The Charter
Private Plane Miami to Blue Lagoon Island
A charter is not a ticket. Nobody sells you a seat and puts a stranger in the one beside it, because the aircraft itself is what you book. That single difference decides the rest of the day: who boards, what hour it leaves, and how little of the morning is spent waiting for other people.
Blue Lagoon Island is a private island off Nassau with no runway on it, so the aircraft lands three miles away and a boat covers the rest. That last stretch is about twenty minutes on the water. What a charter changes is everything before it: you are through the border desk and aboard the boat while a scheduled party is still queueing at a terminal.
Everything between the two ends is ours: the departure point in Miami, 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, and turns up shortly before the boarding time rather than hours ahead of it.
It is one of several small plane routes from Miami and the same aircraft carries on to the rest of the Bahamas once your party is cleared in.
Plan Your Blue Lagoon Island Charter
How It Works
How a Private Plane to Blue Lagoon Island from Miami Actually Works
Six things change the moment the aircraft belongs to one party for the day, and none of them are about the aircraft itself.
Plan Your Blue Lagoon Island CharterThe Manifest
The passenger list is written by you and nobody adds to it
A charter carries the people you name and no one else. There is no seat map to be assigned around, no stranger in the row behind, and no reason to get to the field early to secure anything.
It also means the party can still change the day before: a name added, a name dropped, a child who turns out to be coming after all. We refile and the flight is the same flight.
The Clock
The departure time is a decision rather than a listing
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 a route with a boat at the end that is worth more than it sounds: an early departure puts your party on the water at Blue Lagoon Island before the cruise tenders arrive, and a late one brings you back long after the day boats have gone home.
The Terminal
You walk out of a private terminal, not through an airport
In Florida you park, walk to the aircraft and go, with the outbound filing already done from the departure point. At Nassau the general aviation side has its own border desk, so your party never crosses the main terminal or joins the line that formed behind an arriving airliner. That one saving is most of what stands between landing and being on the boat.
The Water Leg
The last three miles are booked with the flight, not found on arrival
The island is reached by boat and there is no bridge, so the last three miles are always on the water. What a charter changes is that the crossing is arranged around your landing . A car takes your party from the aircraft to the dock and the boat is there, which is a different morning from standing at a ferry terminal reading a timetable somebody else wrote.
The Return
The way home belongs to you in the same way the way out does
A return leg on a scheduled service is the hour somebody else published. On a charter it is the hour you name on the morning, and it can move again while you are still on the sand. Lunch can run long, the last swim can turn into two, and the aircraft is still at Nassau because it has nowhere else to be.
The Weather
Weather is the one thing a charter does not make more flexible
Everything else on this page bends. Weather does not, and we would rather move a day than fly it badly. You hear from us as early as we know, and the flight is rebooked rather than flown. Because the aircraft was held for your party and nobody else, moving it is a conversation and not a queue for the next available seat.
Departure Points
Departure Points for a Private Plane Charter from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island
The aircraft is booked for your party alone, so the departure point is yours to pick rather than something a timetable decides. These are the four we fly from around Miami. Select one to see exactly where it sits.
Miami Executive
Miami Executive Airport, TMB, Kendall
Kendall-Tamiami in the south west of the county, a general aviation field where the distance from the car to the aircraft is measured in steps. Nobody is waiting on a boarding call, because the only people on the flight are the ones who booked it. It is the shortest drive from the south and west of Miami-Dade.
Opa-locka Executive
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, OPF
The executive airport north west of the city, where your group waits in a private terminal and walks out when it is ready. Most island days leave from here, and the same building clears the return into the United States. There is no check-in queue, so the morning is built around your day.
Miami International
Miami International Airport, MIA
A pickup rather than a base, for a party already off an airline flight that wants the island leg from the same airport. Arranged per flight and confirmed with the operator before it is quoted. It is the one departure point that costs you time, because a commercial field runs to its own order.
Fort Lauderdale Executive
Fort Lauderdale Executive, FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive, chosen when the group is north of Miami and the drive south would eat the hour the flight saves. The return clears in its own building there, so a day need not end where it began. The aircraft positions to meet you.
How to Charter
How to Book Before Flying Private Plane from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island
Chartering an aircraft is not booking a seat. There are four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Blue Lagoon Island Charter- 01
Contact Us
Write to us on WhatsApp or by email. Send your dates, how many guests, where you are coming from and where you want to travel. Tell us the hour you would like to leave. An early departure is worth asking for here, because the island is quietest before the day boats.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We check what is free on your date and send the aircraft that fit 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 pickup point, the landing field and the crossing. Then everything around the flight. Catering on board, a car at Nassau, ground transport to the dock or on to a hotel afterwards. Flowers if the day is a special one. You approve it, you pay, and your boarding time and everything included come back to you.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
You will have no terminal and no queue. Just make sure you are there 30 minutes before. Then you take off, clear in at Nassau, and step onto the boat with the day still ahead of you.
