About an hour and forty minutes from Opa-locka to the private terminal at Providenciales, then ten to twenty minutes by car to Grace Bay. Indicative one way from $9,500 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
Opa-locka to Providenciales is 505 nautical miles, 581 statute miles, south-east down the length of the Bahamas. Every cabin flies it non-stop in under two hours, so the aircraft is chosen for the party and the luggage; a light jet is enough for a couple or a family of four.
Leave Opa-locka at 10 am and you land at Providenciales before noon, cleared and at a villa on Grace Bay for lunch. That makes a long weekend easy from Miami: out on Thursday or Friday, back on Sunday afternoon, with the aircraft parked on the island or flying home empty in between.
Providenciales is the arrival for almost every trip: Grace Bay, Turtle Cove, Long Bay and Amanyara are ten to twenty minutes away. South Caicos, about 45 nm further east, takes light and midsize jets for the newer resorts on that island and saves the short connecting flight or boat.
Which Miami airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in Miami: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Leaving Miami there is nothing to clear: the operator files the passenger manifest with US Customs and Border Protection before departure, and the aircraft leaves from the private terminal like a domestic flight. On landing at Providenciales the Turks and Caicos authorities clear passports and bags in the private terminal, usually in minutes; the handler has the passport details in advance.
Coming home is an international arrival in the United States, so the aircraft lands first at an airport with US customs. Opa-locka's customs is open from 9 am to midnight, Fort Lauderdale Executive's from 8 am to 11.30 pm, and Miami International's around the clock. Passengers are cleared at the FBO and walk to the car; for most nationalities that means a passport and an ESTA or visa, and for US citizens a passport.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; handling at Providenciales, parking, departure taxes and any positioning are quoted separately once we know your dates.
Many Miami aircraft fly to the islands empty to collect a return, so a round trip, with the aircraft waiting or coming back for you, can cost less than two one-way flights.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Indicative one way, from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | Phenom 300, Citation CJ3 | 6 to 7 | 1h 45m | $9,500 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP | 7 to 8 | 1h 40m | $12,000 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Praetor 600 | 8 to 9 | 1h 35m | $15,000 |
| Heavy jet | Legacy 650, Challenger 605 | 9 to 13 | 1h 30m | $22,000 |
Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative, reviewed November 2026. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Prices are for Opa-locka to Providenciales. Miami International, Fort Lauderdale Executive and South Caicos are quoted on the same basis; South Caicos takes light and midsize jets.
Miami's private traffic splits between Opa-locka, which is fast and close, and Miami International, which is closer still and handles the largest aircraft. Fort Lauderdale serves the northern half of the coast.

| Miami Beach, Bal Harbour and Aventura | Opa-locka (OPF) | Miami's busiest private airport, about 30 minutes from Miami Beach, with customs on the field for the return. |
| Brickell and Downtown | Miami International (MIA) | About six miles from Brickell, with customs around the clock for a late return. |
| Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton | Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) | Saves the drive south, with customs from 8 am to 11.30 pm. |

Drive times are our indicative estimates; we plan the car around your landing.
A light jet such as the Phenom 300 suits up to six for a long weekend, with room for soft bags. A family with a week's luggage, or a group with dive or golf kit, moves up to a midsize jet like the Hawker 800XP or a super-midsize Challenger 350; a heavy jet suits a larger party or staff travelling with the family.
Six or seven seats and about an hour and three-quarters to Providenciales or South Caicos.
See the Phenom 300Seven to nine seats, a stand-up cabin and room for a week's luggage: the Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, Challenger 350 or Praetor 600.
See the Hawker 800XPNine to thirteen seats for a larger party, about an hour and a half to Providenciales.
See the Legacy 650Turks and Caicos has a short high season and a handful of weeks when Grace Bay's villas and the airport's parking are full.
The return leaves Providenciales or South Caicos and takes about the same time. Providenciales is not open around the clock, so the flight home leaves in its operating hours, and it lands at a Florida airport with customs open on arrival: Opa-locka until midnight, Miami International at any hour.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving, the first days of January and the end of spring break are the busiest departures from the island, and parking at Providenciales fills on those weeks, so we book the return with the outbound.

About 1 hour 40 minutes from Opa-locka to Providenciales, and about 1 hour 45 stand to stand in a light jet. Grace Bay is then ten to twenty minutes by car.
On arrival in Providenciales, yes: customs and immigration are cleared in the private terminal. Leaving Miami there is nothing to clear. On the way back the aircraft lands at a Florida airport with US customs, such as Opa-locka or Miami International, and you are cleared at the FBO.
Yes, in a light or midsize jet and in daylight. South Caicos clears customs on arrival and is five to ten minutes from the resorts there; a larger cabin lands at Providenciales.
Yes, in the cabin. The islands require a veterinary health certificate, a rabies vaccination and an import permit applied for in advance; we arrange it with the handler. Returning to the US, a dog also needs the CDC's import form.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.
