The Route
Fly from Miami to Nassau by Private Jet
Nassau lies about 160 nautical miles east-southeast of Miami on New Providence, and a private jet covers it in about 35 to 45 minutes. Every private jet from Miami to Nassau leaves from a Miami airport with a private terminal and lands at Lynden Pindling International, where the runway takes every jet class and customs and immigration are on site.
Velvet Air books every Miami to Nassau private jet and a licensed carrier flies it. You give us the day and the size of your group, we come back with the jets that fit, and everything arrives as one total. Names and passport numbers are filed from our side for both borders, so the crossing needs nothing from you but a valid passport.
Four jet classes are offered from Miami to Nassau, from a light jet for six to a heavy jet for twelve. The choice right below shows the difference at a glance, and hourly rates for each class are on our Miami private jet charter page. For a seaplane, a helicopter or a small plane, our flights from Miami to Nassau cover every aircraft.

How It Works
How a Private Jet to Nassau from Miami Works
Flying from Miami to Nassau by private jet works the same way in every jet class. Here is what every Miami to Nassau private jet includes, from the first message to the landing on New Providence.
Plan Your Private JetDistance and Time
About 160 Nautical Miles, 35 to 45 Minutes
Nassau is about 160 nautical miles east-southeast of Miami, roughly three times as far as Bimini. By jet that is about 35 to 45 minutes in the air, a little less in a faster class and a little more against a headwind. The quote gives the planned time for your jet and your date.
Runway
Every Jet Class Lands at Lynden Pindling
Lynden Pindling International (NAS) has a runway of about 11,000 feet, long enough for every class on a Miami to Nassau private jet, from the light jet to the heavy Challenger 650. Private aircraft are handled at the private aviation terminals, away from the airline halls, so the walk from the jet to your car is short.
The Whole Aircraft
Your Group, Your Jet, Your Departure Time
Only the people you name are on board. There is no seat map and no other party, and the departure hour is yours within what the crew is allowed to fly. The light jet seats six, the midsize and super midsize jets eight and the heavy jet twelve.
Both Borders
Customs on Arrival in Nassau, Filings Before You Leave
Every passenger needs a valid passport, children included. Lynden Pindling International is a designated airport of entry with customs and immigration on site, so the group clears the border where it lands. We file the names and passport numbers for both borders before you leave Miami.
Bags and Gear
Golf Clubs, Dive Gear and Coolers
Golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, and there is room for them. Baggage is planned by weight, so tell us what you are bringing when you write, and the quote names a jet with the hold your group needs.
On Board and On Arrival
Catering, Celebrations and a Car in Nassau
Food and drinks for the cabin, a yacht waiting for you, flowers or a gift for an occasion, and a car at the private terminal in Nassau can be ordered with the jet. They appear on the same quote, so nothing is left to arrange on the day.
Why Velvet Air
Why Velvet Air for a Private Jet from Miami to Nassau?

As an independent Miami air charter specialist, we are not tied to one fleet: we work directly with carefully selected, licensed operators and pick the jet that fits your date, your group and the island you are flying to. You keep one point of contact and one total price from the first message until you land.
Plan Your Private JetDeparture Points
Miami Departure Points for Your Private Jet to Nassau
A private jet from Miami to Nassau leaves from one of three airports around the city. The airport nearest to your hotel is the one we choose, and it is already named in the quote.
Select a departure point to see the location
A general aviation airport in the north of the city. Its runway is about 8,000 feet long, US Customs is on the field, and three full-service private terminals operate there: Atlantic Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation and Signature Flight Support. Every private jet from Miami to Nassau can leave from here, in any class, and guests staying in the north are closest.
Miami Executive is the general aviation airport in Kendall, southwest of central Miami. If you are staying in the south or southwest, the jet to Nassau can leave from here and you skip the drive across town to an airfield in the north.
Miami’s main airport. Guests who arrive by airline and want to fly on to Nassau the same day start here, and we plan the departure time of the jet around the hour you land.
