The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Andros
Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas and the one that most often costs a party its day twice. Once over the water, where an afternoon of Gulf Stream weather stops a boat and grounds a light aircraft, and once on the ground. The second half is geography. The island runs about a hundred miles from the north end to the south, roughly forty across, and the bights cut it into three pieces with open water in between. There is no road joining them.
A jet answers the first half by going over it. It climbs above the layer that holds everything else down, holds one altitude across and lands with the afternoon intact. It answers the second half by landing in the right place. The nearest field sits around a hundred and forty three miles east of the city and the furthest around a hundred and ninety eight, and the difference between them is the difference between a day on the water and a morning spent travelling to it.
Everything between the two ends is ours: the departure airport, the aircraft and the crew, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas wants before you leave Florida. Your party brings passports and a bag. The hour you leave, which end of the island you land on, who sits in the cabin and what is on board are all settled before the day rather than at the ramp. The same island is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter, and each of those is a different day.

How It Works
How a Private Jet Andros from Miami Flight Actually Works
A jet is the fast way to Andros, and on an island this long, speed on the water is only half of what it buys.
The other half is that it lands where your day is, above the weather instead of waiting on it, and back with the afternoon intact. What follows is the whole sequence in order, from the hour you name to the borders and what waits on the ground.
Plan Your Andros CharterThe Weather
Above the layer that keeps everything else on the ground
The Gulf Stream builds weather in the afternoon, and that is what moves days on this crossing. A boat waits it out and a light aircraft flies under it or not at all.
A jet climbs through it and holds one altitude across, so an afternoon that would delay everything else is usually a non-event. On a run this far out that is the difference between a day that happens on the date you chose and one that moves.
The Clock
The hour you name, and the day that comes back
Scheduled service leaves when it leaves. A charter leaves when you want it to, inside daylight and inside what the crew is legally allowed to fly.
On this route that is what keeps a same day return to Andros ordinary rather than tight: the crossing takes a fraction of the day, so the hours left are the ones you came for. If the morning slips, the aircraft waits, because it has nowhere else to be.
The Cabin
Your party, your seating, and catering agreed beforehand
The cabin carries your party and nobody else. Seating, what is on board and the departure hour are agreed before the day rather than found at the ramp, which is the part that separates a charter from a good seat on somebody else's aeroplane. Catering on board is ordered with the flight, not asked for on it.
The Landing
Three fields on Andros, each with its own border desk
Andros carries three ports of entry rather than one: San Andros in the north, Fresh Creek in the middle and Congo Town in the south. Each one has a paved runway a jet can use and a border desk on the same field.
Which one you land on is decided by where the day actually is, because the north and the south are around fifty five miles apart with open water in between and no road joining them.
The Paperwork
Both filings are done before your party reaches the aircraft
The Bahamas is a different country and a jet does not change that. We take the passport details once, at the enquiry, and the travel documents go in from our side rather than yours.
Both filings are made before boarding, against the field you are actually landing on. Your party brings the passports it already has and nothing else is asked of it on the day.
After You Land
The ground on Andros is arranged before you leave Florida
A car at the settlement, a guide and a skiff on the water, a room held at the far end: all of it is set up with the flight rather than found on arrival.
On an island where the settlements sit far apart and the pieces are separated by water, there is no sorting it out afterwards. Tell us what the day is meant to look like when you send the dates and it comes back arranged, with ground transport priced alongside the aircraft.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet to Miami from Andros
Miami has no single business airport, it has four and the right one is the one closest to where your day starts. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
The executive airport north west of the city and the usual Miami departure for a private jet, with private terminal handling on both ends. It is also where a return from the islands clears US customs.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
The right one when the party is already at MIA, arriving on a commercial flight or connecting to one and the onward leg should leave from the same airport instead of crossing the city first. Arranged per flight rather than held, so it is confirmed with the operator before it is quoted.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami, in the south west of the county and the shortest ground leg for Coral Gables, Pinecrest and the south of Miami-Dade. A general aviation field, so the walk from the car to the aircraft is short.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, thirty miles up the coast and the field a Broward or north Miami departure is quoted from. Its federal inspection station is where a US return from the islands is cleared when the day begins and ends in Broward.
