Permit· Long Island· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
Stella Maris Public Dock (port of entry)
23° 33.4′ N · 75° 16.3′ W · approximate
One of the seven Long Island points that Bahamas Customs lists as ports of entry, alongside Stella Maris Marina and the Stella Maris Airport.
Practical
Bahamas Customs lists Stella Maris Public Dock separately from the marina, but no public source located it, so the position shown is the OpenStreetMap pier at Stella Maris Marina. In practice cruisers clearing at the north end arrange it through the marina, which calls the officers from the airport; one 2014 crew was asked for a $80 travel charge on top of fees (disputed; verify locally). noforeignland reports that Long Island Customs can be booked by WhatsApp and that fees are mostly paid online (Click2Clear).