- 01
Contact Us
Write on WhatsApp or by email: the date, how many of you, roughly how much luggage, and whether you fly home the same day or stay in Nassau. A preferred departure hour helps too.
- 02
Get Aircraft and Prices Back
We check which jets are free on your date and send the class that fits your Miami to Nassau trip, the Miami airport, the time in the air and one total for the whole aircraft, with what it includes.
- 03
Confirm and Pay Securely
You confirm and complete the booking with a secure credit card payment, and the jet and crew are held for you. Catering, flowers or a car in Nassau are added now, and the names and passport numbers of everyone flying come to us for both borders.
- 04
Just Arrive 30 Minutes Before Departure
Arrive at the private terminal about thirty minutes before the time we sent. There is no airline queue; your bags go to the aircraft, the outbound filing is already done, and the jet leaves when your group is aboard.
In Nassau
What to See When Your Private Jet from Miami Lands in Nassau
Below are six places to see after a private jet from Miami to Nassau, from the resorts on Paradise Island to the reef off Rose Island.
Plan Your Private JetSelect a spot to see where it is
From the private terminal, Paradise Island is a drive across New Providence and over the bridge. The Atlantis resort stands at its western end, and the Marina Village with its shops, restaurants and casino is open without a day pass. Cabbage Beach runs for more than two miles along the north shore.
Cable Beach is about two and a half miles of white sand on the north shore, around three miles west of downtown Nassau. The Baha Mar complex behind it opened in April 2017, with pools, a casino and a golf course, and a car from the jet takes you straight to the door.
Bay Street is the heart of the old town, with Parliament Square and its pink government buildings across from Rawson Square, and the Straw Market and the Pompey Museum on the same stretch. A chauffeur drops you at the waterfront, and the sights are a few minutes apart on foot.
Blue Lagoon Island, officially Salt Cay, lies off the north coast of Paradise Island, about twenty to twenty-five minutes by ferry from the marina terminal. It is known for its beach and its dolphin programme, and with the last ferry back around four in the afternoon, an early Miami to Nassau jet gives you the full day.
Rose Island is a small, uninhabited island just east of Paradise Island, about twenty-five minutes by boat. With a yacht waiting for you in Nassau, the day can combine a reef snorkel with a beach stop, and the route follows the weather on the day.
Lynden Pindling International on New Providence is where every private jet from Miami to Nassau lands, and the airport of entry for Nassau. Customs and immigration are on site, and private aircraft are handled at the private aviation terminals, away from the airline halls, where your car can be waiting next to the jet.

In Detail
Private Jet Charter Miami to Nassau: Runways, Customs and Paradise Island
Velvet Air arranges every private jet charter from Miami to Nassau with licensed carriers. Every flight is flown for your group alone and arranged by one person from your first message until you land. Every island we fly to, by every aircraft, is on our Bahamas flights from Miami page.
Private Jet to Nassau from Miami: You Decide the Departure Time
Leave Miami on your hour and be on Paradise Island for lunch
Nassau is close enough that the clock barely matters, which is exactly why the departure hour should be yours. On a Miami to Nassau private jet you pick the time when you confirm, within the hours the crew is allowed to fly, and it can still shift if a meeting in Brickell runs over. Wheels up from Opa-locka at ten, and the jet is on the apron at Lynden Pindling before eleven; the drive to Paradise Island or Cable Beach takes care of the rest. Guests arriving at Miami International on an airline can connect straight to the jet the same afternoon. Because Nassau keeps the same time zone as Miami, the hours you plan at home are the hours you have on the island. Send us the time you want to leave and the time you want to be back, and the quote lays out both legs with the planned time in the air.
Miami to Nassau Private Jet: The Way Home
Leaving Nassau for Miami has rules of its own
Flying home from Nassau is the short direction on the map and the one with the most paperwork, and we take that part off your hands. Lynden Pindling International is itself an airport of entry, so the jet clears outbound with Bahamian customs and immigration at the terminal where it has been waiting for you, with no detour to another island. For the US side, the passenger manifest for the leg back is filed with US Customs and Border Protection through eAPIS at least an hour before departure, and we send it days ahead. On landing the group clears customs at Opa-locka Executive, Miami International or Miami Executive, whichever is closest to home, and the car you booked is parked by the aircraft. Book the return together with the Miami to Nassau trip or send the date later; either way the quote names the hour the jet leaves Nassau.
