I enquired about registering a boat in Bahamas when I was in Georgetown
in 2013. There were some fees for the registration itself, but so long
as there was no problem with the boat's paperwork, the main thing was
the import duty which was 10% of the value of the boat. Once registered
as Bahamian, there are no more cruising permits required for the boat,
just visa stamps on passports. I doubt if things have changed all that
much but the government of Bahamas web pages do have quite a bit of
customs information available online last time I looked.

Subject: Stus-List Selling a FL vessel in Bahamas
Hi there, does anyone have experience with selling a vessel in
the Bahamas? I have a 1979 C&C36 that is registered/titled in Florida,
and am hoping to do a one-way trip, ending in Georgetown, Exumas
(selling the vessel and flying out of there). Would I need to register
the vessel in the Bahamas? Would I even be able to? Has anyone heard of
a similar experience?
Thank you for your time, Wyatt
