Question

What is the best way to fly to the Bahamas?

Answer

When flying into the Bahamas there are many airline choices. Popular flights are available out of Jacksonville, Orlando, Daytona, West Palm, and Fort Lauderdale. We recommend booking as soon as possible since planes are often smaller they fill up fast! Right now with the flights I have researched silver airways seems to be the cheapest it is roughly $200 round trip out of Ft. Lauderdale, American Airlines has flights out of Ft. Lauderdale round trip in the $400-$500 range and out of Jacksonville in the $500-$600 round trip range. Flying private is also an option these planes are 6 seats and they have weight restrictions but Air gate is a private company that does two 6 seater flights a day and it is $1,000 round trip or $500 one way. Keep in mind whatever flight you take you will have to clear customs.

Question

Where can I keep my boat?

Answer

The venue we have chosen is both a resort and a marina so you can leave and fill your boat up here! Be sure to ask them about our discounted boat slip rates. The marina has informed us too that you are able to clear customs at the Abaco Beach Resort and Marina so it is an all in one stop!

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

No! There are plenty of taxis throughout the island that are ready to take you where you need to go. We recommend all of them but especially Kathryn & Raymond Russel! There is a local place to rent cars or bikes called Rental Wheels Abaco to contact them email info@rentalwheels.com. Bikes are $35 daily $100 weekly!

Question

Food & Groceries

Answer

The resort we have chosen for our venue has two restaurants on the property! I uploaded some menus under the gallery tab. There are also some restaurants off the property within walking distance. In addition to this, some rooms are equipped with different appliances from microwaves to full kitchens. There are multiple grocery stores in Marsh Harbour keep in mind prices are more expensive due to import taxes, the grocery & liquor store within walking distance to the resort is right outside of the resort gates!

Question

Taxi Info

Answer

Getting a taxi on the island is not hard! The resort can arrange one for you upon request and usually there are a few waiting outside the airport but we recommend Kathryn & Russel Raymond. You can text or call Kathryn at 1-242-577-9920 or Raymond at 1-242-819-1530.
