I think most places except Morgan's Bluff you have to come in to a
dock (and pay to do so) in order to check in. You also have to pay
for water, even if you do not need to pay for fuel. Part of the entry
fee includes a fishing license, but there are limitations on what you
can catch and the methods you can use.

I did not need to pay at Lucaya/Freeport this year, and on return last
spring anchored at Lake Worth. They seem happy with that now that a
personal visit to Immigration is req'd.

Well I hate the idea of anchoring at Lake Worth.

Lucaya has 24 hour onsite customs officials, but I think you have to
pay at Old Bahama Bay, and since the hurricane they are allowing only
limited overnight docking. I know they require money for being at the
dock at Chub and at Cat Cay. I'm not sure about Nassau, but I think a
dock might be required there.

In Freeport/Lucaya, Just tie up at the fuel dock or next, it is free for
customs, I was there Dec 1,2004. They were just finishing hurricane
repairs. Old Bahama Bay has reduced rate if you do not stay night,
something like $15. Most will forgive fee if you buy fuel and are there
only the 1 hour needed to visit customs.

Yes that is what I meant when I said they had 24 hour customs - that
you could tie up at the fuel dock and do customs without charge.
Sorry I wasn't clear.

I do want to say that I do NOT think you should be referring to
Freeport/Lucaya. It's Lucaya. Freeport is a different harbour
altogether, and is NOT a place for little boats to be.

They were just finishing hurricane
repairs. Old Bahama Bay has reduced rate if you do not stay night,

Glad to hear that they are doing OK with the repairs.