On the Island
Where a Private Plane Charter to Blue Lagoon Island from Miami Puts You Down
The aircraft stops rolling at Nassau, three miles from the sand, and the border desk sits on the general aviation side rather than inside the main terminal. From that moment the day is unscheduled. There is no return departure to work back from and no group to keep together, so what follows is a menu rather than an itinerary.
These are the things parties on this route actually ask for, in the order they ask for them.
Plan Your Blue Lagoon Island CharterNassau, Three Miles From the Sand
Where You Land
The field is Lynden Pindling International on New Providence, and it is the one fixed point of the day. It is also a port of entry, so landing and clearing in are the same stop rather than two. A charter uses the general aviation side of it, which is a different building and a different pace from the one an airliner empties into.
The filing is already in from our side, the desk keeps daytime hours, and the walk from the aircraft to the far side of it is usually minutes. From there the island is yours until you say otherwise. Nobody is holding a return time over you.
The Boat Across to Salt Cay
About Twenty Minutes
Blue Lagoon Island is the working name of Salt Cay, and the only way onto it is the water. There is no bridge and no road, which is most of the reason it still looks the way it does. The crossing is short and it leaves from the dock side of Paradise Island.
What a charter changes is that it is arranged around your landing instead of the other way round: ask for ground transport at the enquiry and a car takes your party from the aircraft to the boat without a timetable in between.
The Animals Before the Tenders Arrive
Early Is Yours
Dolphins, sea lions and southern stingrays all live on the island, and the programmes around them are the single most requested thing on this route, particularly with children in the party. The reason to care about the hour is that everything on a small island is better before it fills.
A charter that leaves Miami early has your group ashore while the first tenders are still loading somewhere else, and an hour of that is worth more than an extra hour at the end of the day.
What each programme involves belongs on the Blue Lagoon Island page rather than here. Tell us which ones you want when you send the dates and they are booked with the flight.
The Lagoon After the Day Boats Leave
The Quiet Hours
The island is built around a sheltered lagoon with white sand and coconut palms on three sides of it, and the snorkelling runs straight off the beach rather than out of a boat.
Late afternoon is the half of the day almost nobody on a scheduled boat ever sees, because the last crossing back takes them off before it starts. With your own aircraft waiting at Nassau the beach empties around you instead, and the swim you were going to skip becomes the part everybody remembers.
Paradise Island, Two Miles West
Also Yours
Paradise Island sits two miles from the lagoon, and the resort side of it is the other thing parties combine with this day: the water park, the marina and the beach that runs the length of the north shore. A day split between the two is only possible if the hour home is yours.
The boat back from the island lands you where the resorts are, so an afternoon there costs nothing but the time, and the time is the thing a charter gives you. Say so at the enquiry and it is built in rather than squeezed in.
Nassau for Lunch or the Whole Afternoon
The Big Island
Nassau itself is fifteen minutes from the dock, and it is where parties go when the island was the morning rather than the whole plan. The harbour, the old town above it and the beaches west of it are all a short run apart.
A table held for a particular hour is a fly and dine day as much as a charter, and anything more particular than that is a custom request. We would rather hear it early than well, because on a day with a boat in the middle of it the sequence matters more than the list.
Chub Cay, Andros and the Exumas
Carrying On
Once your party is cleared in at Nassau, every leg after it is domestic. That is what turns one island into a chain: an aircraft that belongs to you for the day can string the legs together in any order you like.
Chub Cay sits north in the Berry Islands, Andros has fields at both ends of it, Staniel Cay and the Exumas lie south, and Harbour Island is a short hop east through North Eleuthera.
None of them send you back to a hub first. That is the shape of an island hopping day or a longer Bahamas day; a single island and back is a Blue Lagoon Island day trip. The full list is on the Bahamas destinations page.
What Waits at the Dock
Arranged, Not Found
On a day with a boat in the middle of it, the ground half decides how much of the island you actually get. A car at the aircraft, a boat held for your group, a table booked for the afternoon: all of it is set up with the flight rather than found on arrival.
What comes with you is the same kind of question. Because the aircraft carries one party, what goes in the back is a conversation about weight rather than a rule about bag counts, and the baggage guidance sets out how that works. Anything larger than luggage is island logistics rather than a charter with extra bags.

In Detail
Private Plane Charter Miami to Blue Lagoon Island: One Party, One Aircraft, One Short Crossing
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind it: who is on board, who does the paperwork, why the field at the far end is yours to pick, and how late the hour can still move on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Plane Miami to Blue Lagoon Island: Flying Low Over the Reef and the Flats
A window each on a Miami to Blue Lagoon Island private plane
The crossing is not dead time between two airports. The cabin is yours for it, so what is below is part of the day rather than something to sit through. The water crossing runs about 185 statute miles, a little over 160 nautical, and it is one of several Small Plane routes from the city. Everything between the two ends is ours: the departure point in Miami, the aircraft and the crew, both border filings and the travel documents the Bahamas wants before you leave Florida. The payload is yours, so the trade between passengers and weight is too, which is why what you bring is a conversation on a charter rather than a published allowance. What it means in practice is that nobody in your group is asked to fill in anything, queue for anything or produce anything beyond the passport they already packed. The cabin belongs to your party and nobody else, so the crossing is yours to spend as you like. what travels with you is arranged before you board.
