Getting there: Suggested route: Fly into Fort Lauderdale (FLL) early AM Saturday, take a taxi to Ft Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), we have discounted tickets available for purchase to fly via Makers Air, These flights normally sell for around $875.00 RT. Discounted price is $700.00 RT. This a very nice 9 seater charter plane. The beauty of flying this option is a very streamlined and simplified Customs and paperwork, plus they provide a golf cart to take you to the Yacht Club where the boat is moored.
You may find slightly cheaper options via flights direct to Nassau, then catch another flight from Nassau to Staniel Cay. I wasn't able to find anything that worked out per our timeline but your welcome to check.
