Crew changes: Bahamas Customs requires ID for every crew member and passenger on the vessel's Click2Clear clearance and charges a $20 passenger arrival tax per non-resident aged 6+; only the captain may go ashore until the boat is cleared. The sources do not set out a crew sign-on/sign-off procedure, so call the Customs Harbour Office before a crew member flies out or joins, and keep the cruising permit and crew list current. Bahamasair, Western Air, Flamingo Air, LeAir and Pineapple Air connect to the Family Islands; the Bahamas Ferries terminal at Potter's Cay is 45 minutes to 1 hour by road.