Private Plane to Blue Lagoon Island from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private plane to Blue Lagoon Island
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 Blue Lagoon Island and which water 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. 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. Nothing about the morning waits on a stranger. Because the aircraft is yours, the field it leaves from is a choice and not a given. And the crossing is a reason in itself. The windows are deep and the aircraft crosses low, so there is room for everybody to sit and watch the water change instead of taking turns at one of them.
Private Plane Charter from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Blue Lagoon Island crossing
A private plane from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island crosses an international border twice in a day. 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 is what sets where you may land coming home. Passports for everyone, children included, per the travel documents guidance. What may travel sits in the baggage guidance. That same filing sets where you land coming home: a return from the islands clears at None, so a day that began on the water finishes on a ramp and a departure moved by weather runs under the weather and delays policy. If the party changes before the flight, the crew refiles. A name added, a name dropped: that is a message to us rather than a problem for you.
Flying Private Plane from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a weekend or a celebration on Blue Lagoon Island
A private private plane from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island is booked when the day is worth marking: a birthday, a proposal, a graduation, a weekend away with the people who matter. The flight is short enough that the occasion, not the travelling, is what the day is about. That is what a private plane from Miami to Blue Lagoon Island is for. We hold the aircraft, the hour and the extras you asked for, and what happens on the sand is yours to arrange. An anniversary where the catering on board is part of the surprise rather than an afterthought. 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.
Questions
Private Plane Miami to Blue Lagoon Island: Questions Answered
What does chartering a private plane to Blue Lagoon Island actually include?
The aircraft and the crew for your party, both border filings, and the ground arrangements you ask for at either end, including the boat across to the island.
You are booking the airframe rather than seats on it, so the price covers the flight whether four people travel or eight. Catering, a car at Nassau and onward transport are added when you ask for them and come back priced with the aircraft.
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 on this route. 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.
An early departure is the one most parties end up asking for, because it puts you on the sand before the day boats arrive. A late return is just as normal a request. Tell us the hour you actually want rather than the one you think is on offer.
Is anyone else on the private plane?
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 because a connection did not hold.
It also means the passenger list can change up to shortly before the flight: a name added or dropped is a refiling on our side rather than a rebooking on yours.
Can a private plane land on Blue Lagoon Island itself?
No, and nothing on wheels can. The island has no runway, no bridge and no road, which is exactly why it stayed the way it is.
The aircraft lands three miles away on New Providence and a boat covers the rest, about twenty minutes on the water. If you would rather skip the boat altogether, a seaplane sets down on the water instead and that is a different page and a different aircraft.
Do I need a passport for Blue Lagoon Island?
Yes, for every passenger including children. The Bahamas is a different country and a private aircraft 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.
How early do we need to be at the airport?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal to cross and no queue to join on the Florida side, because you leave from a private terminal rather than an airline one. You park, walk to the aircraft and go. The outbound filing is already done from our side before you arrive, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.
Can we change the passenger list after booking?
Yes, up to the day before in most cases. A name added or dropped means we refile the manifest, and the flight is otherwise unchanged. Tell us as early as you can, because the paperwork is what needs the notice, not the aircraft.
Can we fly on to another island the same day?
Often yes. Once your party is cleared in, every leg after it is domestic, so the aircraft can carry on down the chain rather than return to a hub first. Andros, Staniel Cay and the Exumas, Chub Cay in the Berry Islands and North Eleuthera all take the same type. Send the whole itinerary at the enquiry and it comes back as one day rather than three separate flights.
What if the weather turns on the day?
The day moves. Weather is the one thing a charter does not make flexible, and we would rather move a flight than fly it badly.
You are told as early as we know, and the aircraft is rebooked to a date that works for your party. Because the aircraft was held for you and nobody else, moving it is a conversation rather than a queue for the next available seat.
Is a private charter cheaper than scheduled flights for a group?
It depends on the size of the party and what the day is worth to you. The aircraft costs the same whether it is full or not, so the cost per person falls as the group grows, and a party of six or eight is where the comparison usually turns.
What does not show up in a fare comparison is the hour you get back at each end of the day, and on a route with a boat at the end that hour is the difference between a morning on the island and a whole day there. Send the date and the headcount and you get real numbers rather than an estimate.
Can the private plane collect us from a marina or a hotel dock?
Not on wheels. A private plane runs airport to airport. If the pickup needs to be a marina, a hotel dock or a beach, the same day runs on a seaplane instead and we can collect you there.
How do we start?
Send the date, the number of guests, where you are leaving from and the hour you would like. You get back the aircraft that are free, what each one 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 at the dock or a table booked for the afternoon, say so at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.
Can I bring a pet on a private plane 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.
