The Flight
Private Jet Miami to South Bimini
South Bimini is the quiet half of Bimini and the half with the airport, which makes it the one island in the chain where a jet stops on the same ground you came to spend the day on. The jet also takes the Gulf Stream out of the question. It climbs over the afternoon build-up that keeps a boat in harbour, and the hours you booked stay in the day.
From downtown Miami the island lies around fifty-eight statute miles east, all of it open water. At altitude that is a short leg. You step down a short ride from the marina at Bimini Sands, and the northern island is a water taxi across the channel if the afternoon needs it.
What sits between is on our side: the departure airport, the aircraft and its crew, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas asks for. You bring passports and a bag. South Bimini is also reached by small plane, by seaplane, by private plane and by helicopter.

How a Private Jet South Bimini from Miami Flight Works
A Miami to South Bimini jet charter is more than the short time spent high over the Gulf Stream. Below is everything each flight covers, from your first message to the step down onto South Bimini.
Plan Your South Bimini CharterDistance and Flight Level
Fifty-Eight Miles East, Flown High Over the Gulf Stream
South Bimini sits around fifty-eight statute miles east of downtown Miami, the nearest Bahamian ground a jet can put its wheels on. That distance is flown high over the Gulf Stream, clear of the afternoon build-up that decides the day for boats on this run. The aircraft waits on nobody else, so the hour you choose is the hour the door closes.
The Whole Aircraft
Your Party Alone in the Cabin, Start to Finish
Nobody joins the cabin but the names you give us. Seats, catering and the time you board are fixed before the day rather than settled at the ramp, and that is the difference between a charter and a seat on another operator's schedule. A change to the party is a message to us, not a new booking.
The Island It Lands On
South Bimini Is Where the Jet Actually Stops
The Bimini airport is on the southern island, not the northern one, so on this route the aircraft stops on the island you came for. A jet needs paved ground, and this is the nearest Bahamian strip it can use. The marina, the villas and the trail are a short ride from the aircraft door, with no boat in between.
Both Borders
Passports Once, and the Filings Done From Our Side
The Bahamas is another country whether you arrive by boat or by jet. We collect passport details once, when you enquire, and the travel documents for the outbound and the return are lodged by us. South Bimini is itself a port of entry, so the arrival clears where the aircraft parks. Bring the passports, nothing else.
On Board and Ashore
Catering on Board and a Cart at Bimini Sands
A cake for a birthday, a chef's lunch, rods for the flats: whatever comes aboard is ordered with the flight rather than requested once you are airborne. The ground works the same way. A cart to Bimini Sands or a table at Port Royal is booked with the aircraft, because on an island this quiet it is not found after landing.
How Long the Day Runs
Day Trip to a Week on South Bimini
The crossing is short enough to leave the day whole: coffee in Florida, lunch by the south marina, dinner back in the city. Stay a night, stay a week, or carry on to Andros before flying home. The aircraft is yours for as long as the plan runs, and the return hour moves with it.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Jet from Miami to South Bimini
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

Chartering an aircraft takes four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your South Bimini 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, a car or a golf cart waiting when you land, ground transport to 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 South Bimini Puts You Down
The jet is where a South Bimini day really begins. A flight high over the Gulf Stream, and then the quiet half of the island: the south marina, a mile of trail through the bush and the Sapona standing in the shallows offshore. Below is what a day out there can look like.
Plan Your South Bimini CharterAcross the Channel to Alice Town
Water Taxi
The first question on this island is which half the day belongs to. North and South Bimini are separate islands a couple of miles apart, divided by a narrow channel with no bridge across it. A water taxi covers the channel in a few minutes and runs when it is called rather than to a timetable. On an overnight stay it hardly registers. On a day out it is two crossings to plan around, so it goes into the itinerary rather than being discovered at the dock. Tell us which side the afternoon is for and the arrangements come back already made. Parties built around the bars and the big marinas of the north island often cross early and stay there, and the island guide covers both halves.
The Shark Lab on the South Shore
Field Station
On the south coast sits the island's best known name: the biological field station that has been studying sharks in these waters since the 1990s, from a small base with a beach on one side and a little harbour on the other. It is a working station and not a visitor centre, so any visit runs on their schedule. Mention it when you send the date rather than turning up at the gate. It sits well with an afternoon in the shallows with water toys or a boat collecting you on a dock pickup.
Bimini Sands and the South Marina
Where Guests Stay
The west side of the island holds a sheltered marina and the villas and beaches of Bimini Sands, and next to it Port Royal, where more than eighty holiday homes, a beach club and restaurants sit behind the shore. That is where most overnight guests on this side end up. It is also a short ride from the aircraft, which is the practical case for arriving on this island. A golf cart or a car can wait at arrival, a meet and greet helps a large or late party, and the afternoon happens without a boat ride in it.
