Bahamas cruising permit fees
These fees are for pleasure yachts that do not charter. Bahamas Customs prices them by length.
| Length | 30 days | 6 months | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 ft | US$150 | US$300 | US$500 |
| 30 ft to under 50 ft | US$250 | US$300 | US$500 |
| 50 ft to under 100 ft | US$350 | US$750 | US$1,000 |
| Over 100 ft | US$600 | US$2,000 | US$3,000 |
Bahamas Customs. The 6-month and 12-month fees cover yachts up to 50 ft in the first two rows. A passenger arrival tax of US$20 a person applies when a pleasure yacht brings more than three crew or passengers aged six or older who do not live in the Bahamas. The Customs other taxes page lists a US$30 departure tax for the same passengers, waived when the arrival tax receipt is shown. The outward clearance certificate costs US$75.
Clearance and charter
Pleasure or hire
Bahamas Customs says a yacht used for commercial purposes or for hire is not a pleasure vessel. It cannot get a temporary cruising permit. Check the rules for your passport.
Charter yachts
A yacht on charter fills in a customs form and shows a charter licence from the Bahamas Port Department. The Bahamas Marinas Association says a yacht pays 14% charter tax to the Port Department for every charter. Check the rules for your passport.
