Experience the untouched wilderness and legendary bonefishing of the Bahamas' largest island with a seamless private jet departure from Miami.
Andros Island offers an authentic Bahamian escape just 150 miles from Miami, where vast pine forests meet pristine flats and traditional settlements preserve island culture unchanged for generations.
Your private jet eliminates the complexity of commercial connections through Nassau, delivering you directly to this unspoiled destination in about 45 minutes.
The island's remote fishing lodges, protected national parks, and local communities create an experience far removed from typical Caribbean tourism, where guides still navigate by landmark and tide rather than schedule.

Andros Island's appeal lies in its isolation, but that same remoteness creates logistical complexity that commercial aviation cannot solve effectively. Direct charter flights bypass the Nassau layover that typically costs visitors precious morning fishing hours, while our coordination with island operators ensures that fuel availability and lodge transfers align with your arrival. The island's daylight-only airstrip restrictions and limited services require advance planning that we manage completely, allowing you to focus on the exceptional fishing and wilderness that make Andros worth the effort to reach.
All price estimates are for a round-trip, Friday through Sunday itinerary. Actual quotes vary depending on factors like season, available aircraft and more. Your quoted price may be more or less than the estimates on this page.

Private flights leave from Miami’s general‑aviation terminals with U.S. Customs scheduled in advance. On Andros, Andros Town and San Andros routinely handle private arrivals; Congo Town does as well, and Mangrove Cay operates on request. Because fuel and staffing windows differ by field, we confirm them when we plan, then map the straightforward road transfer to your lodge.

Big island, small crowds, and water in every direction.
Base near Andros Town for easy days. Love Hill Beach runs long and quiet, and the tidal creeks around Stafford Creek are perfect for a slow paddle on settled mornings. Drive north for Nicholls Town’s broad strand and laid‑back cafés. Evenings lean toward simple seafood spots along the waterfront.
Andros is large and lightly settled. The main road follows the east coast, so drives take longer than they look on a map. Book a rental car or a local driver in advance, since ride‑hailing is limited. Shops keep daytime hours, many close early on Sundays, and cash helps with small purchases.
For the very short flight to Andros, the Citation CJ3+ offers exceptional speed and efficiency, turning the journey into a quick hop. This modern light jet provides a refined, comfortable cabin for up to 7 passengers, and its generous baggage compartment is ideal for packing fishing equipment for your island adventure.
Dry months run roughly December through April, with breezy, clear days. Spring into early summer brings good visibility and popular fishing weeks. Late summer into early autumn carries higher tropical risk. Early June’s Crab Fest livens Fresh Creek and tightens lodging. Dusk near mangroves brings biting insects, so pack repellent.
What makes Andros feel different
At the island’s north end, a limestone bluff and small cave tied to Henry Morgan lore overlook deep water and a working harbor; the views are sweeping.
In Andros Town, artisans hand‑print bright fabrics with wax‑resist techniques. Short visits watch patterns take shape, then end in a compact shop with useful, island‑made pieces.
A vast mangrove and tidal‑flat wilderness along the west coast. Guides pole skiffs for bonefish while turtles surface in channels and horizons run open for miles.
North of Andros, shifting sandbars and bright shallows stretch toward the horizon. Birders scan for shorebirds; wading anglers and photographers favor calm mornings for long, quiet walks.
Andros is large and split by the North, Middle, and South Bights. The main road runs the east side of North and Central Andros, but there is no continuous road to South Andros. Travel between non‑adjacent districts typically goes via Nassau. A small passenger ferry links Mangrove Cay and South Andros twice daily. Plan extra time for longer drives.
Yes. The Bahamas requires a flats fishing license for non‑residents, whether you fish with a guide or on your own. Licenses are issued by the Department of Marine Resources with daily, weekly, monthly, and annual options, and applications are available online or through island administrators. Keep proof of license with you on the flats.
You can, but you must register and obtain a permit with the Civil Aviation Authority of The Bahamas before flying. Follow local rules: stay below 400 feet, keep clear of people and buildings, and avoid flying near airports. Apply in advance and carry your approval when you travel with the drone.
Bahamas Ferries operates scheduled passenger services between Nassau and Andros (Fresh Creek). Service levels vary by season and weather, and routes are not daily. If any of your group plans to use the ferry, check the current timetable and build generous buffers around arrivals and departures. Flight connections remain the most reliable option.
Major cards are accepted at some hotels and restaurants, but smaller Out Island businesses often prefer cash, and ATMs can be limited. Carry U.S. dollars for everyday purchases and tips. Mobile service is provided by BTC and Aliv; coverage is best in towns and can slow in remote areas. Consider a local SIM or eSIM for data.
