Private Jet to Miami
A private jet to Miami puts you on the ground at Opa-locka Executive, about 20 minutes from South Beach, Brickell and Coral Gables, with no terminal lines. Miami runs on a busy calendar: Art Basel in December, the boat show in February, Miami Music Week in March and the Formula 1 Grand Prix in May. Altrove Jets sources the right aircraft from FAA-certificated operators, arranges the FBO and ground transport, and can add a yacht day on Biscayne Bay or a short hop to the Bahamas.

Itinerary
Why fly private to Miami
Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is a dedicated general aviation airport about 20 minutes from South Beach and Brickell, so you avoid the queues and curb traffic of Miami International, even on busy event weekends.
Miami's big weeks, from Art Basel and the boat show to Miami Music Week and the Grand Prix, fill commercial flights and hotels early. A private charter leaves on your schedule and keeps the whole group together.
South Florida is built for multi-stop trips. Palm Beach, Key West and Nassau are each under an hour away by jet, so one itinerary can cover the city, the island and the beach.
Miami is the hub for travelers arriving from Latin America. We coordinate international arrivals, customs at the FBO and onward domestic legs, so a trip from Bogotá or Mexico City continues without a terminal change.
Warm weather means there is no real off-season. Demand peaks in winter and around events, but aircraft can be sourced year-round, and a same-day New York round trip is routine for business travelers.
Airports and FBOs
Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is the usual arrival for South Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. It sits north of the city, about 20 minutes from most addresses, and is a dedicated general aviation airport. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) serves Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach and the Broward coast, and is a useful alternative when OPF is busy. Palm Beach International (PBI) covers Palm Beach Island, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Wellington. Miami International (MIA) also has FBO service, but most private flights use OPF.
Flying home or onward from Miami
Departures leave from OPF, FXE or PBI depending on your destination and aircraft. The Miami to New York corridor is one of the busiest in the country, so empty legs come up often. Nassau, Turks & Caicos, St. Barts via St. Maarten and the Dominican Republic are short flights from OPF, and we can link several stops into one itinerary managed by a single advisor.
What we arrange in Miami
Event-week planning
For Art Basel, the boat show and the Grand Prix we confirm aircraft and FBO handling early. Hospitality, passes and restaurant tables can be arranged on request, subject to availability.
Biscayne Bay yacht days
Day charters, sunset cruises and multi-day Bahamas trips from Miami Beach and Coconut Grove, arranged by Altrove's yacht charter team alongside your flight.
Caribbean extensions
Nassau, the Exumas and Turks & Caicos are short flights from OPF. We build Miami-plus-island itineraries as one booking, with customs coordinated on every leg.
Waterfront villas and hotels
Staffed estates on Star Island and the Venetian Islands, or suites at South Beach hotels, booked on request to match your arrival time and group size.
Ground transport
Chauffeured SUVs and Sprinter vans meet the aircraft at the FBO, so your car is waiting planeside when the cabin door opens and the bags go straight in.
Make it a jet and yacht weekend
Our sister brand Altrove Yachts arranges crewed yachts in Miami and beyond, so one team plans the flight and the time on the water.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best private jet airport for Miami?
Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is the usual choice for South Beach, Brickell and Coral Gables. It is about 20 minutes from most Miami addresses and far less congested than Miami International. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) suits Broward County, and Palm Beach International (PBI) is better for Palm Beach and Boca Raton.
How long is a private jet from New York to Miami?
From Teterboro (TEB) or White Plains (HPN) to Opa-locka (OPF), flight time is usually about 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on winds and aircraft. A midsize or super-midsize jet is the most common choice, with a comfortable cabin, Wi-Fi on many aircraft and room for luggage.
How much does a private jet to Miami cost?
The price depends on where you start, the size of the jet, the season and whether you fly one way or round trip; event weeks such as Art Basel cost more. See the market estimate on this page for a guide. Your quote confirms the exact price for your dates.
Can I fly from Miami to the Bahamas by private jet?
Yes. Nassau is around 40 minutes from Opa-locka, and the Exumas and Harbour Island are about an hour. You need a valid passport. We coordinate the international flight planning, APIS passenger filing and customs with the operator and the FBOs on both ends.
When is the busiest time to fly private to Miami?
Winter is high season, and event weeks are the tightest: Art Basel usually in early December, the boat show in February, Miami Music Week in March and the Formula 1 Grand Prix usually in early May. For these dates, booking several weeks ahead gives you more aircraft to choose from.
Can I combine Miami, Palm Beach and the Bahamas in one trip?
Yes. A common plan is to land at OPF for Miami, reposition to PBI for Palm Beach, then continue to Nassau or the Exumas before flying home. One advisor handles every leg, the timing between stops and customs for the international sectors.
