The Flight
Private Jet Miami to Rose Island
Rose Island is a long, thin island of sand and scrub with nobody living on it, about three miles east of Paradise Island. It has no road, no public pier and no runway. So the flight lands at Nassau, on the long paved runway at Lynden Pindling, and a boat runs you east for around half an hour. Both halves are arranged before you leave Florida.
What a jet changes is the part before that: around 160 nautical miles of open water to Nassau, by far the longest leg of the day. Afternoon cloud over the Stream is what pushes a day back on this route. A jet goes up through it and stays there the whole way, so a morning departure still arrives as a morning.
Everything in between is handled by us: the departure airport, the aircraft and crew, the boat waiting at Nassau, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas asks for. Your party brings passports and a bag. Lynden Pindling is itself an airport of entry, so the border desk is on the field and there is no separate customs stop. The island is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter.

Miami to Rose Island Private Jet
How a Private Jet Rose Island from Miami Flight Actually Works
A Miami to Rose Island jet charter is more than the time in the air above the Gulf Stream. Here is what every flight includes, from your first message to the moment you step onto the sand at Rose Island.
Plan Your Rose Island CharterDistance and Flight Level
Around 160 Miles to Nassau, Flown High
Nassau lies around 160 nautical miles of open water east of Miami, and Rose Island sits just beyond it. Through the afternoon the Gulf Stream stacks up cloud, and on a leg this long that is what moves a day. A jet climbs through the layer and holds one altitude to Nassau.
The Whole Aircraft
One Party, One Cabin, No Seats Sold to Strangers
Only your party is on board, and the aircraft leaves at the hour you name rather than one printed on a timetable. Seating, bags and what is loaded are settled before the day, not negotiated at the ramp. If your morning runs late, the jet waits for you.
The Runway It Needs
Nassau's Long Asphalt, Then Half an Hour by Boat
Rose Island has no runway, so the jet lands at Lynden Pindling on New Providence. For this aircraft that is an advantage: 11,353 feet of asphalt accepts weather that shuts a short strip. From Nassau a boat runs east for around half an hour, booked with the flight, onto the beach.
Both Borders
Passports Taken Once, Both Borders Filed Ahead
Lynden Pindling is an airport of entry, so clearance happens on the field where the aircraft stops, and the boat ride east afterwards is domestic. We collect passport details once, with the enquiry, and the travel documents are filed from our side rather than yours, in both directions.
On Board and Ashore
Catering, Celebrations, and What Travels to Rose Island
Chef catering, a birthday cake, snorkel gear and a cooler for the beach: what comes along is ordered with the flight rather than requested on it. The island has a beach club at one end and nothing else, so anything beyond that travels with you.
How Long the Day Runs
Day Trip to Multi-Day Rose Island Itinerary
The flight is a small share of the day, so a beach afternoon and dinner back in Florida is the usual version. Or stay on Nassau and go back out by boat the next morning: the aircraft is yours for as long as the itinerary runs.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet from Miami to Rose Island
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 Rose Island
Chartering an aircraft takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Rose Island 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 you want to travel. 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. 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 the departure airport. Then everything around the flight. Catering on board, the boat that meets you at Nassau and runs you out to Rose Island, a dock pickup on the way back. 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 Rose Island Puts You Down
The jet is where a Rose Island day really begins. A flight high over the Gulf Stream, a short boat ride east from Nassau, and then a long empty island with a beach on each side and the reef close enough to swim to. Below is what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your Rose Island CharterThe Beaches on Both Sides
Most Asked For
The beach is why most parties come, and the shape of the island is why it works even on a breezy day. Rose Island runs east and west with open water along both sides, so one shore is always sheltered and the party simply moves to it. It stays quiet for a reason: it is close to a capital city, but there is no road onto it and no scheduled ferry. A beach club sits at one end, and beyond it are long stretches of sand with nobody on them. Tell us how many are swimming when you send the date, and whether you want the club end or the empty end. They are two different afternoons, and the boat from Nassau is booked for the one you choose.
The Reef and the Snorkelling
In the Water
The reef here sits close to shore rather than a long boat ride out, so snorkelling becomes something you do between lunch and the flight home instead of a separate excursion. Fish, lobster, sea turtles and nurse sharks are what these waters are known for. The water is shallow, so snorkellers and divers see the same reef at different depths, and children can swim it without a boat beneath them. Clear visibility is what brings people back. Bring the gear with you, because there is nowhere on the island to hire it. It goes into the enquiry as weight alongside the headcount. Add water toys for an afternoon on the water, or a dock pickup if a boat is collecting you from the beach.
The Sandbars at Low Water
The Tide Decides
At low tide the bank around the island dries out into open sand, and for a few hours there is dry ground in the middle of the sea with nothing on it. From the boat out of Nassau it is the first thing people reach for a camera for. It is also where a beach picnic is laid out and where rays come into ankle deep water. The tide is the one part of this day the sea sets, not the aircraft, so if the sandbars are the point of the trip, say so with the date and the departure hour is planned around low water.
