Treasure Cay Beach and marina in Abaco, Bahamas, popular with private jet travelers and yacht owners.

Private Jet Charter to Treasure Cay, Bahamas

Private jet charter to Treasure Cay starts at $8,000+ one way, with flights from South Florida averaging about 1 hour 15 to 30 minutes. Aircraft operate into Treasure Cay Airport (MYAT / TCB), whose 7,001 ft (2,134 m) Runway 14/32 supports turboprops, light jets, and midsize jets under standard conditions, with the larger categories feasible on operational review. A capable, well-paved field, it is one of the more flexible Abaco airports. Treasure Cay is a marina, golf, and beach community in northern Great Abaco, known for one of the finest beaches in the Bahamas. Hogani Jets coordinates each charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

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.

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.

Treasure Cay comfortably handles the full turboprop-through-midsize range, which covers the vast majority of charters. At over 5,000 ft with a strong PCN 35 pavement, super midsize and heavy aircraft are feasible on operational review against payload and conditions. Passenger figures shown are maximum capacity; typical configurations carry fewer.

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.

Midsize JetCitation XLS+, Hawker 800XP7-9~506-514 mph~2,100 nmLonger routes and larger groups; Northeast departures

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.

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.

Treasure Cay is a marina, golf, and beach community rather than a large-resort scene, with accommodation centred on beachfront condos and villas. Both options are on or near the celebrated Treasure Cay beach. Given the area's post-Dorian rebuilding, Hogani Jets confirms current resort and villa availability at the time of booking.

Places to Visit Around Treasure Cay

The following spots are the most requested by visitors.

  • Treasure Cay Beach: A long, curving stretch of white sand and turquoise water, regularly rated among the finest beaches in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. The signature draw.
  • Treasure Cay Marina: A full-service marina at the heart of the community, a hub for boating, fishing, and exploring the Sea of Abaco.
  • Green Turtle Cay and New Plymouth: A short ferry from near Treasure Cay, a historic loyalist settlement of pastel cottages, a classic Abaco day trip.
  • Golf at Treasure Cay: The community's golf course is a longstanding draw for the area's resort visitors.
  • The Sea of Abaco: The sheltered waters off Treasure Cay, the heart of the region's sailing and boating.

Activities That Affect Flight Planning

  • Scuba diving and reef snorkeling: FAA recommends a 24-hour interval between diving and flying. Schedule dive days at least 24 hours before departure.
  • Boating and sailing charters: Multi-day itineraries should be planned around the outbound flight date with a buffer day.
  • Golf and beach days: No flight planning impact for same-day activities.

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.

Matt's Recommendation

Treasure Cay is the easy, comfortable end of the Abacos, a real marina-and-golf community with one of the best beaches anywhere. The runway is a genuine asset: at 7,000 feet it is actually longer and stronger than Marsh Harbour, so I can bring a midsize jet straight in from the Northeast. I will be honest that the area took a hard hit from Dorian and is still rebuilding in places, so I always confirm exactly what is open before I book a client in. For golf, the marina, and that beach, plus easy access to Green Turtle Cay, it is a lovely spot.
