Customs and Immigration will come to your vessel. No one other than the captain is permitted to leave the boat until your vessel has been cleared. Everyone on board must have proof of citizenship and fill out an immigration card. U.S. citizens can present a passport. You must declare all onboard firearms with Customs. You must provide the firearm serial number and manufacturer, plus an exact count of ammunition. Though you are allowed to have a firearm on your vessel, you cannot take it off the vessel unless you obtain a permit from the Bahamian police ahead of time. Weapons must be under lock and key at all times. Any infraction of this law is dealt with severely.
