The Route
Charter Flights from Miami to Baha Mar
Baha Mar sits on Cable Beach on New Providence, a little over 160 nautical miles of open water from Miami. Every aircraft we fly lands at Lynden Pindling in Nassau, and from there the resort is ten minutes west by car. So the choice is not whether you can get there, it is which way suits your party, your bags and the hour you want to be on the sand. A family with bags, a couple going for lunch and a golf group will not pick the same one, and that is fine.
Charter flights from Miami to Baha Mar are private: the whole aircraft is yours and nobody else is on board. You name the hour, we set the aircraft, the crew and the field it leaves from, and both border filings are ours. Your party brings passports and a bag, per the travel documents guidance.
Four aircraft fly this route and each has its own page: a seaplane to Nassau, a small plane to Lynden Pindling, a helicopter with glass on every side and a private jet. The choice right below this block shows you the difference in one look, and if you are still unsure, ask us: we quote them side by side for your date.

How It Works
How Private Charter Flights from Miami to Bahamas Work
Private charter flights from Miami follow the same six steps, whatever the aircraft. Here is what every one of them includes, from the first message to the moment you are on the beach.
Plan Your Baha Mar CharterDistance and Aircraft
A Little Over 160 Nautical Miles, Four Ways to Fly
Miami to Baha Mar is about 185 statute miles, a little over 160 nautical, almost all of it open water. How long it takes in the air depends on the aircraft: the seaplane is about an hour, the others come back with the quote. Either way the flight is the short part of the day.
The Whole Aircraft
One Party on Board and No Seats Sold
Every flight on this page is a charter, so the cabin is yours and the departure time is the one you give us. That is the difference to a scheduled seat, and it holds for all four aircraft. A larger party simply flies a larger aircraft or a second one, and the party still travels on one booking.
Where Each One Lands
One Runway in Nassau for Every Aircraft
There is no authorised water landing area in Nassau Harbour at present, so even the seaplane comes down on the runway at Lynden Pindling. The small plane and the jet land there too, and the helicopter clears at the same border desk. From the ramp a car takes you to Baha Mar on Cable Beach.
Both Borders
Passports, the Manifest and Both Borders Filed for You
Nassau is the busiest port of entry in the Bahamas, so every aircraft clears where it lands and flies straight in. Passengers carry a passport, children included, and everything else sits on our side. What counts as valid is in the travel documents guidance.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, Transfers and Occasions Set Up With the Flight
Whatever the day is for is organised before you leave: catering on board, a car waiting on the ramp, flowers for a birthday. A proposal or an anniversary is planned into the flight as a custom experience rather than around it.
How Long the Day Runs
Same-Day Return or Several Nights at Baha Mar
Most parties fly over in the morning and home the same evening, and the aircraft waits while you are at the resort. Staying longer is the same booking with a later return. Weather and delays is the only thing that moves the plan.
Departure Points
Departure Points for Private Flights to Baha Mar from Miami
Where your flight leaves from follows the aircraft you pick and where your party is staying. These are the four fields we use around Miami for a flight to the islands. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami, a general aviation field in the south west of the county, and the easy start for a small plane or a helicopter. Parking sits close to the ramp, so the walk to the aircraft is short. Pick it when your party is staying south or west of downtown.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
Opa-locka Executive in the north west, with private terminal handling for every aircraft on this page, a private jet included. Most flights to the islands are dispatched from here, and a return from the Bahamas can clear US customs in the same place. If nothing else decides it, this is where the day begins.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
Miami International as a pickup, for a party arriving on an airline that wants to go straight on to the island. Set up flight by flight and confirmed with the operator before the quote. Allow extra ground time, because a big commercial airport keeps its own pace.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, for a party staying in Broward or further north. It has its own federal inspection station, so a return from the islands can clear there too. The aircraft comes to you rather than you driving south to it.
How to Book

Booking a flight takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Baha Mar Charter- 01
Contact Us
Write to us on WhatsApp or by email. Send your dates, how many guests, where you are coming from and which aircraft you have in mind, or tell us you are not sure yet. Tell us the hour you would like to leave and whether you come back the same day. That is all we need to start.
