Unpretentious and friendly

Charter · 20–50 min each way
Nassau is the hub for the Out Islands, and a charter is often the only sensible way there. Reckon 20 minutes to Eleuthera, 35 to Exuma, 50 to Long Island; a six-seat twin runs roughly $1,200–$2,600 return depending on distance. Book through the FBOs at LPIA — Odyssey Aviation and Jet Nassau handle most private movements and can arrange customs pre-clearance.
