Flying private to the Bahamas

Nassau is the main gateway, for Paradise Island, Cable Beach and the city, and takes every size of business jet. From South Florida it is a short flight in a light jet; from New York a midsize or super midsize flies it non-stop.

The out islands have their own airports. Exuma International near George Town serves Great Exuma and the cays; North Eleuthera is the airport for Harbour Island, a few minutes across the water by boat. Some out-island airports have short runways or operate in daylight only, so the operator checks the aircraft against each one.

You clear Bahamas customs and immigration at the first airport of entry. On the way home you clear US Customs at the first US airport you land at, usually in Florida; the operator files the passenger lists for both countries in advance.

Can a jet land?

Yes. Nassau takes every size of business jet, and Exuma and North Eleuthera take many. Some smaller out-island strips suit turboprops only, or daylight landings, which we check for your aircraft before we quote.

North Eleuthera to Harbour Island is a short water taxi ride; for the smaller cays, a boat, seaplane or turboprop makes the last hop.