- 02
Get the Options Back
We check what is free on your date and send the aircraft that fit your party, side by side: seats, bags, time in the air and the price of each. That is usually where the choice makes itself: a light party in a hurry points one way, a load of golf bags or a windy forecast the other.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You pick the aircraft, and we fix the departure point and the car on the ramp in Nassau. Then everything around the flight: catering on board, ground transport to Cable Beach, flowers if the day is a special one. You approve it, you pay, and the boarding time comes back to you.
- 04
Be There 30 Minutes Before
There is no terminal queue on a charter. Arrive half an hour before the time we sent, walk to the aircraft with your bags and take off.
On the Island
Where Charter Flights Miami to Baha Mar Put You Down
Every aircraft on this page puts you down at Lynden Pindling in Nassau, and from there Baha Mar is about six miles west along the coast. Below is what waits at each step, from the ramp to the sand, and what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your Baha Mar CharterLynden Pindling for Runway Aircraft
Wheels Down
The small plane and the jet arrive at Lynden Pindling International on New Providence, the principal airport of entry for the country, and park on the general aviation ramp rather than at an airline gate. Customs and immigration are in the same building, so the formalities happen where you step out, usually in minutes, since the crew filed everything before departure. The officers keep daytime hours, so a morning flight is the easier one. Tell us at the enquiry if anyone travels on a passport other than a United States one. A car is waiting on the ramp if you booked ground transport, and the aircraft stays parked there for your return. On a day trip that means the same short walk back in the evening and no check-in at all.
The Seaplane Lands in Nassau Too
On the Runway
A seaplane does not set down off Cable Beach. Every water landing in the Bahamas is approved one place at a time, and there is no authorised landing area in Nassau Harbour at present. So the amphibious gear comes down on the runway at Nassau, where customs already are, and the rest of the day runs exactly as it does for the wheels. The crossing itself is what you book it for, and the details are on the seaplane from Miami to Baha Mar page. The trade is daylight. A seaplane lands on water at the Miami end only between sunrise and sunset, so the latest departure for your date comes back with the quote rather than on the day.
West Bay Street to Cable Beach
Ten Minutes
The resort is about six miles west of the airport. Baha Mar puts the drive at ten minutes, and with traffic on the Cable Beach strip it can be twelve to fifteen. The first half runs inland past the roundabouts and the second half comes out on the coast, so the last few minutes are water on one side. A car through ground transport waits on the ramp, so the flight and the drive are one movement. The helicopter clears at the same border desk on New Providence first. Whether anything closer to the resort is possible after that depends on the permissions on the day, and it is settled with the operator when you book.
Cable Beach and the Baha Mar Grounds
Where the Hotels Are
Baha Mar sits on Cable Beach, a long stretch of sand on the north shore where the water shelves gently and stays shallow a long way out. The property runs to about a thousand acres and carries three hotels. The rooms, the restaurants, the pools and the golf all sit inside one boundary, so nobody has to organise transport between them. What there is to do once you are there is covered on the Baha Mar destination page. If you want a table waiting when you land, add a fly and dine day, and anything unusual goes to custom requests. For a day trip, the beach, a pool and lunch fit easily between the morning flight and the evening one. Longer stays pick one of the three hotels, and the car from the ramp drops you at its door.
Flying Over the Reef
Seen From Above
The crossing is the best part of the flight. The deep blue of the Gulf Stream breaks into the pale banks on the Bahamian side, and from a low flying aircraft you see the reef, the sandbars and the flats clearly on a sunny morning. The colour of the water is the view the whole way, and it is one of the reasons people ask for scenic flights on the way over. Ask the crew to come in low over the water if the day allows, and have a camera ready for the approach along the north shore of New Providence.
Baha Bay and the Pools
With Children
Baha Bay is a fifteen-acre water park on the beach side of the property, and it is the single most common reason a family books this end of the island. Because it sits inside the resort, a day there costs nobody a taxi, and there are more than fifteen pools across the grounds besides. A beach picnic on a quieter stretch of sand fits into the same afternoon. On a day trip a family can land in the morning, spend the day between the water park and the beach and be back in Miami for the evening.
Bags, Golf Clubs and Payload by Aircraft
What Each One Carries
What you can bring is a question of weight, and every aircraft answers it differently. Floats carry less than wheels, a helicopter less again, and a jet the most. Royal Blue, the resort's eighteen-hole course, is the reason many parties bring clubs. Tell us at the enquiry how many sets are coming and the right aircraft comes back with the quote. The baggage guidance explains the trade between passengers and weight. Anything bigger than luggage travels as island logistics instead. The simple rule: the more you carry, the more the runway aircraft make sense, and the lighter you travel, the more the view decides it.