How to Charter
How to Book a Private Jet Charter Miami to Andros
Chartering an aircraft takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Andros Charter- 01
Contact Us
Write to us on WhatsApp or by email. Send your dates, how many guests, which airport suits your morning and where on Andros you are actually going. Tell us the hour you would like to leave.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We check what is free on your date and send what fits your party. Seats, baggage and flight time for each one, against the field that serves your end of the island. You are pricing the whole airframe rather than a headcount, so a smaller group on the same aircraft costs the same as a full one.
- 03
Confirm and Pay
You pick the aircraft, and we set both airports. Then everything around the flight. Catering on board, a car waiting when you land, ground transport to your lodge or your hotel. Flowers if the day is a special one. You approve it, you pay, and your boarding time, departure airport and everything included come back to you.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
You will have no terminal queue to join. Just make sure you are there 30 minutes before. Then you lift off, climb out over the bay, and the day starts.
On the Island
Where a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Andros Puts You Down
Andros is four arrival areas rather than one island, so the question here is never whether you can reach it. It is which part of it your day is about, because the north and the south are around fifty five miles apart with the bights and open water in between.
A jet puts down on one of the three paved fields, and the border desk is on the same ground. Which of the three is the decision that shapes the day. What follows is what parties actually do with the hours in between, in the order they ask for it.
Plan Your Andros CharterThe Bonefish Flats
Most Asked For
This is what Andros is known for and it is no contest. The island is called the bonefish capital in the corridor's own language, and the reason is the water behind it: shallow flats running for miles, cut by channels and bights. That geography is why the field you land on matters more than the crossing. Guides work out of small boats through cuts with no road beside them, so a party that lands at the wrong end of the island spends the morning travelling to the water rather than fishing it. Parties book bonefishing and flats access and we set the arrival around it. Say how many are fishing when you send the date, because guides and skiffs are counted per head. Tides decide the useful hours and move through the month, so the return leg is planned against them. With the aircraft held for your party alone, a late tide is a message rather than a rebooking.
The Blue Holes of Andros
Inland and Offshore
Andros is limestone the whole way down, riddled with underwater caves and blue holes, and it carries the highest concentration of them anywhere. They sit inland in the pine forest as well as offshore in the sea. Not all of them ask for a tank. Many are shallow enough to snorkel or simply look into from the surface, which is the practical difference between this and a day built around a dive boat: a party with children in it is looking at the same water as the divers. Say whether anyone is diving rather than snorkelling when you send the date. Access runs on guides and local operators rather than on opening hours, so it is worth naming before the day is fixed rather than after. Add water toys if the afternoon is meant to stay on the water.
The Andros Barrier Reef on the East Coast
Snorkel and Dive
A barrier reef runs a hundred and twenty four miles down the eastern side of the island, which is the second thing Andros is known for and the reason divers came here before anyone else did. It sits close enough to shore that the reef and the flats are the same morning rather than two trips. Boats and guides run from the settlements along the east coast, which is also where two of the three airports sit, so the field and the dive plan are decided together rather than one after the other. A dock pickup covers the case where a boat is meeting you instead of a car. Tell us which when you send the dates: on this coast the two are not the same arrangement.
The Drop Beyond the Reef
Deep Water
Straight off that reef the sea floor falls away into water deep enough that Andros is named for it in the corridor's dive writing. The Crater off the coast is the site people mean when they say the wall here is a different order of thing from a reef dive. The same edge is why the deep water fishing runs from this island as well as the flats. That is a full day on a boat rather than an afternoon, so it sets the return leg rather than fitting around it, and on a charter the return leg is the one thing that can still move. The flats and the deep water are opposite kinds of day, so a party that wants both is really asking for two rather than one long one. It is easier to say which at the enquiry stage than to move it afterwards: it changes which of the three fields you fly into, not just the itinerary.
The Mangroves and the National Parks
On Foot and by Water
Mangrove wetlands cover huge stretches of the island, cut through by mazes of channels that open onto the flats and onto hidden beaches. Inland it is pine forest, with marked trails through the national park land in the north and centre of the island. This is the part that earns Andros its name as the ecotourism island of the Bahamas: the Andros iguana lives here and so do well over a hundred and twenty species of bird. It is walked, paddled or run by small boat rather than driven. A beach picnic on one of the beaches those channels open onto is nothing at all from the water and a long way from any airfield, so it is arranged with the flight rather than found on the day.
