Private Jet Miami to Bahamas

Charter a Private Jet from Miami to the Bahamas

Miami to the Bahamas is one of the shortest international private jet routes flown from the United States. Nassau takes the majority of arrivals, with Exuma, North Eleuthera and Marsh Harbour serving the out islands. Demand is concentrated almost entirely in the winter season, running from November through to March, with very little traffic outside it.

A private jet from Miami to Nassau takes around 45 minutes, covering roughly 160 nautical miles (185 miles). Out island legs run longer, with Exuma the furthest of the three at around an hour. Prices start from around $7,500 one way, and because this is an international flight, customs and immigration clearance at both ends is arranged as part of the booking rather than left to you.

Miami Private Jet Airports

Miami-Opa Locka Executive handles the majority of private jet flights in Miami. It sits 10 miles north of downtown, is dedicated entirely to private and corporate aviation, and clears international departures without the queues that come with a commercial field.

• Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF): the departure point for most charters on this route, 10 miles north of downtown with multiple FBOs and capacity for every aircraft category flying to the Bahamas.
• Miami Executive Airport (TMB): 13 miles southwest of downtown, the shorter drive from Kendall, Coral Gables and the southern suburbs.
• Miami International Airport (MIA): 8 miles northwest of downtown, worth considering when connecting from a commercial arrival, though handling sits within commercial operations.

Bahamas Private Jet Airports

The airport is decided by the island, not by preference. These are separate destinations across an archipelago, so the field you fly into is the one serving where you are staying.

• Lynden Pindling International (NAS), New Providence: Nassau and Paradise Island, 10 miles west of the city. The largest airport in the Bahamas and the arrival for most charters.
• Exuma International (GGT), Great Exuma: Georgetown and the southern Exuma cays.
• North Eleuthera (ELH): Harbour Island and northern Eleuthera, with a short boat transfer to Harbour Island itself.
• Marsh Harbour (MHH), Abaco: the Abacos, including Elbow Cay and Great Guana Cay.

Governor’s Harbour (GHB) in central Eleuthera and Treasure Cay (TCB) in the northern Abacos serve destinations beyond these, and aircraft choice narrows as the runways get shorter.

Popular Aircraft for Miami to the Bahamas Charter Flights

At under an hour, the flight itself asks very little of an aircraft. What decides the choice is where you are landing and how many of you there are.

The PC-12 and the King Air are the aircraft flown most often on this route, and both earn their place on short field performance rather than speed. They handle the out island runways at Exuma, North Eleuthera and Marsh Harbour comfortably, and they take six to eight passengers with luggage for a week.

The Hawker 400XP is the light jet alternative for Nassau, where the runway is long enough to take anything. It seats seven and cuts the flight time, though on a leg this short the saving is modest.
