The Charter
Private Plane Miami to Dunmore Town
A charter is not a ticket. You are not buying a seat next to strangers, you are booking the aircraft. That one difference decides everything else about the day: who is on board, what hour it leaves, and which end of Eleuthera it rolls to a stop on.
Dunmore Town stands on Harbour Island, and the island has no runway. The field that serves it is just under four miles off across the water. Three fields serve this island, spread along its length, and every one of them takes arriving aircraft from abroad. Which of the three your day uses is a decision your party makes rather than one a timetable makes for it.
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 a little over two hundred miles of open water and one of several small plane routes from Miami. The same aircraft carries on to the rest of the Bahamas on the same day.
Plan Your Dunmore Town Charter
How It Works
How a Private Plane to Dunmore Town 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 Dunmore Town 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 arrive early to secure anything.
It also means the party can change up to 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. That is why a same day return from Dunmore Town works at all: you are back before the afternoon builds rather than waiting on the next available departure. If the morning slips, the aircraft waits, because it has nowhere else to be.
The Terminal
You walk out of a private terminal, not through an airport
Both ends of this route are general aviation. In Florida you park, walk to the aircraft and go, with the outbound filing already done from the departure point. At the far end the border desk sits in the building beside the apron. There is no terminal to cross, no queue to join, and nothing for your party to carry further than the door.
The Crossing
The last few miles are arranged with the flight, not found on arrival
Harbour Island has no runway, so every wheeled aircraft finishes the trip on the water. A taxi from the apron and a boat over the channel is a matter of minutes, and it is booked with the flight rather than hailed when you land.
A cart on the town side is the same conversation. Tell us the arrival hour and the ground transport is standing there when the door opens.
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 island.
That is what turns a crossing into a day rather than a schedule to work backwards from: lunch can run long, the boat can come back late, and the aircraft is still there.
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 Dunmore Town
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 Dunmore Town
Chartering an aircraft is not booking a seat. There are four steps, and only the first one is yours.
Plan Your Dunmore Town 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, and say where on the island you are staying, because that decides the field.
- 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 and the landing site. Then everything around the flight. Catering on board, the boat and the cart waiting when you land, ground transport to your hotel or back to the field. You approve it, you pay, and your boarding time, departure point 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, land where you asked to land, and enjoy the day.
On the Island
Where a Private Plane Charter to Dunmore Town from Miami Puts You Down
Once the wheels stop, nothing about the rest of the day is fixed. No return departure to work back from, no group to keep together, and no hour that somebody else set. What follows is a menu rather than an itinerary.
These are the things parties on this crossing ask for, in the order they tend to ask for them.
Plan Your Dunmore Town CharterArriving Before the Boats Do
The First HourThe harbour front fills up in the middle of the morning, when the ferries and the day tours put their passengers ashore. Before that it belongs to the people who live there and to whoever else got up early.
A chartered aircraft is the only way to be in that first group without sleeping on the island. You name the hour, the crossing takes a little over an hour of flying, and the boat over the channel is waiting because it was booked with the flight rather than found on arrival.
Ask for ground transport at the enquiry and a cart is on the town side as well. On an island where carts are the traffic, that is the difference between walking into the morning and standing at the landing waiting for one.
Preacher's Cave, Up the North Road
Fifteen Minutes Inland
A shipload of English settlers struck the reef off the north shore in 1648, got ashore, and spent their first months in a limestone cave a little way inland. They held their services in it, which is how it got the name, and the settlement that grew out of it was the first English one in the Bahamas.
It is a fifteen minute drive from the northern field, on the way to a long empty beach, and almost nobody with a return flight to catch ever sees it. That is the point. When the aircraft waits for you, an hour spent inland costs an hour and nothing else.
The Glass Window Bridge
Thirty Feet Between Two Seas
Eleuthera narrows to about thirty feet at one point along its length, and a single span of road carries the highway across it. On the north side the Atlantic comes in dark and deep. On the south side the Bight lies flat and pale green a few feet deep. You can stand between the two.
It sits roughly twelve miles down the island from the northern field, which makes it a stop on the way rather than a day of its own. A party on a scheduled return rarely has the room for it. A party that owns the afternoon can drive down, look, and still be back for the boat.
Horses on the Pink Sand
Early or Late
The ocean side of the island is three miles of sand with a pink cast to it, and one of the things people come to do on it is ride. Small groups, an hour at a walk and a canter, out into the shallows at the edge if the horses are willing.
The hours worth having are the early one and the last one, and both are outside what a scheduled arrival can reach. Book it well ahead between December and April, tell us at the enquiry, and the flight is set around it . Anything more particular than that is a custom request and we would rather hear it early than well.
A House Further Down the Island
Not Everyone Stays in Town
Plenty of parties who fly this crossing are not staying on Harbour Island at all. Eleuthera runs a hundred miles from top to bottom and the rentals are strung along all of it, so a house in the middle or in the south is a long drive from the north end.
