BAHAMAS MOORINGS RATES
JANUARY 2026
We just completed a survey of the cost of moorings in the Bahamas. Our numbers are based on information from local sources, not the Internet. We did find that a search of the Internet revealed ranges of prices that weren’t always accurate.
It’s Nassau Grouper closed season.
From December 1st–February 28th, all capture, sale, and purchase of Nassau Grouper is prohibited.
This pause helps protect spawning and secures the future of Bahamian fisheries.

Here's the link to the 2026 Tide Tables to help you plan your next cruise to the Bahamas:
The northern formerly dredged channel, marked with buoys, is unreliable. The sand shoal on Henry Bank continues to be fluid.
If your vessel has any draft at all, you are best to use the Old Channel to the south where the range used to be. There are no markers remaining.
Explorer Charts BIM 1 (small-scale) in the Near Bahamas Chartbook, 12th edition, has changed several courses leading to the South Bimini waypoint. See screenshot. VPR required as you approach.
As an American lving in Nassau and Spanish Wells for over a decade . . . . and going to Abaco 4 days after Dorian with the Spanish Wells Lobster trawlers . . . I can tell you without a doubt . . . That Dorian & Covid together was a far more devastating economic disaster to hit our Beloved Bahamas ! They had to dig themselves OUT-OF-A HOLE somehow and tourism is the ladder out! ! !
