A full pilot briefing will be given at the airport of departure by your Bahamas lead pilot. We select an FBO along the east coast, where your Bahamas lead pilot will answer any questions. Then your Bahamas lead pilot will walk you through all the paperwork required to enter The Islands of the Bahamas.
Upon arrival in The Bahamas, our tourism escort will assist you with Bahamas Customs clearance. On receipt of your registration fee, a complete itinerary will be sent to you.
