North Eleuthera is the airport for two of the most sought-after spots in the Bahamas: Harbour Island, with its pink-sand beach and Dunmore Town, and Spanish Wells just across the water. Both are a short boat ride from the ELH airport — and flown private, the whole trip is a morning, not a marathon of connections.
The flight
Most North Eleuthera charters leave from Fort Lauderdale (Executive/FXE or FLL), with West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Miami, and our home base at Stuart (Witham Field) all on the map. From Fort Lauderdale it’s roughly an hour of flying — you leave a private terminal in the morning and you’re at the water taxi before lunch.
The aircraft
North Eleuthera is flown on our Piper Navajo Chieftain, a cabin-class piston twin that carries up to six passengers with room for luggage. It’s the right airplane for this route — economical and comfortable on the island’s runway. It’s your aircraft for the day. For larger groups or longer legs, our Cessna Citation is available.
Every Coastal Connections flight is operated under FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate F22A542J.
Arriving at North Eleuthera
North Eleuthera Airport (ELH) is a Bahamian airport of entry, so you clear customs and immigration right where you land. Every passenger needs a valid passport, and you’ll complete the standard Bahamas immigration and customs card on arrival; we file the U.S. Customs notice for your flight home in advance. From the airport it’s a two-minute drive to the ferry dock and a short crossing to Harbour Island or Spanish Wells.
Why fly private to North Eleuthera
- Direct, no Nassau connection. Commercial routing costs you the day; you fly straight to Eleuthera.
- Your schedule. Leave when your group is ready, come home when the weekend’s done.
- Bring what the trip needs. Luggage, beach gear, the dog — it flies with you.
- Privacy on both ends. A private terminal in Florida, a quick clearance at ELH.
