Private Jet from Miami to Fresh Creek

Andros Town lies around a hundred and sixty seven statute miles east of the city, about a hundred and forty five nautical. The block time comes back with the quote rather than as a number on a web page.

On a jet it is a short leg either way, which is the point: the day at the creek is the part you actually booked.

The weather. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and that is what moves days on this line. A boat waits it out and a light aircraft either picks its way underneath or stays put.

A jet leaves the layer below it and settles at one level for the whole leg, which is the difference between a day that happens on the date you chose and one that moves.

Yes. Fresh Creek Airport, also known as Andros Town, has a paved runway of around four thousand feet, which suits a light jet. Larger aircraft are checked against the field before anything is confirmed, so say how many are travelling when you send the dates.

On the island itself. Fresh Creek Airport and the Fresh Creek public dock are both on the Bahamian list of ports of entry, so there is no separate customs airport to fly first. The crew files the declaration from Florida and the US return before you leave, and your party carries a valid passport and nothing else.

Tell us where you are booked when you send the dates and a car is waiting at the aircraft. Andros Town and Coakley Town sit either side of the creek, with Staniard Creek and Calabash Bay nearby, so the drive from the field is arranged in advance rather than left to a rank.

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. Send the address your morning starts from and the field is chosen around it 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. On a creek where the tide sets the useful hours, that matters more than usual.

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 travel documents page lists what each passenger hands over and by when.

Yes. A short flight puts the party on the ground with the morning still intact, and the return hour stays movable while you are on the island. What makes it work here is that the aircraft lands on Andros itself rather than at a hub two flights away: a morning out leaves the afternoon for the creek, the lighthouse and the water.

For a booking, yes. The airport carries both names, so a flight to either lands at the same field, and Andros Town and Coakley Town sit on either side of the creek. If your day is on the northern flats or in the far south, the Andros route or the South Andros route is the one you want.

Yes, and many parties on this route do. Baggage on a charter is weighed rather than counted, so rods, tanks and a cooler are a payload question rather than a rule about pieces per passenger.

Say whether anyone is fishing or diving when you send the dates: gear changes the load plan rather than the price, and it is checked against the aircraft before anything is confirmed.

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.

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.