Private Jet Nassau from Miami: Celebrations and Long Weekends
A birthday, an anniversary or a few days in Nassau
Nassau suits the occasions that deserve more than a day: a birthday dinner on Paradise Island, an anniversary at one of the Cable Beach resorts, a weekend with friends between the Atlantis marina, the casino at Baha Mar and the long beach in front of it. For a private jet from Miami to Nassau we arrange what makes the trip: flowers, champagne or a gift at your seat, catering for the cabin, a chauffeur at the private terminal and, for the morning after, a yacht waiting for you for Rose Island or Blue Lagoon Island. Larger groups fit the heavy jet with twelve seats and room for golf clubs and dive gear, and pets travel in the cabin with you. Tell us the occasion and the dates when you write, and the quote shows the jet and every add-on together, so nothing is left to organise once you have landed in Nassau.
FAQ
Miami to Nassau Private Jet FAQ
How long does a private jet take from Miami to Nassau?
About 35 to 45 minutes in the air for the roughly 160 nautical miles, a little less in a faster jet and a little more against a headwind. The quote gives the planned time for your jet and your date.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet to Nassau?
From Miami, one way for the whole aircraft, a light jet starts from $8,000, a midsize jet from $11,000 and a heavy jet from $15,000. The final price depends on the aircraft, the date, positioning and availability.
Which airport do private jets use in Nassau?
Lynden Pindling International on New Providence, the airport of entry for Nassau and Paradise Island. Its runway of about 11,000 feet takes every jet class, and private aircraft are handled at the private aviation terminals. Runway and facilities are confirmed for each trip.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Nassau?
Several days or weeks ahead is best, especially in winter, over Christmas and New Year and in other peak holiday periods. Outside those dates a few days often work: tell us your date and we check which jets are free for your Miami to Nassau trip.
Do I need a passport to fly from Miami to the Bahamas?
Yes. Every passenger needs a valid passport with at least six months of validity, children included, and a driving licence will not do. Names and passport numbers are filed from our side before you leave Florida.
What is the customs and immigration process on arrival in Nassau?
Every passenger must meet Bahamian immigration and customs requirements, with valid travel documents and declarations. The jet lands at a designated airport of entry, Lynden Pindling International, where customs and immigration are on site. We confirm the procedure before your jet leaves Miami.
How many people fit on a private jet to Nassau?
Six on the light jet, eight on the midsize Citation Excel/XLS or the super midsize Citation Sovereign, and twelve on the heavy Challenger 650. Tell us the group and the luggage, and the quote names the class that fits.
Can we bring golf clubs and dive gear?
Yes. Golf clubs, dive gear and coolers all fit in the jet, and there is room for them. Tell us what you are bringing when you write, so the quote names a jet with the right hold for your group.
How do I get from the airport to my resort in Nassau?
Our chauffeur service meets you at the private terminal and drives you on to Paradise Island, Cable Beach or downtown. For Blue Lagoon Island, Rose Island or a day on the water, a yacht can be waiting for you, arranged with the jet.
Can we do Nassau as a day trip by private jet?
Yes. With 35 to 45 minutes each way, the jet can leave Miami in the morning and bring you back in the evening, and it waits for you in Nassau. Tell us if you would rather stay a night or a long weekend.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
If conditions are below what is safe, the crew moves or cancels the flight, and you hear early enough to change the departure. Nothing is lost: we move it to a new date agreed with you, and every booking carries one year of credit.
What is the difference between Velvet Air and the operator that flies me?
Velvet Air does not own or fly aircraft; the flight is operated by a licensed carrier. We compare carriers for your route and put forward the best fit, and one person stays with your request until you land.
