Under three hours from Teterboro to Nassau, then fifteen minutes to Paradise Island or Lyford Cay. Customs on arrival, US preclearance for the return, and light jets do it comfortably.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
New York to Nassau is 1,100 miles, which a light jet flies non-stop in about three hours and a midsize cabin faster still. Leave Teterboro after breakfast and you are at Lyford Cay or Albany for lunch.
Nassau's two private terminals clear customs on arrival in minutes, and the drive to Paradise Island is fifteen. For the out islands, Exuma and North Eleuthera have customs and runways long enough for midsize jets, which puts Harbour Island and the Exuma Cays within a short boat ride of the aircraft.
The return is easier still: Nassau has US preclearance, so you land in New York as a domestic flight and walk straight to the car.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking in the Bahamas, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A round trip with the aircraft waiting in Nassau for a few days is usually the better value. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.

Out-island runways suit light and midsize jets; heavy jets land at Nassau.
Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.
The busiest private airport on the East Coast. Aircraft above 100,000 lb are not permitted, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary curfew 11 pm to 6 am; customs by prior arrangement.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs on site. Curfew on movements between midnight and 6.30 am.
Full customs and immigration and no weight limit. The choice for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Full customs, no weight limit and often easier slots than JFK. Useful when Teterboro is closed by weather or a security restriction.
Nassau's Lynden Pindling is the main gateway, fifteen minutes from Paradise Island and twenty from Lyford Cay and Albany. Exuma and North Eleuthera put the out islands within a short boat ride.
Flying private to the Bahamas from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Two private terminals, customs on arrival and US preclearance for the return. Open around the clock; handles up to large-cabin jets.
Customs on arrival and a runway long enough for midsize jets. The gateway to the Exuma Cays and the private islands.
Light and midsize jets, daytime operations, customs on arrival. Harbour Island is a short boat ride across the bay.
A light or midsize cabin flies New York to Nassau comfortably and suits the out islands, whose runways are shorter. A super-midsize or heavy cabin works for a larger party or heavier luggage into Nassau. The Learjet 55 in our fleet covers most trips.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Phenom 300.
Six or seven seats, three hours. The Learjet 55 in our fleet, or a Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 from a New York operator.
See the Learjet 55Eight or nine seats with room for luggage; the usual proposal for a family week in Lyford Cay or on Harbour Island.
See the fleetTwelve to fourteen seats into Nassau for a larger party. The Legacy 650 in our fleet flies it in about two and a half hours.
See the Legacy 650The Bahamas season runs from November to April, with the holidays and the American school breaks the busiest weeks.
The return leaves from Nassau, Exuma or North Eleuthera and lands at Teterboro, Westchester, JFK or Newark. From Nassau you clear US preclearance before departure and land as a domestic flight; from the out islands, customs is cleared on arrival in New York. Allow about two hours forty-five northbound.
In the Christmas fortnight and over spring break, Nassau's parking and the out-island slots are the scarce resources, and we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $15,500 in a light jet; about $18,500 in a midsize jet; about $23,000 in a super-midsize jet; about $32,000 in a heavy jet. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 2 hours 45 flight time for the cabins shown on this page, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty. Into the Bahamas: Lynden Pindling, Nassau, Exuma International and North Eleuthera. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.
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.
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.
