The Route
Charter Flights from Miami to Dunmore Town
Dunmore Town lies just over 193 nautical miles east of Miami, the only town on Harbour Island off the north tip of Eleuthera. Every aircraft we fly gets you there, because North Eleuthera is three and a half miles across the harbour. The choice is not whether you can reach it, it is which way suits your party, your bags and how you want to arrive. A family with bags, a couple going for the pink sand and friends heading to a boat will not pick the same one, and that is fine.
Charter flights from Miami to Dunmore Town 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 that lands off the town, a small plane to North Eleuthera, a helicopter with the best view 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 Dunmore Town 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 island.
Plan Your Dunmore Town CharterDistance and Aircraft
193 Nautical Miles and Four Ways to Fly Them
Miami to Dunmore Town is just over 193 nautical miles, almost all of it open water across the Gulf Stream and the bank. How long it takes in the air depends on the aircraft: the seaplane is a little over 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
Harbour Water for Floats, North Eleuthera for Wheels
A seaplane settles on the water off Dunmore Town, with the Government Dock on the town side. A small plane and a jet land on the runway at North Eleuthera, a short taxi and the water taxi across the harbour. Where the helicopter sets down is agreed with the operator.
Both Borders
Passports, the Manifest and Both Borders Filed for You
Harbour Island is not a port of entry, so arrivals clear at North Eleuthera, across the harbour. 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 golf cart at the dock, 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 in Dunmore Town
Most parties fly over in the morning and home the same evening, and the aircraft waits while you are on the island. 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 Dunmore Town 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. 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 Dunmore Town 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 between water and runway makes itself: calm water and a hotel on Bay Street point one way, a load of gear or a windy forecast the other.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You pick the aircraft, and we fix the departure point and the landing site. Then everything around the flight: catering on board, a golf cart or ground transport on Harbour Island, 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 Dunmore Town Put You Down
Where your flight puts you down for Dunmore Town depends on the aircraft. Floats end on the water off the town, wheels end on the runway at North Eleuthera, and from there the water taxi crosses the harbour. Below is what waits at each end, and what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your Dunmore Town CharterNorth Eleuthera Airport for Runway Aircraft
Wheels Down
The small plane and the jet arrive at North Eleuthera Airport, 6,020 feet of asphalt three and a half miles across the harbour from Dunmore Town, with the border desk in the terminal. Because the airport is a port of entry, the formalities happen where you step out, usually in minutes, since the crew filed everything before departure. The desk keeps 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.
From the apron it is a three minute taxi to the Three Island Dock, and the aircraft stays parked for your return. On a day trip that means the same way back in the evening and no check-in at all.
The Harbour Off Dunmore Town for the Seaplane
On the Water
A seaplane clears at North Eleuthera first, then finishes on the water off the town. Harbour Island has no airstrip and no bridge, and the public landing on the town side is the Government Dock. It is the shortest way from Miami to a table on Bay Street, with no water taxi in between, and the details are on the seaplane from Miami to Dunmore Town page. The trade is the water and the light. A seaplane needs a calm enough surface and lands from thirty minutes after sunrise to thirty minutes before sunset, and we tell you that before you book rather than on the day.
The Water Taxi Across the Harbour
Three and a Half Miles
If you land on the runway, the town is on the other island. A taxi of three minutes takes you from the airport to the Three Island Dock, and the water taxi crosses the harbour to Dunmore Town. It is arranged before you leave Florida, so nobody waits on the dock looking for a boat. In return the runway works on mornings when the water is too rough for floats. We quote both ends so you can weigh them. A golf cart can wait at the Government Dock, so the whole hop from the aircraft to the hotel is arranged before you land, bags included.
Dunmore Town and Bay Street
Where the Hotels Are
Dunmore Town is the only town on Harbour Island. Bay Street runs along the harbour front with the water on one side and the shops, the bars and old clapboard houses on the other, some over a hundred and fifty years old. Behind it the grid of 1791 climbs three or four streets to the ridge, and golf carts are the transport. What there is to do is covered on the Harbour Island 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 harbour, the beach and lunch fit easily between the morning flight and the evening one. Longer stays pick a hotel in town, which is why a seaplane landing right here appeals to them.
Flying Over the Reef
Seen From Above
The last minutes from Miami are the best part of the flight. The deep blue of the Gulf Stream gives way to the pale, shallow bank off the tip of Eleuthera, and on a sunny morning the reef and the flats show clearly from a low flying aircraft. Harbour Island comes up at the end of it, the town on the harbour side and the pink line of the beach along the Atlantic. It is one of the reasons people ask for scenic flights on the approach. Ask the crew to come in low over the reef if the day allows, and have a camera ready.
