Where you leave on your Fort Lauderdale Bahamas day trip
Our one day cruise from Fort Lauderdale (Miami to Bahamas Day Trip) takes off from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport at Hangar 11. We suggest being there a half-hour to one full hour ahead of departure in order to check-in with the airline. Usually that means arriving before 7am but check with your trip handler upon booking.

Expect to be back by 6pm with Bahamas Air Tours.
Other services, because of the delays and travel time will have you back to the United States well past 9pm so you will have to resort to less-than-satisfactory ferry cafeteria food for dinner.
