They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Nassau
Flying out of Nassau
Nassau is under an hour from South Florida and is the busiest private aviation gateway in the Bahamas. The flying is trivially short; the paperwork is the part that needs handling properly.
- Under an hour from South Florida — a light jet is more than enough
- The gateway to the Out Islands, most of which are short hops on
- Customs, immigration and inbound declarations need arranging in advance
Worth knowing before you plan
International arrival requires customs and immigration processing and, for Bahamas arrivals, an inbound declaration filed ahead of time. It is routine and it is not automatic — we handle it, and a broker who does not mention it is one to ask harder questions of.
Arriving Long Island
Republic Airport
Republic at Farmingdale is the main general aviation field for Nassau and western Suffolk. If your destination is Long Island, using Teterboro means adding a drive through the city, which is a poor trade at almost any hour of any day.
- Avoids crossing Manhattan entirely — frequently the whole time saving
- Central to Nassau and western Suffolk
- The practical stepping stone toward the East End in summer

Change the party size or the date
The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.

Questions
Common questions
How long is the flight from Nassau to Long Island by private jet?
Approximately 2h 41m – 3h 05m in a light jet, over about 964 nautical miles direct. That is an estimated range including taxi time — winds and routing move it either way, and westbound legs typically run longer than eastbound.
Which aircraft is best for Nassau to Long Island?
For six passengers, a light jet — Cessna Citation CJ3+ or a Embraer Phenom 300E — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A mid gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 2h 35m – 2h 58m.
Which airports serve Nassau and Long Island?
We typically use Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) for Nassau and Republic Airport (FRG) for Long Island. Alternatives are available at both ends and are sometimes the better answer depending on where you are actually going.
How much does a private jet from Nassau to Long Island cost?
We do not publish charter prices, because a price without live operator availability behind it is a guess rather than a quote. Tell us the date and party size and you will have a real number, usually the same day.
