      Bahamas Chatter: Boat/Dinghy Thefts in the Bahamas

      Boat/Dinghy Thefts in the Bahamas
      Posted: 06 May 2016 08:54 AM PDT
      We are getting more frequent reports of thefts from cruising yachts and from marinas. Some vessels stolen were larger outboards; many are dinghies, some large with big outboards. Reports have come from the Abacos, Nassau and George Town. Nassau thefts have occurred from a paddleboarder sneaking into marinas.

      Concern is growing among cruisers and many are expressing the possibility that they will completely avoid these areas in the future.

      To make your feelings known and to press for some government action on this issue, here is some contact information for Bahamas Tourism.

      Let them know the seriousness of the thefts in terms of loss of tourism in the Bahamas. Perhaps it will get some action to stop and further prevent this threat to cruising yachts and other vessels in the Bahamas.
