Tour Bahamas Real Estate for Sale by Private Plane

Visit multiple islands in one day to maximize your luxury real estate buying experience — compare waterfront communities, marinas, and neighborhoods efficiently, with optional aerial orientation views (weather/ops permitting).

  • Direct flights from Florida
  • Visit multiple islands in one day
  • Aerial orientation views (ops permitting)

  • Flying safely since 1987

Signature benefit: We can often structure flights around showings so you can tour multiple properties across multiple islands in a single day — a major advantage over commercial airlines and many operators.

Fall in Love with The Bahamas — Then Make It Yours

The warm people, clear water, and stunning scenery in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas make it an easy place to love. For many travelers, the “one great trip” becomes a long-term plan: a vacation home, a waterfront condo, or a property to build on.

Buying real estate in The Bahamas is often more approachable than people expect — especially with the right local professionals. When you’re ready to trade business shoes for flip-flops, we’ll help you start with the right introductions.

We are not a real estate brokerage or attorney. We can connect you with experienced island professionals and help you travel efficiently to view properties.

Top Caribbean Islands to Invest in Real Estate: The Bahamas

Buyers from the U.S., Canada, and Europe have long been drawn to The Bahamas for second homes and lifestyle investments. You’ll find established expat communities across multiple islands, along with active local networks that help newcomers adapt and settle in.

Step 1: Define your island lifestyle
  • Walkable town vs. secluded beach
  • Marina access vs. beachfront
  • Family-friendly vs. quiet retreat
Step 2: Get local experts on your side
  • Real estate professional on-island
  • Bahamas attorney (recommended)
  • Banking/transfer guidance
Step 3: Visit efficiently
  • See more properties in one trip
  • Compare neighborhoods & beaches
  • Reduce travel friction with private flights

Why Fly Private for Property Tours?

Real estate decisions come down to feel: the beach, the neighborhood, the marina, the drive time, the vibe. Private charter flights let you tour more locations faster — and reach islands that can be time-consuming with commercial schedules.

  • Day-trip capability: fly out, tour, fly back — or island-hop.
  • Flexible schedule: align flights with showings and inspections.
  • Outer-island reach: don’t limit your search to only major hubs.

Popular Island Styles Buyers Ask About

Every island has a different personality. When you tell us what you’re looking for — quiet, social, boating, fishing, resorts, or remote — we’ll point you toward local pros who specialize in that island.

  • Harbour Island / North Eleuthera: iconic beaches & boutique vibe
  • Governor’s Harbour: classic Eleuthera charm & central access
  • Exumas: water color that doesn’t look real
  • Abacos: boating & family-friendly communities
  • Grand Bahama: quick access from Florida
Want a “scouting trip”? We can help plan an efficient flight plan to see multiple areas over a few days — or compress comparisons into a single day.
