Private Jet from Miami to Dunmore Town

Harbour Island sits around 193 nautical miles east of the city, and on a jet that is a short leg. The exact block time comes back with the quote rather than as a number on a web page. What matters more on this route is that the flight costs so little of the day that the afternoon on the island is the part you actually booked.

No. The island is three and a half miles long, it has no runway of any kind and no bridge to anywhere. The jet lands at North Eleuthera across the harbour, on 6,020 feet of asphalt, and from there it is a three minute taxi to the Three Island Dock and the water taxi over to the town. Both halves are booked together and arranged before you leave Florida.

By road for three minutes and then by water. The taxi runs from the field to the Three Island Dock and the water taxi crosses three and a half miles of sheltered harbour to the Government Dock at the north end of Bay Street.

It is arranged with the flight rather than found on the dock, and the crew knows which arrival it is meeting. Say so if you want a cart waiting when you step off.

Because of the 193 nautical miles before the harbour. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and that is what moves days on a crossing this length.

A jet climbs above the layer and holds one altitude across, so an afternoon that would delay everything else is usually a non-event. North Eleuthera also carries 6,020 feet of asphalt and its own border desk, so there is no separate customs stop and no short strip to worry about in wind.

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 rather than the other way round.

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.

The car and the boat at North Eleuthera are booked against your arrival rather than against a clock, so they move with the flight.

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.

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 arrival clears at North Eleuthera on the way in, so the harbour crossing is a domestic one. The travel documents page lists what each passenger hands over and by when.

About thirty minutes. There is no terminal queue to join in Miami. You arrive, you walk out to the aircraft, and the outbound border filing is already done from our side before you get there, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.

Yes, and it is a normal shape for this route. The flight takes a fraction of the day, the town is small enough to walk and the pink sand is five minutes across the ridge, so an afternoon here is a full one.

The return hour stays movable while you are still on the island. Parties who want longer stay in the town and name the day they come home.

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, and North Eleuthera takes conditions that would close a short strip.

When the day does move, 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. The harbour crossing is the weather-dependent half, and on a bad afternoon that is the part that is rearranged rather than the flight.

Dunmore Town is the only settlement on Harbour Island, so in practice people use the two names for the same trip. Islanders call the place Briland. The island is about three and a half miles long with fewer than two thousand residents, and the town sits along the harbour on the sheltered side of it, with the pink sand over the ridge on the Atlantic side.

By golf cart, like everybody else. Around the island is roughly twenty minutes and across it about five, which is why almost nobody bothers with anything larger. Say when you book if you want one waiting at the Government Dock rather than queued for, and it is arranged with the flight at the same time.

It depends on the aircraft and on what the party is carrying, which is why the answer comes with the quote rather than before it.

Send the headcount and the bags at the enquiry and you get back what is free on your date, what each one takes and what each one costs. You are pricing the airframe rather than a headcount, so the cost per person falls as the group grows.

Send the date, the number of guests, which airport suits your morning and the hour you would like. 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 chef on board or a table held on Bay Street for the evening, say so at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.

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.
