Grand Bahama (MYGF / FPO), Abacos and Biminis: Private Jet Catering Guide
Private jet catering in Grand Bahama (MYGF / FPO), the Abacos and the Biminis serves the northern Bahamas, the islands closest to Florida and some of the most beloved by sailors, anglers and second-home owners. Freeport and Lucaya offer resorts, marinas and the wide beaches of Lucayan National Park; the Abacos are a sailing paradise of sheltered water and Loyalist villages; and the Biminis, barely 50 miles from Miami, are a legend of big-game fishing. This guide explains how Global Diners plans catering across the three.
Global Diners prepares VVIP inflight catering in our own kitchens in Paris, Nice and Madrid and in our kitchens across more than 2,500 airports. In the northern Bahamas, our team serves Freeport (MYGF / FPO), Marsh Harbour (MYAM / MHH), Treasure Cay (MYAT / TCB) and Bimini (MYBS / BIM), with Nassau (MYNN / NAS) close by, and every delivery is coordinated with your FBO or handler.
Grand Bahama (MYGF / FPO): Freeport, Lucaya and West End
Grand Bahama International sits just north of Freeport, the island's planned city, a few minutes from the beaches and marina of Lucaya. Visitors come for diving on reefs and blue holes, bonefishing on the flats at both ends of the island, deep-sea fishing in the Gulf Stream and the quiet trails of Lucayan National Park. At the western tip, West End and its marina welcome yachts arriving from Florida, and many crews fly in to join a boat there or at Port Lucaya.
Catering from Freeport often combines passenger meals and crew provisions in a single order: sealed boxes, sandwiches and salads for a transfer to the marina, and a full meal for the flight home. Bahamian seafood platters with chilled conch salad, lobster in season and grouper fritters are popular, as are brunch boxes with johnnycake during the Junkanoo period.
The Abacos: Marsh Harbour (MYAM / MHH) and Treasure Cay (MYAT / TCB)
The Abaco Islands form a crescent of cays around the Sea of Abaco, one of the finest sailing grounds in the Caribbean region. Marsh Harbour is the main arrival point, with Cherokee Aviation and Abaco Flight Services welcoming private aircraft, while Treasure Cay serves the north of Great Abaco and its famous crescent beach. From here, water taxis reach Hope Town and its candy-striped lighthouse on Elbow Cay, the boatbuilding village of Man-O-War Cay, Great Guana Cay and the Loyalist settlement of New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay.
Sailing weeks: chilled boxes and provisions for guests boarding charter yachts at Marsh Harbour.
Regatta Time in Abaco: each summer, sharing platters and celebration menus for owners and their guests.
Fishing trips: hearty breakfasts, wraps, fresh fruit and cold drinks for early starts offshore.
Second homes: welcome hampers with cheese, pastries and fruit for the first evening in the cays.
In the northern Bahamas, the flight is often only the first part of the journey. The catering should be ready for the boat that follows.
The Biminis (MYBS / BIM): closest to Florida
South Bimini Airport welcomes business aviation flights to the Biminis, a pair of small islands on the edge of the Gulf Stream. Bimini is famous for big-game fishing, with marlin, tuna and wahoo running close to shore, and for bonefishing on the flats; its writers' and anglers' heritage is part of local legend. Divers explore reefs, wrecks and the mysterious underwater stones of the Bimini Road. Because the islands are so close to South Florida, many visitors come for a weekend, and catering focuses on easy, fresh food for short flights.
The northern islands also share a strong maritime heritage. Loyalist settlers arrived in the Abacos after the American Revolution and built the clapboard villages that still line the harbours of Hope Town and New Plymouth, while Man-O-War Cay keeps alive a long tradition of wooden boatbuilding. Freeport, by contrast, is a modern planned city founded in the 1950s, and Bimini has welcomed anglers, writers and adventurers for generations. Each island brings its own flavour to the menu.
Bimini bread, a soft and slightly sweet loaf, is the islands' gift to breakfast, and conch salad from the dockside stands is a local ritual. Our team can include both, along with fresh fish and tropical fruit, and coordinate delivery with the local handling at South Bimini.

When Grand Bahama Gets Busy: VIP Catering at Freeport (MYGF / FPO)
Grand Bahama's busiest catering periods follow North American holidays and the island's own festivals. Christmas, New Year and the Junkanoo parades bring family groups and second-home owners in large numbers, while spring break and Easter fill hotels and marinas. Summer adds weekend boating traffic, and from June to November flexible planning keeps every schedule calm. In these lively weeks, place your order earlier than the usual 24 hours, confirm final passenger numbers as soon as they are known, agree a delivery slot with your handler and favour cold, well-sealed dishes that hold up in tropical heat.

Junkanoo | December and January | Freeport, Grand Bahama |
Christmas and New Year holidays | Late December to early January | Freeport and Lucaya |
Spring break and Easter | March and April | Lucaya and Grand Bahama beaches |
Independence Day | July | Grand Bahama and across the Bahamas |

Junkanoo at Freeport (MYGF / FPO): December and January
Junkanoo is the Bahamas' great street parade, with costumed groups, cowbells, goatskin drums and brass moving through Freeport in the small hours of Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Visitors fly in to watch, and many stay into the new year. Pre-order your catering several days ahead, as the holiday is the island's most festive time. Brunch-style boxes with fruit, pastries and johnnycake suit early departures after a long night, and the team can confirm delivery times with your handler in advance.
Festival and holiday dates move each year, so check timings with our team when you place an order for Grand Bahama.
Things to do around Freeport (MYGF / FPO)
Lucayan National Park, east of Freeport, combines limestone caves, mangrove boardwalks and the wide, empty sweep of Gold Rock Beach. Closer to town, Taino Beach and the Lucaya strand offer calm water and water sports. Divers come for reefs, wrecks and blue holes, and the island is well known for shark and dolphin encounters with licensed operators. Bonefishing on the flats at the island's eastern and western ends draws anglers year-round, while deep-sea charters head into the Gulf Stream. The Garden of the Groves offers shaded walking trails, and kayak trips through the mangrove creeks show the island's quieter side. Golf, sailing and sunset cruises from Port Lucaya fill the rest of the day.
Culture and heritage near Freeport (MYGF / FPO)
Freeport is a planned city, founded in 1955 under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement as a free-trade zone, which explains its broad avenues and industrial port. Long before that, the Lucayan Taino lived on the island, and their burial cave in Lucayan National Park is a protected site. Junkanoo, with its handmade costumes and rhythms, is the strongest expression of Bahamian culture here. The Rand Nature Centre, run by the Bahamas National Trust, introduces the island's native plants and birds.
Also nearby: Marsh Harbour (MYAM / MHH)
The international airport at Marsh Harbour is the main arrival point for the Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas, a cruising ground of sheltered water and barrier cays. Private flyers come to join yachts and charter boats, reach second homes and private clubs on the outer cays, and enjoy deep-sea and bonefishing. Hope Town on Elbow Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Great Guana Cay and Green Turtle Cay are reached by water taxi or private boat. Flights arrive mainly from Florida, with traffic strongest from spring into summer.
The Sea of Abaco, a sheltered stretch of water between Great Abaco and its outer cays, is one of the Caribbean's favourite sailing grounds. Ferries and rental boats link Marsh Harbour to Hope Town on Elbow Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Great Guana Cay and Green Turtle Cay. Snorkellers head to Fowl Cay and Sandy Cay reefs, while bonefishing on the flats and offshore fishing draw anglers. Treasure Cay Beach, north of Marsh Harbour, is a long crescent of soft sand, and the Abaco National Park in the south protects pine forest and the Abaco parrot.
