Arthur's Town Public Dock (port of entry)
24° 37.3′ N · 75° 40.3′ W · approximate
Bahamas Customs lists the Arthur's Town public dock as a Cat Island port of entry, which is handy for boats arriving from the north.
Practical
Coordinate is the GeoNames point for Arthur's Town settlement; the dock is on the town waterfront. Customs lists Arthur's Town Public Dock among Cat Island's ports of entry (alongside Smith's Bay and Bennett's Harbour docks and the New Bight and Smith's Bay airports). Fly the Q flag and send only the captain ashore. Apply and pay for the cruising permit online through Click2Clear first. Officers may need to come from elsewhere, so call ahead. Pets other than documented service animals are not allowed inside government offices. Landing at the old dock area is difficult in any swell; Smith Bay is the clearance office cruisers most often report using.
