The most popular airlines used by Scouts travelling here are Continental,
American Airlines and Bahamasair.
There are several reliable smaller airlines that Scouts also use. You
may also wish to consider Yellow Air Taxi, Bimini Island Air, Twin Air,
and Calypso Air. Prices vary considerably so search for the best fares
and ask for a discount, this may be possible if you are travelling in
a large group.
Your short flight from Florida will only take about 45 minutes. Getting
through Customs and Immigration should not take long, remember to bring
your passport!

When making
your travel arrangements you should try to schedule your arrival and
departure from Marsh Harbour around mid-day. This will prevent you
from arriving too early and having to wait until your sailboat is
ready and allow you sufficient time to clean your sailboat at the
end of your trip. Please note that you will be able to board your
sailboat from 10:00hrs onwards on the date your trip begins - you
are expected to disembark by 10:00hrs on the last day of your trip
-
Once you arrive
at Marsh Harbour International Airport you will take a Minicab Taxi,
costing around $20, to the marina where your sailboat will be waiting.
Our staff will have arranged to meet you at the marina when you arrive.
(You will receive more detailed arrival information by email a few
weeks before your trip.)
-
Ensure you have
adequate travel insurance and when you make your travel reservations,
please take into account how busy the airlines are during the peak
holiday seasons.
-
Label all your
bags clearly, ideally with large, similar labels to avoid losing baggage.
-
Hotel rooms
are limited so book early. There is a much greater choice of accommodations
in Florida and hotel rooms there will likely appeal to a limited budget.
We would be
pleased to help you if you need any additional advice or information.