This is where the aircraft earns the difference on the ground rather than in the air. Land at the field nearest the house and the drive is minutes instead of most of the afternoon. Tell us the address at the enquiry, not the island, and it changes which field the day uses.
Staying the Night After All
No Return Leg to Beat
A day here has a way of becoming two. The afternoon on the sand runs long, somebody finds a table for dinner, and the flight home stops being the thing the day is built around. On a scheduled return that is a rebooking and a fare.
On a charter it is a message, because the aircraft was never carrying anyone else and the only real limits are daylight and what the crew is allowed to fly. Send us the new hour and we refile. A single island and back in a day is a Dunmore Town getaway; two days is the same aircraft with a different return.
What Comes With You
Weighed, Not Counted
When the aircraft carries one party, what goes in the back is a conversation about weight rather than a rule about bag counts. That is a practical difference on this crossing more than a philosophical one. Golf clubs, dive tanks, rods, a cooler for the boat, a case of something for the house: all of it travels, within the payload for the aircraft on the day.
Because nobody else is on board, the trade is between your own passengers and your own load, and you decide where it falls. The baggage guidance sets out how that works. Anything larger than luggage is a different service on the same field, and that is island logistics rather than a charter with extra bags.
Carrying On the Same Day
Your Itinerary
Harbour Island is often the first stop rather than the whole trip. Once your party is in the country, every leg after it counts as a domestic one, which is what makes stringing them together simple. An aircraft that belongs to you for the day can take those legs in any order you like.
Grand Bahama, Nassau, Andros and Staniel Cay and the Exumas all take the same type, and none of them send you back to a hub first. That is the shape of an island hopping day or a longer Bahamas day. The full list is on the Bahamas destinations page.

In Detail
Private Plane Charter Miami to Dunmore Town: One Party, One Aircraft, Three Fields to Choose From
Everything above is the day. What follows is the detail behind it: who is on board, who does the paperwork, which of the three fields on the island the aircraft uses and how late the hour can still move on a flight to the Bahamas.
Private Plane Miami to Dunmore Town: Flying Low Over the Reef and the Flats
Room enough and a window each on a Dunmore Town 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. From Miami the straight line to the town is about 222 statute miles, just over 193 nautical, and almost none of it has anything on it. What is unique is that the paperwork happens while you are still at home, and the only thing asked of your party on the day is to bring the passports it already has. 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. Where the last few miles are water and you would rather not cross them, the same day runs on a seaplane and comes alongside the town. 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 Dunmore Town from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Your hour, your names and a private plane to Dunmore Town
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 Dunmore Town 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 Dunmore Town: The Crew Files Both Borders, You Carry a Passport
Passports are all your party carries on a Dunmore Town crossing
A private plane from Miami to Dunmore Town 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 Dunmore Town: Milestone Days and Bahamas Weekends
A day trip, a weekend or something to celebrate on Dunmore Town
A private private plane from Miami to Dunmore Town 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 Dunmore Town is for. We hold the aircraft, the hour and the extras you asked for, and what happens once you are there 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 Dunmore Town: Questions Answered
What does chartering a private plane to Dunmore Town 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 over the channel and a cart on the town side.
You are booking the airframe rather than seats on it, so the price covers the flight whether four people travel or eight. Catering 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 crossing. 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.
In practice most parties leave in the morning and come back in the afternoon, but an early departure and a late return are both normal requests rather than exceptions. 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 we decide which airport on Eleuthera we land at?
Yes, and on this crossing it is worth deciding rather than defaulting. Three fields sit along the island, one at the north end, one halfway down and one in the south, and all three accept arriving aircraft from abroad.
A party staying on Harbour Island uses the northern one because it is the shortest way to the water. A party with a house further down the island saves an hour of driving by using the field nearest to it. Tell us where you are actually staying and the answer follows from that.
Do we have to connect through Nassau to reach Dunmore Town?
No. The aircraft flies straight to Eleuthera and the arrival formalities happen at the field where it stops, so there is no extra landing and no wait between two flights.
Connecting through a larger airport is what scheduled travel to the out islands usually requires, and it is the step a private charter removes. The same is true further down the chain: once your party is in the country, an onward leg to another island is domestic.
How early do we need to be at the airport?
About thirty minutes. There is no terminal to cross and no queue to join at either end, because both ends of this route are general aviation. You park, walk to the aircraft and go. The outbound border 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.
Is the boat at the end included in the charter?
It is if you ask for it, and almost everybody does. Harbour Island has no runway, so a wheeled aircraft finishes the trip with a short ride and a boat across the channel.
Booked with the flight, both are waiting when the door opens and a cart can be waiting on the other side as well. Left to chance, it is the one part of the day that turns into standing around.
Can we fly on to another island the same day?
Often yes. Once the aircraft is yours it can carry on down the chain rather than return to a hub first, and the fields in the Abacos and the Exumas take the same type. Send the whole itinerary at the enquiry and it comes back as one day rather than two 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 this crossing there is a second one: no connection to make and no waiting between two flights. Send the date and the headcount and you get real numbers rather than an estimate.
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 cart 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.