Onward Through the Bahamas From Nassau
Domestic After Nassau
Baha Mar also works as the first stop of a longer trip. Once you have cleared in at Nassau, every leg after it stays inside the Bahamas. The same charter can carry on to Harbour Island, Andros, Staniel Cay and the Exumas or across the bridge to Nassau and Paradise Island. That is how one resort becomes island hopping or a Bahamas day. The ready-made version of a single day is the Baha Mar getaway day trip, and the rest of the islands are on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Flights from Miami to Baha Mar: What to Know Before You Fly
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind flights from Miami to Baha Mar: what the crossing looks like, who sets the hour, who files the border and what people fly over to mark. Other flights to the Bahamas work the same way, shorter or further.
Miami to Baha Mar Charter Flights: Four Ways Over the Gulf Stream
The same hundred and sixty miles of water seen from four aircraft
The crossing is not dead time between two airports, whichever aircraft you take. Leaving the coast, the water turns from harbour green to the deep blue of the Gulf Stream, and on the far side the banks come up pale and turquoise in long lines. How you see it depends on the aircraft. A seaplane and a helicopter stay low enough to read the water, and the helicopter has glass on every side. A small plane gives everybody a window. A private jet climbs over the weather and turns the crossing into a short hop. On a clear morning the colour of the water is the whole view, from the stream to the shallows on the Bahamian side. That is why charter flights to Baha Mar from Miami double as scenic flights for anybody sitting by a window. The approach to New Providence runs along the north shore, and Cable Beach is the long pale strip west of the city. Nobody on board has to lean over a stranger to see it, because the whole cabin belongs to your party. An afternoon return shows the same water in a lower light, so the way home is a second view, not a repeat.
Private Flights to Baha Mar from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a charter flight to Baha Mar
Private flights to Baha Mar from Miami have no timetable. The day is built around the hour you name, not around a departure board. You pick the hour you want to lift off, the hour you want to be at the resort and the one you want to be home, and the whole plan is built backwards from those three times. The aircraft is held for your party, so a change a few days before is a message to us. Half an hour before departure is the whole check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, the bags go on in front of you and the only names on the list are yours. The same freedom holds on the way back. If lunch runs long or the pool is too good to leave, the aircraft waits, and the hour home moves with you instead of a gate closing on you. A day trip and a long weekend at the resort are planned the same way: three times from you, one aircraft held for your party and nobody else's schedule anywhere in the day. A morning departure puts you on Cable Beach before the heat builds, and an evening return has you back in Miami for dinner. Every hour in between belongs to your party and to nobody else.
Miami to Baha Mar Flights: The Crew Handles Both Borders
Passports are all your party carries on a Baha Mar crossing
Miami to Baha Mar flights cross an international border twice in one day, and that is the part that goes wrong when nobody prepares it. The Bahamas asks for a declaration filed from Florida, clearance at a port of entry on arrival and a US return filed before you head home. Nassau is the busiest port of entry in the country, so no aircraft on this page has to stop anywhere else first. The crew files all of it. Your party carries a valid passport and nothing else, children included, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel is in the baggage guidance. A name added or dropped before the day is a message to us, and a departure moved by weather runs under the weather and delays policy. Coming home works the same way in reverse. The return is filed before you leave the island, and the aircraft lands where the United States can clear you, which is part of the plan we send with the quote. None of this is paperwork your party fills in at a counter. The passport list is all we need from you, and we send it on with the filings before the day, so nothing waits for you at the desk. If a detail changes on the day, the crew updates the filing.
Charter Flights Miami to Baha Mar: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate at Baha Mar
Most people who fly over mark something. Charter flights Miami to Baha Mar are booked for a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary or a weekend away with the people who matter, and the flight is short enough that the occasion stays the point of the day. Some parties fly over for the day and are home for dinner, others stay a few nights and book the return for the day they want. The whole party travels together on one booking. If there is something to celebrate, say so when you book: catering, a private chef and flowers travel with you, set up before you board. The date comes first and the aircraft is planned around it, so a dinner booking or a tee time at a set hour decides when you fly, not the other way round. Tell us the occasion and the number of guests with your date, and the quote comes back with the aircraft, the hours and whatever you asked to have on board, ready for you to confirm with one reply.
