For now, the Bahamas are closed to folks from the US.
Seems we are not controlling our C19 and they do not want infected folks from the US.

Yeah I read that yesterday about the Bahamas. Damn shame, because they really need our tourist dollars right now, but I certainly understand their concern especially with Florida, Texas and other states so out of control right now.

Unless it changed today, there was an exception for private yachts and aircraft.

But, who knows how long that will last.

No...just closed to people from the US coming in on commercial aircraft or boats. Private is still allowed with negative testing before.

The Bahamas have now made it a negative test within five days, plus a new test when you move between islands.

Not sure how we could work the five days. We would have to go down to West Palm, then be sure of a good crossing day three days out, get tested and get the results in two days, then leave.

All a bit hit and miss - and then how does one get tested if moving between islands out there!

I can't see any different rules for private boaters.

Just best to sit still and let this pass unfortunately.

You will definitely have to have some luck with the timing and weather to pull that off and not have a miserable crossing.
