Ocean Reef is one of the most private leisure destinations in the country — and flyExclusive is on the ground.
Ocean Reef Club is a 2,500-acre, members-only community at the northernmost tip of Key Largo, with its own marina, golf course, and private airstrip (OCA). The community is unusually closed: there is no commercial access, and the private airstrip serves only members and authorized guests. flyExclusive maintains a dedicated sales office at Ocean Reef, supporting members and prospective members of all our programs.
The traveler profile here is distinct from the Miami or Palm Beach snowbird routes. Ocean Reef members tend to come for fishing, diving, golf, and the marina — longer stays, lighter aircraft, and less event-driven travel. Aircraft selection is genuinely runway-constrained: OCA's 4,456-foot runway favors the Citation CJ3+ and Excel/XLS, while heavier super-mids land at Kendall-Tamiami and use ground transportation we coordinate.
Common alternatives flyExclusive members ask about: New York to Miami, New York to Palm Beach, and New York to Naples. If you're an Ocean Reef member who flies to the Keys 8+ times a year, our Jet Club is typically the most efficient path.
