The FBO where I rent in South Florida has a lot of pilots who fly to the
Bahamas. So many they have a 'Bahamas' ground school course. You may want to
just fly into West Palm Beach, hang out a few days, then fly yourself to the
Islands.

In my experience, the Bahamas is very expensive (fuel, food, rentals, etc).
It may be worth your while contacting Premier Aviation in Florida and
exploring the idea of flying yourself, or having a CFI fly over with you.
It's a very short, pleasant hop over the ocean.

I rent from Premier frequently and the equipment is always in great shape!
The owner's name is Michael, and the office has a real 'down south' flavor,
even though half the crew are transplants from NY.

FWIW,

I was just in Marsh Harbour, which is a non-towered field served by
three airlines and about the same number of air-taxi commuter
services! I was astounded by the number of GA operations--half a mile
of hangars, including one east of the terminal and at least three to
the west. A lot of the planes on the tarmac (and it was tarmac!) were
twins.

The runway is in fairly rough shape, pavement-wise.

Have a great time! Won't the sand be bloody hot in July?
