I used to fly my Bonanza to the Bahamas all the time some years back. Watch out for the Freeport airport. Their idea of safety is, "Deed he hit yo mon? Ok den, no worrys!" (and that was an exact quote from a tower conversation after a twin cessna landed on 13 after I rolled to a stop midfield 31).
Also...always bring in fresh fruit and veggies. A watermellon and some fresh tomatoes will rocket you through customs. Also, if they get used to getting goodies, they'll watch your plane. Last thing you want is for some drug dealer to take off an inspection panel and load you up with stuff for the drug dogs to find back in Florida.
Also, your significant other, passenger or whatever rides right seat and is crew or co-pilot, whether they have a license or not. Saves entry fees. At least, that was the way it worked a few years ago, unless it has changed since.

hahahah Jon....And when is the last time a drug dealer ever tried to steal or load up a gyroplane...My guess....never!!! FW on the other hand....constant bribes and 2 hr. pre searches for foul play on panels etc. Yeah, FW...that's the way to go for sure!!

I am seriously thinking of a Bahamas run in the Annoying Orange in the next few months. Folks do it in single engine FW all the time. I do trust the 912. Have to get set up with an inflatable and stuff. http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/10324

Not sure I'd want to take a gyro across there. The big problem is crossing the defense zone. I've had to circle for quite some time on more than one occasion waiting for a clearance to re-enter the country. Even with a transponder, sometimes Miami Center has trouble seeing you. I can only imagine them trying to see a gyroplane. And too, 5000 ft + is a good starter altitude for radar visibility. I could always file a pop-up IFR if it got all hazy or the ceiling dropped while I was waiting for clearance. I never wanted to go over there at all if VFR was the only option. Oh...and you'll need 12" font for your N-numbers.
