DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA:
MAKERS AIR flies direct from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport to Stella Maris on certain days. You can purchase individual seats or charter the entire plane. —www.makersair.com—
A private charter in a 9-passsenger typically costs $10k - $14k. This price includes both the outgoing and return trips. If you have a large group this can be an economical and convenient way to travel. Skip the major airports and long lines of customs/immigration!
COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TO STELLA MARIS VIA NASSAU (NAS):
This is the most common route taken to Long Island. Nassau International Airport is the major air hub for the Bahamas with many direct flights from the USA, Canada & London. Major carriers include Jet Blue, American Airlines, Delta, United, Air Canada, British Airways, West Jet and Bahamasair. Upon arrival in Nassau, you will need to clear customs/immigration and then take a short flight to Long Island. Stella Maris Resort Air Service can pick you up in Nassau and fly you directly to Stella Maris in one of their resort aircraft. This flight is extraordinarily beautiful and lasts about one hour. Rock Hill is less than a mile from the runway.
Stella Maris Resort Air Service is the preferred way to reach Stella Maris. However, Southern Air Charter, Island Wings Charter & Bahamasair also offer daily flights to Stella Maris and Deadman's Cay Airport. Please note that Stella Maris Airport is much more convenient.

—“Sun, Shells, Lobster & Luxury! Our family had the most wonderful time staying at Rock Hill. The location is very convenient for exploring the northern end of the island, which affords access to some pristine Caribbean and Atlantic beaches. In particular, we enjoyed discovering some of the more isolated beaches near Columbus Monument. Rock Hill is a short walk from Stella Maris Resort and they were very welcoming.”— Elizabeth S.
-“Gorgeous House and Views on Long Island! Our week at Rock Hill exceeded all of our expectations. As a family of 3 from New York City (11 year old son) we have been renting vacation homes in the Bahamas for the past fifteen years. We had become a bit complacent and tended to visit the same island year after year and felt like we needed to expand our horizons and experience more of what the Bahamas has to offer. We had truly an amazing time and we are already planning our return!”— Meredith K.
