The Bahamas Crossing: Clearing, Flags & First Ports
$9.99
Fifty miles to another country, done the way a captain does it — the weather window, the paperwork, the flags, and your first ports.
Description
The Bahamas crossing is the trip every South Florida owner wants. Done right it is the easiest big adventure in boating. Done wrong it is a bad day over the Gulf Stream and a customs headache.
The real order of operations: why you never cross with any north in the wind and how to read the window, when to leave so you make landfall in daylight, the documents every person aboard needs, the yellow Q flag and the Bahamas courtesy flag and exactly when each flies, clearing in at a port of entry with only the captain ashore, your first ports from Bimini to the Berrys to the Exumas, reading Bahamian water by color, and clearing back into the U.S.
Written by captains who make this run. Confirm current rules with Bahamas Customs and CBP before you go. Includes the full checklist. Instant download.
