Air Cargo Charter Flights to the Bahamas from Florida ~ Since 1987

Need cargo moved quickly between the United States and the Bahamas? We provide on-demand air cargo charter flights from Fort Lauderdale to every island in the Bahamas, specializing in short-notice, time-critical, and non-standard logistics.

Cargo Missions We Fly

If it needs to move between the U.S. and the Bahamas on your schedule, we can usually make it happen. Start with the scenario that matches your request, then request a quote for routing, timing, and logistics support.

How Bahamas Air Cargo Charter Works

Air cargo charter is built for deadlines. The fastest way to lock routing and pricing is to share cargo details up front. We coordinate timing, island airport access, and practical logistics so your shipment arrives when it’s actually needed.

1) Share the cargo details

Tell us what it is, approximate weight, dimensions, number of pieces, and any special handling (perishable, fragile, regulated).

2) Confirm origin, destination, and timing

We plan the route from Fort Lauderdale or another Southeast U.S. airport to your island airport based on timing, runway capability, and operational needs.

3) Coordinate positioning and paperwork

We coordinate with you and your forwarder so cargo is staged correctly. Customs clearance is handled by licensed brokers / forwarders, and we align manifests, notifications, and routing so the shipment is ready to move.

4) Fly direct with fewer handoffs

Charter reduces transfers and protects timing. Many missions are short-notice and time-critical when sea freight isn’t workable.

5) Confirm arrival window and next steps

We align arrival timing with marinas, crews, resort operations, homeowners, or delivery windows so the cargo is useful the moment it lands.

Bahamas Charter Flights provides on-demand air cargo charter service from Fort Lauderdale and the Southeast United States to every island in The Bahamas. If your shipment is tied to a deadline, weather window, project schedule, cruise itinerary, marina operations, or a medical need, air charter reduces handoffs and protects timing. Our day-to-day work includes freight charter logistics, Bahamas island resupply, urgent parts delivery, construction material transport, perishable handling, and time-critical routing for out islands with limited scheduled service.

We support yacht and marina operations with urgent propellers and critical parts, home builders and homeowners with appliances and fixtures, and resorts and private islands with daily provisioning. We coordinate with your licensed brokers / freight forwarders for customs clearance and help align cargo manifests, notifications, and timing so shipments are positioned correctly for departure and arrival.

Yacht Support & Repair Flights to The Bahamas

When a yacht, sportfishing boat, or charter vessel has a failure in the islands, speed matters. We support on-demand flights carrying propellers, marine parts, tools, repair equipment, technicians, and urgent supplies directly to marinas and out islands to minimize downtime. This service is commonly used for emergency yacht repair flights, marina-critical deliveries, and time-sensitive parts movements when waiting on sea freight is not an option.

Film, TV & Photo Production Cargo (CBP Form 4457 Support)

We routinely transport professional camera gear, lighting, cases, and crews for commercial shoots, branded content, tournaments, and destination productions. If you need help with temporary export logistics for professional equipment, we can assist with documentation support, including CBP Form 4457 when applicable, so gear can return to the United States with fewer issues. This is especially useful for production teams operating across multiple islands or working on short timelines.

Construction, Appliances, Fixtures & HVAC Cargo Flights

Builders and homeowners rely on air charter when a delay stops progress. We can move roofing supplies, appliances, windows, tools, A/C units, lighting fixtures, and specialty building materials to active projects across the Bahamas, including out islands with limited service. Whether you are remodeling, building a new home, or maintaining a property on a private island, charter logistics can keep crews working and reduce downtime.

Architects, Designers & Site Supervisor Flights

Same-day site visits and efficient routing can save weeks of downtime. We support architects, designers, engineers, builders, and construction supervisors traveling between islands for inspections, planning, and project coordination, often combined with tools or mission-critical cargo when needed. This is a common solution for out-island construction oversight, punch-list visits, and multi-island project schedules.

Resorts, Cruise Ships, Marinas & Private Island Aviation Support

Resorts, cruise lines, and private islands rely on consistent logistics. We provide daily operational support across the Bahamas, including passenger and crew transfers, perishables, medical supplies, maintenance parts, ship spares, and time-critical cargo. We also support marina and yacht operations with urgent provisioning, replacement parts, technicians, and logistics cargo routed to island airports serving marinas and harbors throughout the Out Islands.