The Thunderball Coast
Filmed in 1965
The coast of Rose Island is where the stolen bomber crash lands in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, and the villain's boat runs aground on its rocky southern shore in the same film. Sixty years later the shoreline looks the same, because nobody has built on it. It is a piece of history to know rather than a stop to plan around: there is no monument and no tour. What it does explain is how an island this close to Nassau has stayed this empty.
An Island With No Roads
Nothing Built
Rose Island has no roads and no formal housing. Its highest point is about sixteen metres, a shallow lagoon sits in the middle, and a narrow spit reaches some seven miles east from the main island. A pineapple plantation once stood here, and nothing has been farmed on it since. In practice, what you bring is what you have: no shops, no taxis, no ferry dock. That is the case for chartering the whole aircraft rather than seats, since the hold comes with it. Catering and a private chef are arranged with the flight, and anything outside the usual list goes to custom requests.
Nassau and Paradise Island
Minutes West
The island lies around three miles east of Paradise Island and about eight and a half miles from Nassau, which is where the jet lands anyway. It feels remote and is not: the harbour, the hotels and the border desk the flight already cleared are all half an hour back by boat. That makes a split day easy: an empty beach in the morning and a table in town at night, with no second border in between. The town side has its own crossings, a private jet from Miami to Nassau and Atlantis, for a party that wants the resort rather than the sand. Ground transport on the Nassau side is arranged with the flight, and a table held for the evening goes on the same list as the aircraft.
A Boat or a Yacht Meeting You
Alongside
Plenty of these trips exist because a boat is already in the water. Rose Island has no pier, so any afternoon involving a vessel is built around a tender, and a yacht transfer is the version where the boat itself is the point of the day rather than the beach. On a jet the party lands at Nassau and the yacht or tender picks everyone up at a dock there, which is a far shorter run out to Rose Island than any crossing by sea from Florida. Which dock and at what time is settled with the quote. A tender meeting the party covers the version where a boat comes to collect you for the afternoon.
Onward Down the Chain
Same Aircraft
A private jet charter from Miami to Rose Island also works as the first leg of a longer trip rather than the whole day. Since the aircraft lands at Nassau anyway, the same jet can continue east and south to Eleuthera, Staniel Cay or the Exumas. Closer in, Athol Island and Blue Lagoon Island are the neighbours on the same stretch of water. That turns one beach into island hopping or a wider Bahamas day. Staying overnight changes the baggage rather than the route, because there is no hotel on Rose Island. The full island guide is on the Rose Island destination page, the packaged version is the Rose Island getaway day trip and the rest of the chain is on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to Rose Island: High Over the Gulf Stream, Your Own Hour and a Boat from Nassau
Everything above is the day itself. What follows is the detail behind it: why a jet is the aircraft that shrugs off the afternoon on a crossing this long, how late the hour can still change, who handles the paperwork at Nassau, and what a date worth celebrating looks like on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet Rose Island from Miami: Flying High and Fast Over the Gulf Stream
Over the Gulf Stream on a private jet from Miami to Rose Island
Over around 160 nautical miles, the crossing is not dead time between two airports. It is most of what decides whether the day goes ahead. Through the afternoon the Gulf Stream throws up cloud and squalls, and on a leg this long that is what pushes days back. A boat sits it out. A light aircraft flies beneath it or stays on the ground. A jet goes up through the layer and holds one altitude to Nassau, so an afternoon that would stop everything else rarely touches it. That makes the day something you plan a week out instead of on the morning itself: the question stops being whether the weather lets you go and becomes what time you want your feet in the sand. Rose Island has a beach club at one end and nothing else on it, so a day that slips is simply a day lost. The time saved in the air is time you get back on the beach, and the cabin carries your party and nobody else on jets in the fleet of this size. Other private jet routes from Miami fly exactly the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from Rose Island: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to Rose Island
There is no timetable on a charter. The whole day is arranged around the hour you pick. You choose when to lift off, when you want to be on the beach and which of the city's airports suits your morning. The aircraft is your party's for the day, so all three are your call rather than a slot somebody else fixed, and a change the week before is one message to us. If the drive is shorter from the north, the same day runs from Fort Lauderdale. Thirty minutes before departure is the entire check-in. Your party walks from the car to the aircraft, the bags are loaded in front of you, and the list for that flight has your names on it and no one else's. The boat at Nassau follows the aircraft. It is booked against your landing rather than a fixed clock, so leaving an hour later does not leave anyone waiting on a dock. The flight home moves the same way: a later return is a message rather than a rebooking, which is what makes a slow afternoon between the beach club and the empty end the normal version of this trip.
