Tropic Ocean Airways — Local services in Dania Beach

Tropic Ocean Airways came through for us when another airline let us down. They made our trip from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini smooth at a time of stress and kept us well informed about what was going on during some bad weather that caused delays. It felt very much like a concierge service. The staff was great at the FBO, the aircraft was newer and the trip over in a seaplane is like no other trip I’ve been on. We were tied up in the Bahamas next to the Bahamian customs and immigration office where it felt like they were there just for the five of us that flew over. Within five minutes of getting off the plane, we were free to explore the island and check into our hotel. I also loved how the two pilots from TOA had a great relationship with the local customs and immigration personnel. It’s a trip that I won’t forget. Thank you for helping us and not taking advantage of our situation. We will be back! Much...

This is the best way to get from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini, aside from my own yacht (which only exists in my dreams).

Drawbacks: (1) the airline was not particularly friendly when covid restrictions caused me to cancel a flight…I eventually lost an entire ticket with no credit; (2) if you have a fear of flying, the smaller planes can be a little intimidating (although I don’t have that fear, so I enjoy “feeling” the flight); (3) if you pack heavy, you’ll need to rethink that or pay extra (if they have can accept extra weight). But overall, this is...

Tropic Ocean Airways is my 2nd best flying service choice, to and from Bimini. Five Stars describes a great staff. From greeters to flight crew, the best. I can critique the flight crew, and why I give them the 5 stars. That explanation to follow my opinion of the BEST flying service to the Bahamas. The #1 was me. My flying to and from the Bahamas was from 1985 to 2015. Logging more than 4,500 hours visiting almost ever airport they have. Loved the flying and still love the country. I'm retired. I recommend Tropic Ocean Airways...
