Clear turquoise waters as far as you can see, world-class fishing, diving, lively marketplaces, and a rich culture with extraordinary hospitality are all part of the charm of the Bahamas that keeps Mercury Jets’ on-demand private jet charter clients coming back to this island paradise. Nassau, Freeport and Bimini are among the favorite tropical island destinations for leisure travelers.

Nassau

Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas. Nassau is located on New Providence Island. More than 300 years have passed since this island was a haven for pirates. In the early 1700s, New Providence became a favorite hiding spot of pirates who stole gold and silver from Spanish ships returning to Spain. Pirate activity subsided a few years later when the British government established a formal colony and military headquarters on Nassau, on the New Providence harbor. Today, New Providence is a favorite destination for leisure travelers.

Freeport

Freeport is located on Grand Bahama Island, the archipelago’s northernmost island. Grand Bahama is a favorite destination for leisure travelers and is well-known for its white-sand beaches and access to water sports, including snorkeling and deep sea fishing.

Bimini

The Biminis are located where Florida’s Gulf Stream meets the Bahama Banks. The islands are home to some of the finest fishing in the Bahamas. Bimini is made up of three major islands — North, South and East Bimini. The South islands are small with an overall length of four miles and one mile wide. The islands were a favorite place of famed author Ernest Hemingway who lived on Bimini from 1935 to 1937. Today Bimini is rich with history, natural resources and an ideal tropical vacation spot of leisure travelers.