The Bimini Nature Trail
One Mile on Foot
A marked trail of about a mile loops through the undeveloped interior behind the marina. It is flat, it takes under an hour, and it is the part of the island that still looks the way it did before the houses came. Lizards and birds are the usual company. The rare find is the Bimini boa, an endangered snake that lives nowhere else. Walk it with a guide or on your own. Either way it asks for nothing more than shoes.
The Fountain of Youth
On the Airport Road
On the road from the airport, under a stand of trees, is a small limestone well that local tradition links to the spring Juan Ponce de Leon was said to be looking for in the sixteenth century. The Bahamas tourist board tells the story on its own pages. There is a well, a short path and a sign, and ten minutes covers it. Because it is on the way in from the aircraft, nearly every party sees it, and nobody needs to plan a day around it.
The Sapona Off the Southern Tip
Fifteen Feet Down
South of the island the concrete hull of a ship from the First World War years sits where a hurricane left her in 1926. She was used as a bombing target later on, so what stands above the surface is a broken shell. Her main deck lies in around fifteen feet of water, close enough to the surface for snorkellers and divers to share the same view. A boat afternoon from the south marina reaches her quickly, and she pairs with an hour on the flats on the way back.
Flats, Bonefish and the Drop Off
Fishing Days
Behind the island the bank is shallow bonefish water, and a short run in the other direction the bottom falls away into deep blue. Few places this close to Florida offer both in the same morning. Book bonefishing and flats access for the day. Rods and hard cases fly with you within what the aircraft can carry on the day, so list them when you send the date. The baggage guidance covers the rest.
Onward Down the Chain
Same Aircraft
Landing here also works as the opening leg of a longer trip. Once the party has cleared in, the same aircraft can continue to Grand Bahama, Nassau, Harbour Island or Exuma and the Out Islands, all of which have paved runways a jet can use. The smallest cays are another matter: they are reached by seaplane or by helicopter rather than on this aircraft, and the Bahamas jet routes set out which islands take a jet directly. That is how one island becomes island hopping or a wider Bahamas day. If a yacht is meeting the party, that is a yacht transfer arranged with the flight, larger loads go as island logistics, and the packaged version of a day here is the South Bimini getaway day trip, with the rest of the chain on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Private Jet from Miami to South Bimini: The Gulf Stream Below You, the Hour You Keep and Bimini Sands
Everything above is the day itself. Below is the reasoning behind it: why a jet is the aircraft that shrugs off an afternoon over the Stream, how late the hour can still change, who handles the border, and what a day worth remembering looks like on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Jet South Bimini from Miami: Flying High and Fast Over the Gulf Stream
Over the Gulf Stream on a private jet from Miami to South Bimini
The crossing to South Bimini is short, and on this route the time in the air is rarely what spoils a day. The Gulf Stream is. Through the afternoon the Stream builds cloud and squalls between the Florida coast and the Bahamas bank. Boats sit in harbour and wait. Light aircraft pick their way underneath or turn back. A jet climbs through that layer and holds a steady altitude all the way across, so the same afternoon is usually nothing more than a view from the window. South Bimini lies around fifty-eight statute miles east of downtown Miami, and at altitude that is a short leg rather than a voyage. It also turns the trip into something you plan a week out instead of deciding on the morning: the question is no longer whether the day is possible but what hour you would like to land. The time saved comes back to you, and the cabin holds your party alone on jets in the fleet of this size. Other private jet routes from Miami fly the same way.
Private Jet to Miami from South Bimini: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private jet to South Bimini
A charter has no timetable to hand you. The day is set around the hour you choose. You decide when to lift off, when you want to be standing on South Bimini and which Miami airport is easiest from where you are staying. The aircraft is held for your party alone, so all three are yours to set, and moving them in the week before is a message to us. If the drive is quicker the other way, the same trip leaves from Fort Lauderdale. Check-in is the half hour before departure and nothing more. You walk from the car to the steps, the bags are loaded where you can see them, and the manifest lists your party and nobody else. The flight home is just as flexible. The crossing takes so little of the day that a later return is a quick message rather than a rebooking, which is why a slow afternoon at the south marina is the usual shape of this trip. An early departure and a late return are one booking at one price, and the timing is your call.
