Haute Jets handles all Bahamian APIS submission and customs documentation for every departure — you simply provide passport information and Haute Jets manages the rest.

NAS handles all jet sizes including heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft arriving from New York, Chicago, and Europe.

Exuma International (GGT) serves Great Exuma and the Exuma Cays — approximately 55 to 60 minutes from Miami.

Yes — the Bahamas is an international destination, and all passengers and crew must complete APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) filing and Bahamian customs documentation for every arrival. This is standard for all Bahamas private jet charters. Haute Jets manages the entire process: you provide passport information, and Haute Jets submits APIS, coordinates with Bahamian customs authorities at Nassau, Exuma, Eleuthera, or your specific destination, and arranges ground handling at the FBO. For same-day Bahamas departures from Miami or Palm Beach, Haute Jets can typically complete APIS filing with as little as 2 to 4 hours notice. For international arrivals from New York or further afield, 24 hours notice is standard.
Yes. New York to Nassau is approximately 3 hours on a midsize jet from Teterboro (TEB) — a morning departure from New York can have you on the beach in Nassau by early afternoon. Haute Jets handles APIS and Bahamian customs documentation as part of the booking process, typically requiring passport information 24 hours before departure for international flights, though shorter notice is often manageable.