Private Jet Charter Miami to Rose Island: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Rose Island crossing
A private jet from Miami to Rose Island crosses an international border twice in one day. That is exactly where a trip goes wrong when nobody files ahead. The Bahamas asks for a declaration before you leave Florida, clearance at a port of entry on arrival and a US return filing before you fly home. The crew files all three. Lynden Pindling at Nassau is itself an airport of entry, so the arrival clears on the field where the aircraft stops, and the boat ride east to the island is domestic, with no second desk and no second form. Every passenger needs a passport, children included, per the travel documents guidance, and what may be carried is in the baggage guidance. Where you land on the way home comes back with the quote, and a weather delay falls under the weather and delays policy. If the party changes, the crew refiles: adding or dropping a name is one message to us, not a new booking, and nobody in the party has to fill anything in twice.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to Rose Island: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on Rose Island
A private jet from Miami to Rose Island gets booked when the day deserves marking: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a weekend away with the people who count. An island with no road and no houses on it is one of the few places near Nassau where the beach belongs to your party. Some parties fly over for the day and are back home the same night. Others take a room on Nassau and book the return for whichever day suits them, since there is no hotel on Rose Island. Both are the same charter, and the whole group travels on a single booking. If there is something to celebrate, mention it when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers fly with you. Beyond the beach club nothing on the island is for sale, so it all boards in Miami and flies home with you. A date that has to look right cannot afford to move either, and that is the other half of what this aircraft buys. That is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to Rose Island is for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to Rose Island: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to Rose Island?
The flight runs around 160 nautical miles east of the city to Nassau, and in a jet that is a short leg. The exact block time comes with the quote rather than as a figure on a web page. What matters more here is that the flight takes so little of the day that the afternoon on the beach is the part you actually booked.
Can a private jet land on Rose Island?
No. The island has no runway, no road and no houses, only a long strip of sand and scrub with a shallow lagoon in the middle. The jet lands at Lynden Pindling on New Providence, and a boat takes you east from Nassau in around half an hour. Both parts are booked together and settled before you leave Florida.
How do we get from Nassau to the island?
By boat, east past Paradise Island, around half an hour from the Nassau side. Rose Island lies about three miles beyond Paradise Island and some eight and a half miles from Nassau. The boat is arranged with the flight rather than found at the dock, and the crew knows which arrival it is waiting for. There is no public pier on the island, so the landing is onto the beach.
Why take a jet if it cannot land there anyway?
Because of the 160 nautical miles before the boat. The Gulf Stream builds cloud and squalls through the afternoon, and on a leg this long that is what moves days.
A jet climbs through the layer and stays at one altitude to Nassau, so an afternoon that grounds everything else rarely touches it. Lynden Pindling also has 11,353 feet of asphalt and its own border desk, so there is no extra customs stop.
Which airport does the jet leave from in Miami?
Miami has several business airports rather than one, and the right one is the shortest drive from where your morning starts. The executive field north west of the city is the usual departure and also where a return from the islands clears US customs.
Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach work too and have their own pages. Tell us where your party is staying and the airport is chosen around that rather than the other way round.
Can we choose our own departure time?
Yes, within daylight and within what the crew may fly. That is the main thing a charter gives you. The hour is fixed when you confirm and can still move afterwards if your plans change, because the aircraft is not going anywhere else and there are no other passengers. The boat at Nassau is booked against your landing rather than a clock, so it moves with the flight.
Is anyone else on the jet?
No. A charter carries the people you name and nobody else. There are no assigned seats, no other party in the cabin and no risk of the aircraft leaving with half your group. The passenger list can change until shortly before departure: adding or removing a name is a refiling on our side, not a rebooking on yours.
Do I need a passport for Rose Island?
Yes, every passenger, children included. Rose Island is in the Bahamas, a different country, and flying private does not change that. We take passport details once with the enquiry and file both directions before departure. The arrival clears at Nassau, so the boat ride east is domestic. The travel documents page lists what each passenger provides and by when.
How early do we need to be there?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal line in Miami. You arrive, walk out to the aircraft, and the outbound border filing has already been done by us, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.
Can we do it as a day trip?
Yes, and that is how most parties do this route, since there is no hotel on Rose Island. The flight is a small part of the day, the boat ride is around half an hour, and the return hour can still move while you are on the beach. Parties who want a night stay book a room on Nassau or Paradise Island and go back out the next morning.
What if the weather turns on the day?
Less often than with anything else we fly on this route, which is the reason for the aircraft. A jet climbs through the layer that holds the others down, and Lynden Pindling takes conditions that close a short strip.
If the day does have to move, you hear as soon as we do, and because the aircraft is held for your party it is a conversation rather than a wait for the next free seat. The boat ride is the part that depends on the sea, and on a rough afternoon that is what gets rearranged, not the flight.
Is there anything on the island?
Very little, and that is why people go. There is a beach club at one end and long stretches of sand with nobody on them. There are no shops, no taxis and no rental hut, so what you want ashore flies with you and comes home on the same aircraft. Bring snorkelling gear: the reef is close in and there is nowhere to hire it.
How many people fit?
That 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 with the enquiry and you get back what is free on your date, what each aircraft takes and what each one costs. You are pricing the airframe rather than the seats, so the cost per person falls as the group grows.
How do we start?
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 more in it, a chef on board or a table on Nassau for the evening, mention it 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.
