^ 6 Seater for Bahamas trips

[FlKIngAirPilot]

Pilots,
I'm in search of a 6 seater rental that can do weekend hops to the Bahamas.
Due to poor long term planning, I had too many kids & won't fit in a 172. An Aztec, Seneca or Cherokee 6 would be ideal.

Any flying club or private owner in SE Florida....please reach out to me.

Thanks, Tommy

Where did you fly tankers?

Borrow the corporate King Air!

From SE Florida, the Bahamas are only a very short hop. Save money by buying a 4-seater and making two trips.

Or a Cessna 206. It's just a bigger 172 . . .

I make this flight to my place every 3 weeks. First plane I owned was a Cherokee 6. It hauled everything that I asked it to but did so at 135kts. After one trip that took just shy of 3 hours and another one that had me fly about 100 miles out of my way to avoid storms, I sold it and bought a C310Q. Now after 2 years in the 310Q, I am selling it to move on to pressurization and AC.

Prior to all of that, I rented a C206.

Having said that, a C206 is going to be the most common in the rental fleet and much faster than the Cherokee 6.
