Visitor's guide

Your Bahamas cruising permit, simplified

Plan your trip, estimate official fees, and start your guest application when you are ready—clear steps from anchor to approval.

Think of this page as a harbor pilot for paperwork: we show what goes into your Bahamas cruising permit cost (official Bahamas cruising permit fees plus our service), and where to apply—so you spend less time on forms and more time in Bahamian waters. Prefer a story-style walkthrough first? See the Bahamas cruising permit guide.
