I arrived Saturday and got tested on Wednesday at Staniel cay. Our charter co made the arrangements but I think it would be fairly easy to do yourself as well. This also worked for our re entry to US on Saturday. This is definetely not the BVI, we never had a meal on shore, although at Staniel Cay we could have and did have drinks at the Yacht Club there. Norman Cay had one small bar, did not go and nothing else . We did not go further south than this and I am not sure here was anywhere else between Nassau and Staniel that had amenities on it. Waderick Wells was the national park, No amenities but a whale skeleton on the beach and lots of cool hiking. Really not much bar and restaurant life, this is all about sailing and snorkeling and nature. I am sure if you google you may find some more islands with minor amenities.
I know there were some other places that were doing testing but I could not tell you. One of our shipmates got tested at the marina when we got back as he was staying a few extra days and needed the test to get back in the states again.

Honestly the sailing was crazy, so many sandbars and shallows, I often had no idea why we would head miles out and come right back in again, but it was to nav around the shallows. We had a lot of head winds too, our captain told us to come during April thru November due to strong winds Dec to march, if we were to come back. So keep that in mind.

All that being said I will go back in a heartbeat, was very easy to get to and the covid requirements were not too bad, a little stressful to get the one so you could fly done in just the right amount of time, and uploaded and approved though... It is different from BVI heavy on sailing and light on beach bars. Bring your own alcohol and ice and you will be fine!!