South Andros, Mangrove Cay and the West Side
The Quiet End
South of the bights the island empties out further still. South Andros and Mangrove Cay are separate arrival areas with their own water, and the southern flats are the ones anglers name first. The west side faces away from everything: quiet flats, open water and no road network worth the name. Congo Town in the south sits about a hundred and ninety eight statute miles from Miami against a hundred and forty three for the north of the island, so this is where the fifty five mile spread stops being a number on a page. It is also a port of entry with a paved runway, which is the reason a party staying down here does not have to land in the north and then spend the morning getting south. Parties meeting a boat go straight alongside on a yacht transfer rather than driving to it, which on this part of the island can otherwise mean a road, a ferry and the rest of the day.
The Settlements and the Crab Festival
One Week in June
The settlements sit strung along the east coast, small and far apart, and the island's own event is the crab festival every June: music, dancing and the blue crabs Andros is known for across the Bahamas. It is the one week of the year when the quietest large island in the country is not quiet, which matters for a date rather than for an itinerary. The settled stretch of weather runs roughly December to April, so the festival and the calmest flying conditions are not the same season. Above the layer that is less of a problem than it is on anything else we fly here, but the island itself is busier. Either way it is a day rather than an afternoon and it lands in the middle of the island, so it is worth naming when the date is chosen rather than after the field is fixed. Guests who want a table rather than a boat book a fly and dine day, and anything outside the usual list goes to custom requests.
Onward Across the Chain
Same Aircraft
A private jet charter from Miami to Andros also works as the first leg rather than the whole day. Andros sits on the inside of the chain and the same aircraft carries on east and north to Nassau, Harbour Island, Grand Bahama or Exuma and the Out Islands, each of which has a runway a jet can use. Further down the chain the runways run out, and that is worth saying plainly: the smallest cays, Staniel Cay and the ones around it, are reached on a seaplane or a helicopter rather than on this aircraft. Which islands take a jet directly is set out across the Bahamas jet routes. That is what turns one island into island hopping or a wider Bahamas day. A week changes the baggage, not the route. A date that has to look like something is where the catering on board and the extras come in, and the baggage guidance sets out what goes in the back. If a yacht is meeting you, that is a yacht transfer, arranged with the flight. Anything larger than luggage is island logistics. The full island guide is on the Andros destination page, the packaged version is the Andros day trip and the chain is on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to Andros: The Weather Below You, the Hour You Keep and Which End of Andros
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind it: why a jet is the aircraft that ignores the afternoon, how late the hour can still move, who does the paperwork, and what a date worth marking looks like on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet Andros from Miami: Flying High and Fast Above the Weather
Above the weather on a private jet from Miami to Andros
The crossing is not dead time between two airports, and on this route it is not the part that usually goes wrong either. The weather is. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and that is what moves days between Miami and Andros. A boat waits it out, a light aircraft flies underneath it or not at all. A jet climbs through the layer and holds one altitude across, so an afternoon that would delay everything else is usually a non-event. That matters more here than on the short hops. Andros lies between a hundred and forty three and a hundred and ninety eight miles east of the city, so the day is longer and there is more of it to lose. At altitude it is plannable a week ahead: the question stops being whether the weather allows it and becomes what time you want to land. The hour saved is the hour you get back, and the cabin carries your party alone on jets in the fleet of this size. Other private jet routes from Miami are flown the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from Andros: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Andros
Nobody hands you a timetable on a charter. The day is built around the hour you name. You name the hour you want to lift off, the hour you want to be standing on Andros and which airport in the city suits your morning. The aircraft belongs to your party for the day, so all three are your decision rather than a departure somebody else set, and a change the week before is a message to us. If the drive is shorter the other way, the same day runs out of Fort Lauderdale. Half an hour before the lift-off is the whole of the check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, the bags go on in front of you, and the list for that flight carries your names and nobody else's. And the return hour moves too. Because the crossing costs so little of the day, a later flight home is a message rather than a rebooking, which matters on an island where the useful hours are set by the tide rather than by an opening time. An early start and a late return are the same booking, priced the same way, and decided by you rather than by a timetable.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Andros: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on an Andros crossing
A private jet from Miami to Andros crosses an international border twice in a day. It is the part that goes wrong when nobody files it in advance. Entry into the Bahamas asks for a declaration filed from Florida, clearance at a port of entry on arrival and a US return filed before you leave, which sets where you may land coming home. On a Crown Air charter the crew files all three. Your party carries a valid passport and nothing else. Andros is unusual in carrying three ports of entry rather than one. San Andros, Fresh Creek and Congo Town each clear arrivals on the field the aircraft stops on, so there is no second airport to fly first and no last leg by boat. Which one the filing names is decided with the booking: it is the same decision as which end of the island your day is on. Passports for everyone, children included, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel sits in the baggage guidance. The landing point coming home comes back with the quote, and a departure moved by weather runs under the weather and delays policy. If the party changes, the crew refiles. A name added or dropped is a message to us, not a problem for you.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to Andros: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Andros
A private jet from Miami to Andros is booked when the day is worth marking: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a week of fishing with the people who matter. The crossing is short enough that the occasion, not the travelling, is what the day is about. Some parties fly over for the day and are home the same evening. Others stay on and book the return for the day they want. Both are the same charter, and the whole group travels together on one booking. If there is something to celebrate, say so when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers travel with you. Everything is in place before you board in Miami. Nothing about the day is left to be arranged on an island where the settlements sit far apart. A date that has to look like something is also a date that cannot afford to move, and that is the other half of what this aircraft buys you. That is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Andros is for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Andros: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Andros?
Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas and it is not one arrival point. Its fields lie between around a hundred and forty three and a hundred and ninety eight statute miles east of the city, north to south, so the block time depends on which end your day is on.
It comes back with the quote rather than as a number on a web page. On a jet all of them are a short leg, which is the point: the afternoon on the island is the part you actually booked.
Why take a jet to Andros rather than something smaller?
The weather and the length of the island. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and that is what moves days on this route. A boat waits it out and a light aircraft flies underneath it or not at all.
A jet climbs above the layer and holds one altitude across. On a run this far out that is the difference between a day that happens on the date you chose and one that moves.
Can a private jet land on Andros?
Yes, and on three separate fields. San Andros in the north, Fresh Creek in the middle and Congo Town in the south all have a paved runway a jet can use.
That is unusual for a Bahamian island and it is the reason a party can be set down close to where the day actually is rather than at the one field the island happens to have.
Which of the three airports should we fly into?
Whichever one is closest to where your day is. The north and the south of Andros are around fifty five miles apart with the bights and open water in between and no road joining them, so the choice is not a detail.
Tell us the lodge, the settlement or the guide you are booked with when you send the dates, and the field is picked around that rather than the other way round.
Where do we clear customs?
On the field you land on. All three Andros airports are ports of entry, so the border desk sits on the same ground the aircraft stops on.
There is no separate customs airport to fly first and no last leg by boat to reach a desk. The crew files the declaration from Florida and the US return before you leave, and your party carries a valid passport and nothing else.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has no single business airport, it has several, and the right one is the shortest ground leg from where your morning starts. The executive field north west of the city is the usual departure and is also where a return from the islands clears US customs.
Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach are possible too and have their own pages. Tell us where your party is actually staying and the airport is picked around that.
Can we choose our own departure time?
Yes, within daylight and within what the crew is allowed to fly. That is the main thing a charter buys you.
The hour is set when you confirm and can still be moved afterwards if your day changes, because the aircraft is not going anywhere else and there are no other passengers to inconvenience. On Andros that matters more than usual, because the useful hours on the water are set by the tide.
Is anyone else on the jet?
No. A charter carries the people you name and nobody else. There is no seat assignment, no other party sharing the cabin, and no risk of the flight leaving without part of your group. The passenger list can also change up to shortly before the flight: a name added or dropped is a refiling on our side rather than a rebooking on yours.
Do I need a passport for Andros?
Yes, for every passenger including children. The Bahamas is a different country and a jet does not change that. We take the passport details once at the enquiry and file for both sides before departure. The travel documents page lists what each passenger hands over and by when.
Can we do it as a day trip?
Yes. The crossing takes a fraction of the day, both ends are quick and the return hour stays movable while you are still on the island. The thing that decides a day trip here is not the flight, it is landing at the right end: a morning out to the field nearest your water leaves the whole afternoon on Andros.
What if the weather turns on the day?
Less often than on anything else we fly this route with, and that is the point of the aircraft. A jet operates above the layer that grounds the rest, so an afternoon of Gulf Stream weather is usually a non-event.
When it is not, the day moves: we would rather rebook a flight than fly it badly, you are told as early as we know, and because the aircraft was held for your party it is a conversation rather than a queue for the next available seat.
How do we start?
Send the date, the number of guests, which airport suits your morning and where on Andros you are going. You get back what is free, what it costs, the boarding time and what is included, and nothing is held until you say so.
If the day has anything else in it, a car waiting or a guide booked for the morning, say so at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.
Can I bring a pet on a private jet charter?
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.
