Airfares are constantly changing so it pays to carefully consider your options when flying to Nassau. Start your search for up-to-date fares with SideStep which covers the most airlines and includes Spirit Air. Also, check Expedia and Travelocity and other airlines that don’t appear on these search engines such as Allegiant Air.
Spirit Air nows flies to Nassau, while Allegiant Air has cheap flights to south Florida where you can catch a flight to Nassau. Compare flying directly from your hometown to Nassau with caravanning to an airport such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Myrtle Beach or Orlando that may have competitive air fares to Nassau.
Most major airlines have a group desk. Call and explain the type of trip and request a group price. Remember this is a negotiation, don’t accept their first offer, but be ready with a counteroffer. Be reasonable and polite.

Ground Transportation
After your group has cleared customs and immigration, you will need a taxi ride to Nassau Yacht Haven. Most of the group should stay inside the terminal with the baggage, while two people go find the taxi. There is always a taxi line outside the terminal. Again, be prepared to negotiate. The government rate is $30 for the first two people and $4/person thereafter plus $1/bag.
Look down the taxi line in search of a large van. Ask the price and get a firm commitment before loading the van. If you find a van that will carry the whole group of 12, expect to pay $85-$90. If you must split the group, be sure that everyone in the group AND the drivers know that YOU and only YOU are paying for the ride.
You are going to Nassau Yacht Haven on East Bay Street, just east of the Paradise Island bridges. Yacht Haven shares a parking lot with Bahama Divers and the Poop Deck, a popular restaurant. DO NOT let the drivers drop you at Nassau Yacht Club--it is not the same place.
