions, with the larger categories feasible on operational review. This makes it a flexible entry point for the north of Great Abaco and the surrounding cays, and a strong alternative to Marsh Harbour for clients headed to the northern settlements.

Marina, Golf, and One of the Best Beaches in the Bahamas

Treasure Cay is best known for its long, curving white-sand beach, regularly rated among the finest in the Caribbean, along with a full-service marina and a golf course. The community is geared to boating and resort life, drawing repeat visitors and second-home owners who value the calm, low-density character.

Gateway to the Northern Abaco Cays

Treasure Cay is the practical jumping-off point for Green Turtle Cay and the northern Abaco settlements, reached by a short ferry or boat transfer. A Hogani Jets itinerary coordinates the flight with the onward transfer so the whole journey flows as one.

Treasure Cay is served by a single airport, with Marsh Harbour as the larger regional alternative about 20 miles south when needed.

Treasure Cay Airport is served by Treasure Cay Jet Service for ground handling, with customs and immigration on site during daytime hours. Hogani Jets coordinates fuel and handling ahead of each flight; Marsh Harbour's Cherokee Aviation is the alternate handler 20 miles south.

Yes. Private jets fly nonstop into Treasure Cay from South Florida, Nassau, and the Northeast. The Bahamas requires a valid passport; U.S. citizens need no visa for stays under 8 months. Customs and immigration are processed on arrival at Treasure Cay during daytime hours.

Nonstop Routes Into Treasure Cay (MYAT)

• Miami and Fort Lauderdale: approximately 1 hour 15 to 30 minutes by turboprop or light jet. The primary departure market.
• Nassau: approximately 45 to 60 minutes by turboprop, the common inter-island leg.
• New York and the Northeast: approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours by light or midsize jet.
  Treasure Cay's 7,001 ft runway makes direct routing the norm. Unlike the short-runway cays, midsize jets from the Northeast can usually fly straight in without an alternate-airport plan.

Treasure Cay operates a 7,001 ft (2,134 m) asphalt runway (14/32) with a strong pavement rating. At well over 5,000 ft it accommodates turboprops, light jets, and midsize jets under standard conditions, with super midsize and heavy jets feasible on operational review. This is a more flexible profile than most Abaco and Exuma fields.

Flight Logistics and Arrival Planning

Treasure Cay is an international arrival with customs on site during daytime hours. Planning is straightforward thanks to the capable runway and direct settlement access, though the onward ferry to Green Turtle Cay and the northern cays is coordinated as part of the itinerary. Pre-departure documentation and arrival handling are arranged ahead of each flight through the Part 135 operators Hogani Jets works with.

• Passengers clear customs and immigration at Treasure Cay, then continue by short ground transfer to the resort, marina, or ferry point.
• Green Turtle Cay and the northern Abaco settlements are reached by a short ferry from near Treasure Cay; transfer timing is built into the plan.
• Marsh Harbour, about 20 miles south, is the alternate when routing or aircraft favour it.
• A valid passport is mandatory. No visa required for U.S. citizens on stays under 8 months.

Treasure Cay's capable runway allows a broad aircraft pool. Cruise speead is included below as a planning reference. Turboprops suit the short South Florida and Nassau hops; light and midsize jets cover longer routes and larger groups.

Because Treasure Cay accepts midsize jets, groups travelling with golf clubs, sailing, or dive gear have more cabin and baggage flexibility here than at the short-runway cays. Confirm payload at booking for fully loaded longer-range flights.

Treasure Cay charter traffic is led by South Florida, with steady demand from Nassau and the Northeast tied to the Abaco season. All routes operate into MYAT, with onward ferry to the northern cays where needed.

Private jet charter to Treasure Cay starts at $6,000+ one way for a turboprop from Nassau, with direct turboprop and light jet charters from South Florida starting around $9,000+. Larger jets from the Northeast route in directly thanks to the capable runway. All prices are starting points; the final quote reflects the specific aircraft and schedule.

Prices reflect standard one-way charter starting rates including flight time, repositioning, fuel, crew, taxes, and international handling fees. The onward ferry to the northern cays is coordinated separately. Final pricing depends on the specific aircraft, date, and availability.

Hourly Charter Rates by Aircraft Category

One-way charter prices include flight time plus repositioning, fuel, crew, taxes, and international handling fees. The hourly rates below show the underlying cost per flight hour for each aircraft category. These rates are standard across Hogani Jets routes.

Pricing Factors Specific to Treasure Cay

• The capable 7,001 ft runway keeps pricing relatively stable, since most aircraft can route direct without alternate-airport planning.
• International handling fees at MYAT apply on arrival and departure, typically adding $500 to $1,000 to the total trip cost.
• Peak Abaco season (December through April) tightens availability and raises rates; book earlier in these windows.
• South Florida departures carry low repositioning exposure given the short distance; Northeast routes carry more.

Treasure Cay operates year-round, with the Abaco season and weather shaping demand.

• Peak season (December through April): Best weather and highest demand, overlapping prime boating and beach months. Book 2 to 6 weeks ahead, more for holidays.
• Boating and golf season: Steady demand through the cooler, drier months; confirm dates for events when planning.
• Shoulder season (May and November): Favorable conditions with pricing below peak. A strong value window.
• Hurricane season (June through October): Meaningful weather risk, particularly August and September. Treasure Cay and the northern Abacos were significantly affected by Hurricane Dorian in 2019 and some inventory has been rebuilding since, so confirm current resort status when planning; flexible scheduling is important during peak months.

This guide is written for travelers arriving by private jet. The focus is on the arrival sequence, where to stay, and the marina, golf, and beach experiences that define Treasure Cay.

Where to Stay at Treasure Cay

Treasure Cay is a resort-and-marina community, and its accommodation centres on the beach, the marina, and self-catering villas and condos. The two options below are the leading choices for charter clients. Note that the area was significantly affected by Hurricane Dorian in 2019 and some properties have been rebuilding, so Hogani Jets confirms current availability and status at booking.

Activities That Affect Flight Planning

Practical Considerations

Treasure Cay uses the Bahamian dollar, pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, so no currency exchange is required. The community is compact and easily covered by golf cart, car, or on foot, with boats and ferries for the cays. Cell coverage is reliable in the main areas. Medical facilities handle routine cases, with serious events requiring transfer to Nassau. Note that some services are still recovering from Hurricane Dorian, so confirm current availability when planning.
