Lauttainfo Bahamas is part of lauttainfo.com, an independent set of country guides to ferries that began with Finland's road ferries. It is written in English for residents and visitors planning a crossing between the islands. It has no link with any ferry company, water-taxi service, excursion operator, port or government department, it does not sell tickets, and the advertising on its pages covers the costs.
Information about Bahamian boats is uneven. A fast ferry may publish a full schedule and fare table online, while a water taxi or a government ferry to a small island may have nothing written down at all beyond a notice at the dock. This guide publishes a crossing only when its times and fares can be traced to the operator or a public authority, and it says clearly when a detail is missing.
Each figure is copied from that official source on a stated date, and a dated copy of the source is kept. Prices keep the currency the operator quotes, Bahamian or US dollars, and are never converted. When two official sources disagree, or a number appears only in a travel directory or on a reseller's site, it stays off the page and the text explains what could not be confirmed.
Each crossing page carries two dates: the last check, and a deadline for the next one. Schedules that change with the season, or with the days a boat is in service, are looked at again before that deadline arrives.
If something you found at the dock no longer matches a page, email [email protected] and name the crossing. The page is corrected once the operator's own information confirms the change.
