Private Charter Between Nassau and Harbour Island.
About 20 minutes in the Lear 60 between Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) and North Eleuthera (MYEM), then a 10-minute water taxi from Three Island Dock to Harbour Island. Harbour Island itself has no airfield — North Eleuthera is the gateway. We coordinate the water taxi as part of the trip. Domestic flight, no customs step.
Why this route
Harbour Island is one of the most-photographed luxury destinations in the Bahamas — the pink-sand beach, Pink Sands resort, Coral Sands, the Cove, the Dunmore, the villa-rental network across Bay Street and the harbour. The island itself doesn't have an airfield, so the access pattern is always North Eleuthera by air, then water taxi.
The Lear 60 handles MYEM (4,500-foot runway, recently extended) comfortably with the modest weight loads typical for this route. From wheels-up at MYNN to feet on Harbour Island sand is about 50 minutes total including the water taxi — the most efficient access route to the island.
Airport & water transfer
North Eleuthera (MYEM) is the standard arrival. The FBO is small but adequate; as domestic Bahamian travel, there's no customs or immigration step. From the FBO, a 5-minute drive takes you to Three Island Dock where the water taxi to Harbour Island departs. The crossing is 10 minutes; the taxi runs on demand.
We coordinate the water taxi booking as part of the trip — confirmed for the aircraft's actual arrival time, not a guess. The resorts on Harbour Island (Pink Sands, Coral Sands, Rock House, the Dunmore) handle on-island ground transport from the Harbour Island dock to the property.
On the Nassau end, all flights operate out of MYNN. Total door-to-door from MYNN gate to Harbour Island property is typically 70-90 minutes including the water taxi. Compare to the commercial alternative (Bahamasair to North Eleuthera, often a half-day proposition with limited daily flights), and the private aviation choice on this route is decisive.
