An Athens Jet to the Bahamas Closely Tracks Kirby Smart’s Baker’s Bay Trip

The charter-listed Hawker left Georgia on March 9, spent nearly five hours at Marsh Harbour and returned to Florida before photos placed Smart at the resort.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart was photographed at Baker’s Bay in the Bahamas during a March getaway that also included LSU coach Lane Kiffin and the Cavinder twins. A charter-listed Hawker 800XP left Athens for the resort’s gateway airport on March 9, making it a close—but not confirmed—match to Smart’s travel.

N729AT had repositioned from Stuart, Florida, to Athens the previous evening and remained overnight. It departed Athens at 8:38 a.m. ET, reached the Marsh Harbour airport area at 10:06 a.m., departed at 2:56 p.m. and returned to Stuart at 3:34 p.m. The nearly five-hour stop fits a same-day drop-off; Jet Access lists N729AT as an eight-seat charter aircraft.

Lane Kiffin’s Instagram Story showed Smart at a tropical golf course, and Hanna Cavinder later posted a photo with Smart and Haley Cavinder. Contemporaneous coverage identified the gathering as Baker’s Bay. Those posts establish Smart was at the resort, but no manifest, invoice or airport record identifies him as an N729AT passenger or discloses who paid for the flight.
