201 Airport Rd, Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands
An island defined by its dramatic limestone bluff, hidden caves, and legendary diving.
Destination Highlights
The island is dominated by "The Bluff," a limestone outcrop rising to 140 feet that runs its length, offering stunning views and hiking trails. Divers can explore the wreck of the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts, a Russian frigate sunk as an artificial reef. Caving is also a popular activity, with over 170 caves to discover.
On-Island Basics
Cayman Brac is easy to navigate with a rental car, which is the recommended mode of transport. The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are accepted everywhere. The island has a friendly, small-town feel with a good selection of local restaurants and a few grocery stores for provisioning.
Aircraft Comfort and Options
he King Air 350i is an excellent choice for the 90-minute flight to Cayman Brac. This twin-turboprop offers a quiet, spacious, jet-like cabin with comfortable seating for up to eight passengers. Its efficiency on shorter routes and its reliable performance make it a practical and luxurious option for this direct island arrival.
When to Fly and What to Expect
The winter and spring offer the best weather for diving and outdoor activities. Bracchanal, the island's version of Carnival, is a lively event held in May. While the island is quieter than Grand Cayman, its accommodations are more limited, so booking ahead is always wise, especially for peak travel dates.
The Brac's Rugged Charm
Four sites that capture the unique spirit of adventure on this distinctive Caymanian island.
Cayman Brac Museum
Located in Stake Bay, this is the oldest museum in the Cayman Islands. Its fascinating collection of artifacts showcases the island's rich history of turtling, shipbuilding, and resilient community life through compelling historical exhibits.
The MV Captain Keith Tibbetts
A 330-foot Russian Koni II-class frigate intentionally sunk off the island's west end. Now a world-famous dive site, it is the only diveable Soviet warship in the Western Hemisphere, attracting divers of all levels.
The Bat Cave
Located on the north shore, this is one of the most accessible and popular of the island's many caves. A short walk from the road leads to a large, open cavern where visitors can observe the resident bat colony.
The Parrot Reserve
A 180-acre protected woodland that is home to the endangered Cayman Brac Parrot. A well-marked, two-mile nature trail winds through the pristine forest, offering a chance to spot this colorful, native bird in its natural habitat.
FAQs about charter flights to Cayman Brac
Can I fly directly to Cayman Brac from the U.S.?
Yes. Unlike Little Cayman, Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CYB) on Cayman Brac is an official Port of Entry for the Cayman Islands. This allows your private jet from Miami to fly non-stop and clear customs and immigration directly on the island, making for a very convenient and efficient arrival.
Is the airport on Cayman Brac able to handle jets?
Yes, the airport's 6,000-foot paved runway is well-suited for a wide range of private aircraft, including most light and midsize jets. This length provides a good performance margin for aircraft arriving on a 90-minute flight from Florida, making it a reliable and safe destination for the most popular classes of charter jets.
How does Cayman Brac compare to Grand Cayman or Little Cayman?
Cayman Brac offers a middle ground. It is more developed and accessible than the rustic Little Cayman but far quieter and more nature-focused than the cosmopolitan Grand Cayman. The Brac is the best choice for travelers who want adventure activities like hiking and caving in addition to world-class diving, with a comfortable but low-key infrastructure.
What are the private terminal (FBO) facilities like at CYB?
The FBO services at Cayman Brac are provided by the airport authority and are more modest than the large, luxurious facilities on Grand Cayman. They are, however, highly efficient and private. You will be met at your aircraft and escorted to a dedicated area for customs clearance, ensuring a quick process away from any commercial passengers.
Do I need to bring cash, or are credit cards widely accepted?
While major credit cards are accepted at hotels, dive shops, and larger restaurants, it is a good idea to have U.S. or Cayman Islands dollars on hand. Some smaller local eateries, bars, and shops may be cash-only, and cash is always useful for tipping service staff and taxi drivers.
