Private Jet Charter from Miami to the Bahamas: Every Island, Every Budget

The Bahamas isn't just one destination it's over 700 islands, each with its own character. From the busy energy of Nassau to the seclusion of Exuma's swimming pigs, the Out Islands of Eleuthera, and the ultra-luxury of Harbour Island, the Bahamas is best explored by private jet. Fly Business Aviation operates Miami–Bahamas charters to Nassau, Exuma, Eleuthera, Staniel Cay, and beyond.

Miami to Bahamas: Island-by-Island Guide

Nassau (NAS): 184 miles, 45 minutes. The classic Bahamas gateway. Exuma (GGT): 330 miles, 55 minutes. Home to the famous swimming pigs and the Sandals Royal Bahamian. Eleuthera / Harbour Island (ELH): 200 miles, 50 minutes. Pink sand beaches and some of the most beautiful boutique hotels in the Caribbean. Staniel Cay (TYM): 260 miles, under 1 hour. The heart of the Exuma Cays, preferred by yacht owners and those seeking total seclusion. Marsh Harbour, Abaco (MHH): 225 miles, 50 minutes. Gateway to the Abaco Islands and world-class sport fishing.

Why the Out Islands Require Private Aviation

Most Bahamian Out Island airports only accept small to midsize aircraft and have no commercial service from Miami. Getting to Staniel Cay, Harbour Island, or Exuma's more remote areas by commercial means requires flying to Nassau and then taking a small island hopper or a ferry, adding 3-5 hours to your journey. By private jet, you fly direct to your destination island. Fly Business Aviation's Hawker series can access most Out Island runways with the right planning.

Fleet Options for Bahamas Charters

For Nassau and the major islands: the Gulfstream G200 offers the largest cabin in our fleet (up to 10 passengers) and is well-suited to Lynden Pindling International. For Out Island airports with shorter runways, the Hawker 800A or 800XP are excellent choices — both are certified for the approaches these airports require. Our dispatch team confirms runway suitability before every trip.

Pricing for Miami to Bahamas Private Jet Charters

Because these are short flights, the Bahamas represents some of the most accessible private jet pricing available. Nassau one-way charters start around $6,000. Out Island destinations typically run $8,000–$15,000 one-way depending on aircraft and destination. Round-trip packages offer the best value and ensure an aircraft is available for your return. We also frequently have empty legs on the Miami–Bahamas corridor ask us about current availability for significant savings.
