I went in my Glasair II a couple of months ago. Departed Ft. Pierce, they
will help with info and docs. I flew into N. Eleuthra and it took about 10
minutes to clear customs. Got a crusing permit and had a ball.

Great pilot deals as some hotels in the out islands will discount 20%. Went
to Staniel Cay and Pittstown point. At Pittstown Pt. you could see the plane
from the room (runway is close by) and the water was about 40 ft from the
room.


Get "The Bahamas and Caribbean pilots guide", it has everything you need to
know about flying and procedures. It can be found on the internet.

have fun

Wondered if anyone had some tips on flying a C172 (or similar) to the
Bahamas
from FXE (Ft. Laud. Exec.) ??

e.g. best guidebook, rafts needed?, easiest island to fly to, customs
procedures, etc.
