Documents Needed for Your Travels

Everyone must have a passport! As of January 2007 the US requires a passport to enter the United States. As of July 2007 the Bahamas will require a passport to enter their country. If you do not have an updated passport please get this done now so you have it in time for your trip.

  • There is a $15 (cash) departure tax you will pay at the airport when you are leaving the Bahamas.

 

Arriving in Marsh Harbor

  • Upon your arrival in Marsh Harbour get a taxi at the airport. Call "Captain Thomas" on the taxi's VHF radio on Channel 74. We will instruct the taxi where to meet us. For some reason if you do not reach us on the radio, have the taxi take you to the Conch Marina.
