Bahamas Chatter: New Fees for Bahamas
New Fees for Bahamas
Posted: 13 Nov 2019 08:33 AM PST
The official start of new cruising permit entry fees for The Bahamas is scheduled for January 1, 2020. However, when we talked to a high level Customs official in Nassau, we were told that the new fees were in effect now. Even so, we have confirmation from boaters that have recently arrived in the Bahamas that there are no changes to the cruising fees. We can hope that there will be an indefinite delay in enforcing the new schedule, but anything can happen any time!

Friends cleared in at Alicetown, Bimini on November 12th. They report that they were issued a 12 month cruising permit under the old fee schedule. No changes yet.
