Landing in the Bahamas: Nassau or straight to the out islands

Nassau's Lynden Pindling is the gateway, open around the clock with two private terminals, customs on arrival and US preclearance for the return, fifteen minutes from Paradise Island and twenty from Lyford Cay and Albany. Exuma International takes midsize jets into Great Exuma and the Exuma Cays, and North Eleuthera puts Harbour Island ten minutes away by water taxi. Smaller strips on the private islands and the out islands take turboprops and light jets in daylight, so the aircraft is chosen around the runway as much as the party.

Private jet charter to the Bahamas: what it costs from each city

Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft, not per seat, in the smallest cabin that flies the leg comfortably. Flight, crew and fuel included; parking, repositioning and handling quoted once we know your dates. Where a full route page exists, the city links to it.

Miami Opa-locka to Nassau about 50 minutes Light jet $5,500

London Farnborough or Luton to Nassau about 9 and a half hours Heavy jet, one stop $94,000

Prices are to Nassau; Exuma and North Eleuthera add about twenty minutes of flying and a few hundred dollars of handling. A heavy jet from London refuels once at Shannon or Bermuda, adding about an hour; the Gulfstream G650 or Global 6000 flies it non-stop from about $125,000 and needs Nassau rather than an out-island strip.

When The Bahamas fills up

The Bahamas season runs from November to April, with the holidays and the American school breaks the busiest weeks.

  1. December to January Christmas and New Year The busiest fortnight, with Nassau parking and out-island slots booked a month ahead.
  2. February Presidents' Day and half term A short, sharp peak for family travel from the north-east.
  3. March Spring break Three weeks of steady traffic from the East Coast; light jets are the scarce resource.
  4. Easter The spring holidays The last big week of the season before the islands quieten for summer.
  5. August to October Hurricane season Quiet, cheaper and mostly fine, but plans should stay flexible.

On the ground in the Bahamas

Passport details go to the handler before you land, the car or the boat is at the private terminal, and the villa, the yacht and the fishing guide are arranged in the same conversation as the flight.

01

Immigration and customs

Customs and immigration are cleared on arrival at the FBO. Most nationalities enter visa-free for up to ninety days. Returning to the US from Nassau, you clear US preclearance before departure and land as a domestic flight.

02

Travelling with a pet

Pets travel in the cabin. The Bahamas requires an import permit applied for in advance, a veterinary health certificate and rabies vaccination; we arrange the permit with the handler.

03

The car

A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Lynden Pindling, Nassau or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet to the Bahamas cost?

It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $5,500 from Miami and about $6,000 from Palm Beach in a light jet, about $15,500 from New York in a light jet, about $19,000 from Dallas in a midsize jet, and about $94,000 from London in a heavy jet with one stop. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Which airport should I use for a private jet to the Bahamas?

Nassau's Lynden Pindling for Paradise Island, Lyford Cay, Albany and Baha Mar, and for any large cabin or a night arrival. Exuma International for Great Exuma and the Exuma Cays. North Eleuthera for Harbour Island. The private islands and the smaller out islands have their own daylight strips for turboprops and light jets. Each main airport is described above with its drive time and handling agents.

Can I charter a jet to the Bahamas the same day?

From Florida, usually yes: a light jet from Miami or Palm Beach can often depart within a few hours, and from New York or Washington the same day is realistic. From London, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times and customs notice, though we have done it faster.

How long is a private jet flight to the Bahamas?

About 50 minutes from Miami, about 55 minutes from Palm Beach, about 2 hours 20 from Washington, about 2 hours 45 from New York, about 3 hours from Dallas, and about 9 and a half hours from London with one stop. Exuma and North Eleuthera are about twenty minutes further than Nassau from the US.

Do I need a visa to land in the Bahamas by private jet?

Most nationalities enter visa-free for up to ninety days, and customs and immigration are cleared on arrival at the private terminal. Returning to the United States from Nassau you clear US preclearance before departure and land as a domestic flight; from Exuma or Eleuthera you clear on the US side. We confirm what you need when we book.

When are the Bahamas hardest to fly into?

Christmas and New Year, when Nassau parking and out-island slots are booked a month ahead; Presidents' Day weekend in February; the three weeks of spring break in March; and Easter. On those dates we book the parking with the flight and hold Exuma or Nassau as the alternative to the busiest strip.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
