A VIP airliner lands a whole Bahamas party together, which is normally the reason for choosing this category. The Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP falls into airliner-size, so the trip would operate under FAR Part 121 or the foreign equivalent rather than FAR Part 135.
Bombardier Aerospace introduced the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP in 1996. VIP / ExecLiner conversion of CRJ-200 airframe.

Why the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP Fits the Bahamas
Slot and parking availability at the destination is worth confirming early for aircraft this size.
It handles sports, corporate and event movements where splitting the group is not acceptable.
The published 1,645 nautical miles covers Dallas, Toronto, and Chicago nonstop out of Nassau once you allow for winds and reserves. How much you are carrying and what the winds are doing will move that, which the operator calculates per trip.