Private Jet Charter Miami to South Bimini: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a South Bimini crossing
A private jet from Miami to South Bimini crosses an international border on the way out and again on the way home. That is where trips come unstuck when nobody has filed ahead. Arriving in the Bahamas needs a declaration lodged from Florida and clearance at a port of entry, and coming home needs a US filing made before departure, which fixes the airport you may return to. On a Crown Air charter the crew handles all three. Your party brings valid passports. The airport on South Bimini is on the Bahamas customs list of ports of entry, so the arrival clears on the field where the aircraft parks, with no second airport flown first. Every passenger needs a passport, children too, as set out in the travel documents guidance. What may be carried is in the baggage guidance. The return airport comes back with the quote, and a departure moved by weather follows the weather and delays policy. If the party changes before the flight, the crew files again. Adding or removing a name is a message to us, not a complication for you.
Private Jet Charter from Miami to South Bimini: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a long weekend or something to celebrate on South Bimini
A private jet from Miami to South Bimini gets booked when the day deserves it: a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary, a weekend away with the people who matter most. The flight is short enough that the reason for the trip, not the travel, fills the day. Some parties fly over for the day and are back in Miami by evening. Others stay on at the south marina and book the return for whenever suits them. Both are the same charter, and the whole group travels on a single booking. If there is something to celebrate, tell us when you book: catering, a private chef, premium beverages and flowers all travel with you. Everything is ready before you board in Miami, and nothing has to be arranged on the island once you land. A date that has to look right is also a date that cannot slip, and that is the other half of what this aircraft gives you. That is what a Private Jet Charter from Miami to South Bimini is for.
Questions
Private Jet Miami to South Bimini: Questions Answered
How long is the private jet flight from Miami to South Bimini?
South Bimini lies around fifty-eight statute miles east of downtown Miami, the shortest international leg we fly from the city. On a jet it is a brief flight, and the exact block time arrives with your quote rather than as a figure on a web page.
What matters more is that the crossing uses so little of the day that the afternoon on the island is what you are really paying for.
Why fly a jet on such a short crossing?
Because of the Gulf Stream. Cloud and squalls build over it through the afternoon, and that is what moves plans on this route. Boats wait, and light aircraft fly under it or stay on the ground.
A jet climbs through the layer and holds one altitude across, so an afternoon that would stop others is usually a non-event, and the evening comes back with you intact.
Does the jet land on South Bimini itself?
Yes. The Bimini airport is on South Bimini, so the aircraft stops on the island you are visiting. It is also a port of entry, which means customs and immigration sit on the same field. There is no separate customs stop to fly first and no boat at the end, unless the afternoon is on North Bimini, which is a short water taxi across the channel.
Which Miami airport does the jet leave from?
There are several business airports around Miami, and the right one is the one closest to where your party is staying. The executive field north west of the city is the usual choice and also clears returning flights through US customs.
Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach work too and have their own pages. Tell us where you are based and the airport is chosen around you.
Can we set our own departure time?
Yes, within daylight and the hours the crew may fly. It is the main thing a charter gives you. The time is fixed when you confirm and can still move later if your plans change, because the aircraft is not needed elsewhere and there are no other passengers to consider. The return time moves the same way.
Will anyone else be on the jet?
No. The aircraft carries the names you give us and nobody else. There are no assigned seats, no other group in the cabin and no chance of it leaving without part of your party. Names can be added or dropped until shortly before departure, and that is a refiling on our side rather than a new booking on yours.
Do we need passports for South Bimini?
Yes, every passenger needs one, children included. The Bahamas is another country and arriving by jet does not change that. We take the passport details once when you enquire and file for both directions before you fly. The travel documents page shows what each passenger provides and when.
How early should we arrive?
About thirty minutes before departure. There is no terminal queue at either end. You arrive, walk to the aircraft, and the outbound border filing has already been made on our side, so there is nothing to hand over and nothing to print.
Is South Bimini a good day trip by jet?
Yes, and on a jet it is the relaxed version. The flight takes a small part of the day, both ends are quick, and the return time can still move while you are on the island. Leave in the morning, fly back in the evening, and the afternoon goes to the marina, the trail or a boat out to the Sapona.
What happens if the weather turns?
It happens less often than with anything else we fly on this route, which is the reason for the aircraft. A jet flies over the layer that holds the others down, so an afternoon of Gulf Stream weather is normally a non-event.
When it is not, the day moves: we would rather rebook than fly it poorly, you hear as soon as we know, and because the aircraft is reserved for your party it is a conversation rather than a wait for the next open seat.
How many guests can fly?
That depends on the aircraft and on what the party is bringing, so the answer comes with the quote. Send the headcount and the bags when you enquire and you get back what is available on your date, what each aircraft carries and what each costs. You pay for the aircraft rather than per seat, so the cost per person falls as the group grows.
How do we book?
Send the date, the number of guests, the airport that suits your morning and the hour you would like to leave. You get back what is available, the price, the boarding time and what is included, and nothing is held until you confirm.
If the day needs anything else, a cart at the south marina or a table at Port Royal, mention it then and it comes back priced with 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.