Questions
Charter Flights to Baha Mar from Miami: Questions Answered
How long is the flight from Miami to Baha Mar?
Baha Mar is about 185 statute miles from Miami, a little over 160 nautical, almost all of it open water. A seaplane covers it in about an hour in the air.
For a small plane, a helicopter or a jet the time depends on the aircraft and the field you leave from, and it comes back with the quote. What really sets the length of the day is the border on both sides and how long you stay.
What is the best way to get to Baha Mar?
It depends on your party and what you carry, because every aircraft lands at the same place in Nassau. A jet is the quickest and carries the most, a small plane handles golf bags well, a helicopter makes the crossing itself the view and a seaplane is the classic way over the water.
We quote the options side by side so you can compare. Scheduled flights into Nassau exist too, with a terminal at both ends and a time somebody else picked.
Do I need a passport to fly to Baha Mar?
Yes, every passenger needs one, children included. The Bahamas is another country, and a private aircraft does not change that. We take the passport details once when you enquire and file the manifest for both sides before departure. The travel documents page lists what each passenger sends and by when, including the cases that need more notice. Nothing else has to be printed or carried.
Can a plane land at Baha Mar?
Not on the property itself. Every aircraft lands at Lynden Pindling International in Nassau, six miles east along the coast, and the airport is also the border post, so you land and clear in the same building. There is no authorised water landing area in Nassau Harbour at present, so a seaplane uses the runway too. A car then covers the last stretch to Cable Beach.
Where does the flight land for Baha Mar?
At Lynden Pindling International on New Providence, on the general aviation ramp rather than at an airline terminal. Customs and immigration are in the same building. From the ramp it is about six miles west along West Bay Street: the resort puts the drive at ten minutes, and with traffic on the Cable Beach strip it can be fifteen. A car can be waiting when you land.
Can you take a day trip to Baha Mar?
Yes, and it is a common way this route is flown. On a charter the aircraft waits for you, so the return is set by you and not by a timetable. Out in the morning, back in the evening, with both borders handled.
If you would rather stay a night, tell us when you enquire and the return is planned for that day. With the beach, the pools and the golf all on one property, a day covers more than it sounds like it should.
How much baggage can we take?
It is a question of weight, not of the number of bags, and it differs by aircraft. Floats carry less than wheels, and a jet carries the most. Say what is coming when you enquire, including golf clubs, dive gear, rods and anything with a battery, and the answer comes back with the quote rather than at the aircraft.
Golf bags are common on this route, since the resort has its own eighteen-hole course, so they are rarely a problem once we know about them. If the load decides it, the aircraft is chosen around what you bring, not the other way round.
Is Baha Mar good for families?
It suits families unusually well, because the rooms, the beach, the restaurants and the Baha Bay water park are all inside one property and nobody has to organise transport between them. Children need passports like everybody else.
On a charter there is no terminal and no queue, which is usually what makes the difference with small children. The drive from the airport is short and runs along the coast for the second half.
Can we fly on to another island from Baha Mar afterwards?
Yes. Once you have cleared into the Bahamas at Nassau, every leg after it is domestic, and Nassau is the natural hub for the rest of the chain.
The same aircraft can carry on to the Exumas, Eleuthera, Andros or the Abacos, as long as the next island has a place for it to land. Tell us the shape of the whole trip when you enquire and it is quoted as one booking.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
Every aircraft handles weather differently. A seaplane needs calm enough conditions for its crossing, a small plane and a jet use the long runway at Nassau and a jet can climb above much of it.
If conditions are below what is safe, the crew moves or cancels the flight and the weather and delays policy says what that means for your booking. That call is always the crew's, and a delay of an hour or two often solves it.
Is a charter cheaper than a scheduled flight?
No, and it is not meant to be. A scheduled seat into Nassau is cheaper because someone else picked the time and you share the aircraft. A charter buys you the aircraft: your departure, your return, your party only. On a short stay that usually means several more hours at the resort, and no waiting in a terminal on either side of the water, which is the comparison worth making.
We send the price for the whole aircraft, so you can split it across your party and compare fairly. Tell us what matters most, the time at the resort, the view on the way or the budget, and we suggest the aircraft that fits it best.
Can I bring a pet on a charter flight?
Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
