Explore Abacos with a charter

There are bounties on this planet in plenty and one life seems so short a span to explore them all. The time is further limited with hours and days wasted with airlines and their hectic processes. Crossing the Gulfstream to The Abacos by boat is a two-day adventure, which includes countless "Kodak Moments", while crossing by air is a kaleidoscopic delight lasting less than 70 minutes. Depending on which airline you choose, your departure point and your flight-day weather, you'll look down on ever-changing panoramas of colorful sea- and reef-scapes, remote settlements, miles of empty beaches, coral formations just a few feet below the aquamarine water and miles of pine forests.

But all this scenic delight looses its colour when you have go through the regular hassles of the scheduled airlines. Our advice. Go for a charter jet and bask in the phenomenal glory of the Mother Nature with only a selected few of your ilk. The area and islands you'll pass over are primarily Grand Bahama Island (if you're flying from West Palm or Ft. Lauderdale), the Bimini islands, a hint of Andros' bulk (with a flight from Miami) and The Abacos' west side "Marls", you’ll come across 100's if not 1,000's of mangrove outcroppings, zillions of "islands-lets" and lots of very thin water. Whatever your flight's route, the aqua-terrain below is certain to change from "amazing" to "incredible" to "quick, where's the camera".

Go - Abacos strongly suggests you try to book your flight directly into one of Abacos' airports and avoid a transfer in Nassau (or Freeport). By flying direct, you'll get here faster, have a much better chance of arriving with all your luggage and, in general, have a far better, much less stressful trip. Great Abacos’ Treasure Cay and Marsh Harbour International Airports are only a bit more than an hour's flight from South Florida and several reliable charter operators serve the islands twin points of arrival:
Since scheduled air service to the Abacos appears to be in an almost constant state of re-scheduling, even if you've traveled many times to the Abacos, we strongly suggest you to opt for a charter this time around and see what quality it brings to your trip. If you're traveling with 4 or more adults, the per person cost of a charter flight can become surprisingly competitive (in many cases, less than $225 per person, round trip) with the charges of a scheduled commercial carrier. And this goes without saying that Charter proves to be more convenient than a commercial flight.