Medical & Emergency Flights (Bahamas ↔ U.S.)

We provide air charter support for medical emergencies, urgent medical equipment transport, and patient-related logistics between the Bahamas and the United States. These flights are handled discreetly and with urgency based on timing, routing, and operational considerations, including coordination for time-critical cargo that supports medical care and patient movement needs.

Hurricane & Disaster Relief Air Cargo Charters

After storms and natural disasters, we support relief and recovery logistics, including medical supplies, generators, emergency equipment, food, water, and personnel movement. We also assist with post-storm inspections, recovery coordination, and time-critical island access when conditions allow. This is commonly used for urgent Bahamas hurricane relief flights and rapid response cargo movements to out islands.

Insurance Adjusters, Survey Teams & Rapid Inspection Routing

We frequently fly insurance adjusters, surveyors, and inspection teams on same-day, multi-island routes for post-storm damage assessments, property inspections, and marine loss surveys. Charter routing reduces delays and keeps assessment schedules intact, especially when access to multiple out islands is required in a limited time window.

Approved Hazmat & Regulated Cargo (Case-by-Case)

Approved regulated cargo such as batteries and certain specialized materials can be handled on a case-by-case basis, with documentation and compliance coordination. Share your cargo details and timing, and we will advise on practical routing and requirements. Many regulated cargo requests are time-sensitive and benefit from direct charter control and reduced handling.

Weddings, Special Events & Destination Logistics

Destination weekends depend on timing. We help move flowers, wardrobe, décor, photography gear, event equipment, and other critical items so nothing is delayed or left behind. Charter logistics can reduce missed connections and minimize risk when event schedules are fixed and island delivery windows are limited.

Perishables, Food & Resort Resupply (U.S. → Bahamas)

We regularly support perishable food and specialty supply flights from the United States to the Bahamas for yacht provisioning, resort resupply, events, tournaments, and short-notice needs. Perishables benefit from speed and controlled handling, especially when the delivery is tied to guest arrivals, marina schedules, or resort operations.

Bahamas Seafood Export Flights (Bahamas → U.S.)

We operate seafood export flights from the Bahamas to the United States, supporting fishermen, exporters, and distributors moving high-value catch quickly to market. Common exports include lobster, stone crab claws, and fresh seafood products planned around freshness, handling requirements, and arrival timing.

High-Value & Time-Sensitive Cargo Charters

Air charter is often preferred for high-value, sensitive, or time-critical cargo where security, speed, and control matter. We regularly move electronics, specialty equipment, and critical business cargo that cannot risk delays, missed departures, or multiple handoffs.

Potcake Dog Rescue Flights

We support potcake dog rescue flights in coordination with rescue organizations to safely transport animals from the Bahamas to the United States. These missions are planned carefully to support humane handling, coordinated paperwork, and reliable routing.

Documentation & Constraints (What We Need to Quote Fast)

The fastest quotes happen when cargo is described clearly. If you call or submit the form, include the details below so we can confirm aircraft fit, routing, timing, and any special handling requirements.

Cargo details

What it is, approximate weight, dimensions, number of pieces, and whether it’s oversized, fragile, temperature-sensitive, or high value.

Route + timing

Origin airport (often Fort Lauderdale), destination island airport, ready time, deadline, and any marina, resort, or crew schedule it must align with.

Manifests + notifications

We can handle cargo manifests, notifications, and operational paperwork coordination. Customs clearance is handled by licensed brokers / forwarders.

Regulated cargo

Approved regulated cargo such as batteries and specialized materials are evaluated case-by-case. Share specifics early so compliance needs are clear.

Licensed & bonded freight capability

If you need to state this clearly: we are licensed and bonded to carry freight to the Bahamas and bring freight into the U.S., and we can coordinate the paperwork flow so shipments move with fewer delays.

Why Bahamas Charter Flights for Air Cargo

When your shipment is urgent, non-standard, or tied to a deadline, air charter reduces handoffs and protects your schedule. We coordinate routing, timing, and air logistics and work closely with Bahamian freight forwarders for smoother documentation and delivery. If you are shipping construction materials to an out island, moving marina-critical parts for a yacht, supplying a resort, supporting homeowners with ongoing resupply, or exporting seafood to the U.S., charter logistics gives you speed, control, and fewer delays.
