Just a heads up. Even though the Bahamian customs website and other publications show a $150 entry fee for boats 35 feet and under, the actual cut off is now thirty feet. When I asked at the customs office, they showed my an official letter dated April 2012 showing the cut off as 30 feet. I recall a group of PDQs was heading over this summer and just wanted you to be prepared!

We cleared at Sunrise Marina near Freeport in Dec 2012 and was pleasantly surprised to pay $150 for our PDQ 34. Better than the $300 I was expecting. I guess not everyone got the memo.

I normally clear in Green Turtle while on the hook - for almost 20 years!! First and last time to clear in Marsh Harbour - had to go to a marina and customs officer never set foot on the boat - then had to wait for immigration to show up at marina office... The economy is suffering here - I think of the extra $$ as a donation!!
