Ragged Island mailboat
22° 11.7′ N · 75° 43.6′ W · approximate
The mailboat from Nassau is Ragged Island's lifeline for freight, fuel drums and groceries, and the way long-stay cruisers get provisions sent down.
Practical
Coordinate approx: pinned at the Duncan Town government dock. Wikipedia: the island relies on the mail boat for travel to the major islands and for freight. A 2023 ActiveCaptain reviewer understood the supply boat called about three times a month; call ahead or ask locals for the next arrival. MV Privateer notes long-stay cruisers can arrange mailboat delivery of provisions; outchasingstars (2022) recommends ordering through the mail ship. Schedules change and slip with weather: confirm in Nassau (Potter's Cay) or in town.
