Key Route Highlights: Palm Beach & Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour (Abacos)

  • Just 155 nautical miles east of Palm Beach International (PBI)—a 45-minute flight
  • Gateway to Elbow Cay (Hope Town), Green Turtle Cay, Man-O-War Cay, and Baker's Bay
  • Modern 6,100-foot runway and Cherokee Aviation FBO at Marsh Harbour (MHH / MYAM)

Known across the Atlantic as the boating, sailing, and sportfishing capital of The Bahamas, the Abaco island chain lies directly east of Palm Beach County and the Florida Treasure Coast. Protected by an outer coral barrier reef and the calm, turquoise waters of the Sea of Abaco, destinations like Hope Town on Elbow Cay, Baker's Bay Golf and Ocean Club on Great Guana Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Lubbers Quarters, and Man-O-War Cay draw thousands of Florida boaters, tournament anglers, and second-home owners every season. Latitude 18 North Charter connects travelers departing West Palm Beach, Stuart, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale with spacious twin turboprops and light jets through our vetted charter partner network.

Convenient Departures from Palm Beach (PBI), Stuart (SUA), and Fort Lauderdale (FXE)

Because Great Abaco sits slightly north of New Providence along the 26th parallel, Palm Beach and Treasure Coast airports offer remarkably short overwater crossings:

  • Palm Beach International Airport (PBI): Located just 155 nautical miles west of Marsh Harbour, PBI features premier private FBO terminals including Jet Aviation, Atlantic Aviation, and Signature Aviation. Nonstop flights from PBI to Marsh Harbour take just forty to forty-five minutes from wheels-up to touchdown.
  • Witham Field in Stuart (SUA) and Boca Raton Airport (BCT): Travelers based in Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound, Stuart, Vero Beach, or Boca Raton can depart right from their neighborhood executive airfield without driving to a major commercial airport, and clear U.S. Customs right on the field upon their return.
  • Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) and Miami-Opa Locka (OPF): Positioned 165 to 180 nautical miles southwest of Marsh Harbour, FXE and OPF provide effortless access for Broward and Miami-Dade passengers with a fifty-minute flight time.

Landing at Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH / MYAM)

Your charter flight arrives at Leonard M. Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbour (IATA: MHH, ICAO: MYAM), which features a modern 6,100-foot paved asphalt runway capable of handling single and twin turboprops, light jets, and midsize business jets. Marsh Harbour is home to Cherokee Aviation, one of the finest dedicated private FBO facilities in The Bahamas. Cherokee Aviation provides its own on-site Bahamas Customs and Immigration officers, an immaculate private passenger lounge, line service, and direct ramp access. Within ten minutes of touchdown, your luggage is loaded into a waiting taxi van for the short ride to the Albury's Ferry dock or private water taxi slips serving Hope Town (Elbow Cay), Man-O-War Cay, and Great Guana Cay. For travelers visiting Green Turtle Cay or Baker's Bay in northern Abaco, operators can also coordinate arrivals via Treasure Cay Airport (TCB / MYAT) or direct private boat pickups from the Marsh Harbour waterfront.

Best Aircraft for Abaco Sportfishing and Family Trips

Abaco travelers rarely pack light—between offshore trolling rods, tackle boxes, spearfishing gear, dive bags, pets, and provisioning coolers for island cottages, cabin and baggage volume matter just as much as airspeed:

  1. Beechcraft King Air 250 / 350i and Pilatus PC-12 NGX: These pressurized turboprops are the undisputed favorites for the Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour route, carrying six to nine passengers alongside oversized fishing rod tubes, coolers, and marine spares.
  2. Embraer Phenom 300 and Citation CJ3+/CJ4: For Baker's Bay members and weekend visitors prioritizing jet speed, light jets make the PBI to MHH hop in thirty-eight minutes.
  3. Cessna Grand Caravan EX: Ideal for larger family groups of up to nine passengers traveling with dogs and heavy island supplies.
