Nassau, Exuma, Eleuthera

New York to Nassau is 1,000 miles. On a private charter that is three hours nonstop, with no airline schedule, no connection in Miami, and no one else on board.

The New York to Bahamas corridor is one of the five most active private jet routes on the East Coast. A Friday afternoon out of Teterboro, three nights anywhere you want in the islands, and a Monday morning return. Four days without losing a single vacation day to airports.

Nassau has the infrastructure. Exuma has the sandbars. Eleuthera is where people stop talking about going and actually go. Every one of them is a direct flight from the New York metro area.

Where you board
in New York.

Four private aviation airports serve the metro area. The right one depends on where you are in the city, not where everyone else departs from.

01

Teterboro Airport

TEB Primary

The busiest private jet airport in the United States by operations. 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. No commercial traffic, no airline queues. Full international customs on site. Every major FBO in the area has a presence here.

Exuma

The water island.

The sandbars are real. The swimming pigs are real. The color of the water is genuinely what it looks like in the photos. Exuma International accepts direct private jets from New York. George Town is 10 minutes from the airstrip. The private cays are a short boat ride beyond that.

The quiet island.

Pink sand beaches that stretch for miles with almost no one on them. Harbour Island is 10 minutes across the water by taxi boat. The runway at North Eleuthera handles midsize jets without issue. If Nassau is the capital and Exuma is the spectacle, Eleuthera is the reward for knowing where to go.

Common Questions

What people ask
before booking.

How long is the flight from New York to Nassau?

About three hours nonstop from Teterboro. The distance is roughly 1,000 miles. Nassau is in the same time zone as New York, so there is no adjustment on arrival. A commercial connection through Miami or Charlotte typically takes five to six hours on a good day.

Which New York airport is best for this route?

Teterboro for most passengers in Manhattan or New Jersey. Republic Airport on Long Island for anyone departing from the Hamptons or East End. Westchester for passengers coming from Connecticut or Westchester County. Your advisor confirms which one works best for your address and travel dates.

Can I fly directly to Exuma or Eleuthera from New York?

Yes. Both Exuma International and North Eleuthera handle private jet arrivals directly from the New York area without stopping in Nassau. Exuma is about three and a half hours from Teterboro. Your advisor confirms aircraft suitability based on runway length at each destination.

Do I need a passport for the Bahamas?

Yes, a valid US passport is required. On the return through Nassau, US Customs preclearance is available, which means you clear before boarding and land at Teterboro as a domestic arrival. Your advisor covers all documentation requirements at the time of booking.

Can I travel with my pet?

Yes. Pets travel in the cabin on all Fly Tango Jets flights. The Bahamas has specific entry requirements for animals, including health certificates. Your advisor coordinates all of that in advance. No cargo hold, no breed restrictions.

Can you arrange a multi-island trip?

Yes. Multi-island Bahamas trips from New York are built as a single package. The flight down, inter-island legs, ground transport at every stop, and the return. Nassau to Exuma is 30 minutes. Nassau to Eleuthera is about 45 minutes. One booking covers the whole trip.

What is included in the charter?

Private ground transport to the FBO, in-flight catering, FBO lounge access, Bahamas documentation advisory, ground transport at the destination, real-time updates throughout, and pet-friendly arrangements if needed. The return flight is managed with identical coordination.

How quickly can a charter be arranged?

Same-day and next-day departures are available depending on aircraft inventory and the date. Your advisor confirms what is on the ground and presents options as fast as the booking requires.