Pink Sands Beach
Harbour Island's Signature Beach
The pink sand is what most guests fly to Harbour Island for. It is not on the town side: it runs down the Atlantic shore, over the ridge and five minutes from Bay Street by golf cart. The island is small enough to circle by cart in about twenty minutes, so the beach and the town fit into the same day. A beach picnic on the sand can be set up with the flight. Ask for a cart to be waiting with ground transport and it is at the dock when you arrive.
Bags, Gear 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. Golf clubs, dive tanks, rods, a cooler for the boat: tell us at the enquiry 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 water landing off Dunmore Town becomes the easy choice.
Onward Through the Bahamas From Dunmore Town
Domestic After North Eleuthera
Dunmore Town also works as one stop of a longer trip. Once you have cleared in at North Eleuthera, every leg after it stays inside the Bahamas. The same charter can carry on to Eleuthera, Nassau, Andros or Staniel Cay and the Exumas. That is how one island becomes island hopping or a Bahamas day. The ready-made version of a single day is the Dunmore Town getaway day trip, and the rest of the islands are on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Flights from Miami to Dunmore Town: What to Know Before You Fly
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind flights from Miami to Dunmore Town: 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.
Miami to Dunmore Town Charter Flights: Four Ways Over the Gulf Stream
The same 193 miles of water seen from four different 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 bank comes up turquoise in a single line. 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 the approach the pink line of the Atlantic beach shows up along the far side of Harbour Island. That is why charter flights to Dunmore Town from Miami double as scenic flights for anybody sitting by a window. The shallow bank off the tip of Eleuthera is just as clear, pale against the dark blue behind it. 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 Dunmore Town from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a charter flight to Dunmore Town
Private flights to Dunmore Town 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 on the island 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 water 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 on the island 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 the sand 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 Dunmore Town Flights: The Crew Handles Both Borders
Passports are all your party carries on a Dunmore Town crossing
Miami to Dunmore Town 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. Harbour Island is not a port of entry, so arrivals clear at North Eleuthera across the harbour. 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. None of this is paperwork your party fills in at a counter: the passport list is all we need from you.
Charter Flights Miami to Dunmore Town: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate in Dunmore Town
Most people who fly over mark something. Charter flights Miami to Dunmore Town are booked for a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary or a weekend away with the people who matter, and a small harbour town is the kind of place where 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 boat leaving 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 Dunmore Town from Miami: Questions Answered
How long is the flight from Miami to Dunmore Town?
Dunmore Town is just over 193 nautical miles east of Miami, on Harbour Island off the north tip of Eleuthera. A seaplane covers it in a little over 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. On a day trip most parties spend far longer in town than in the air.
What is the best way to get to Dunmore Town?
It depends on how you want to arrive and what you carry. A seaplane clears at North Eleuthera and then finishes on the water off the town, with the Government Dock on the town side. A small plane or a jet lands on the runway at North Eleuthera and handles more weight and rougher water, and the water taxi covers the last three and a half miles. A helicopter gives the best view on the way. We quote the options side by side so you can compare.
Do I need a passport to fly to Dunmore Town?
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 in Dunmore Town?
Not on wheels. Harbour Island has no airstrip and no bridge to Eleuthera. The runway is at North Eleuthera, 6,020 feet of asphalt three and a half miles across the harbour, and it is an airport of entry, so a small plane or a jet lands and clears there. A seaplane clears at North Eleuthera too and then lands on the water off the town. Which of the two suits your day is the first thing we answer when you send your dates and your party size.
Where does the flight land for Dunmore Town?
That depends on the aircraft. Runway aircraft land at North Eleuthera, and from there it is a short taxi to the dock and the water taxi across the harbour to Dunmore Town, where most hotels, restaurants and Bay Street are. A seaplane finishes on the water off the town, so the water taxi is not needed. Where the helicopter sets down is agreed with the operator before the day.
Can you take a day trip to Dunmore Town?
Yes. 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. A seaplane lands in daylight only, from thirty minutes after sunrise to thirty minutes before sunset, so that sets the end of its day. If you would rather stay a night, tell us when you enquire and the return is planned for that day. Many guests try a day trip first and come back for longer.
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. On an island of golf carts and narrow lanes a soft bag travels easiest. If the load decides it, the aircraft is chosen around what you bring, not the other way round.
Is Dunmore Town good for families?
It suits families well: the town is three or four streets deep and you can walk it end to end, and the pink sand on the Atlantic side is five minutes away by golf cart. 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 water taxi across the harbour is short, and a seaplane skips it entirely.
Can we fly on to another island from Dunmore Town afterwards?
Yes. Once you have cleared into the Bahamas at North Eleuthera, every leg after it is domestic. The same aircraft can carry on to Nassau, Eleuthera or the Exumas, 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. Where the next island only has water to land on, that leg switches to a seaplane.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
Every aircraft handles weather differently. A seaplane needs calm enough water to land, a small plane and a jet use the runway 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 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 day trip that usually means several more hours in town, 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 on the island, the landing point 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.
