Flights & Travel Information
Private Pilot Information
General Flight and Travel Information
- There are two airports on Long Island , Stella Maris (about 25mins away) and Deadmans Cay (about 40mins away). For more info see Airports below.
- There are daily flights from Nassau to Long Island (about a 45min flight) . Services are offered by Bahamas Air, as well as several other locally owned operators running scheduled charter services. See “getting there” below for more details on this and other flight options.
- We also suggest/recommend flying direct from Miami to Georgetown, Exuma (Bahamas) , then private charter to Long Island (about a 15min flight over the scenic Bahama Banks). It is convenient, reasonably priced and…well…chartering your own plane is certainly a “cool way” to fly!
- Private (air) charters are also available.

Long Island has two airports. Stella Maris (SML) & Deadmans Cay (LGI). Slipstream is situated about 25mins away from Stella Maris, and about 40mins from Deadmans Cay. We can arrange to pick you up at either airport. Deadmans Cay is the more frequently serviced airport of the two.
We are quite familiar with the area, and its options so please feel free to contact us for your local travel advice.
Stateside Charters
Direct charter services are offered out of Ft. Lauderdale and other Southern Florida destinations, but these are often found to be quite pricey. This is due to the overall distance, and the fact that on one leg of the journey the plane seats are sitting empty, which... well, like it our not, you are paying for. Now it is all dependant on the size/model of the plane, and the passenger seats utilized, but you are probably looking at the neighborhood of minimum $400 to $500 per person each way for this trip, but this is just a basic estimate outline, each case will vary, and deals can be had. Travel times will also vary dependant on the size and model of plane, but will probably take 2+hours... then of course we recently had guests arrive by small jet and arrive in just over one hour!
