Nassau is the natural first stop in the islands: Paradise Island and Atlantis, Cable Beach, the cruise-free side of downtown, and the connection point for the rest of the Bahamas. Flown private, it’s a short morning hop from the Florida coast instead of a day built around an airline schedule.
The flight
Most Nassau charters leave from Fort Lauderdale (Executive/FXE or FLL) or Miami (Opa-locka or MIA), with West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and our home base at Stuart (Witham Field) all on the map. From South Florida it’s roughly 45 minutes to an hour in the air — you leave a private terminal and you’re on Bahamian soil before the morning’s over.
The aircraft
The Nassau run is flown on our Piper Navajo Chieftain, a cabin-class piston twin that carries up to six passengers with room for luggage — the right-sized, economical airplane for a hop this short. For larger groups or onward long-haul legs, our Cessna Citation is available. Either way, it’s your aircraft for the day, not a shared seat.
Every Coastal Connections flight is operated under FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate F22A542J.
Arriving at Nassau
Lynden Pindling International (NAS) is a full airport of entry with a dedicated general-aviation side, so you clear customs and immigration on arrival and step straight into your trip. Every passenger needs a valid passport, and you’ll complete the standard Bahamas immigration and customs card; we file the U.S. Customs notice for your flight home in advance. From the airport it’s a short ride to Paradise Island, Cable Beach, or downtown.
Why fly private to Nassau
- On your schedule. Depart when your group is ready, return when the trip is done.
- Straight there. No layovers, no gate changes, no waiting on the airline.
- Bring what you need. Golf clubs, luggage, provisions — it all flies with you.
- Privacy on both ends. A private terminal in Florida, a quick clearance in Nassau.
