After only opening to the US on July 1, the Bahamas are now excluding US travelers.

Now they are in full lockdown, I do not know if we will ever reopen in the BVI as this is direct from our health minister and that includes "URGENT!"

URGENT!

BREAKING: Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis has just announced "a complete national lock down" of every island for at least the next two weeks starting 10 PM Tuesday.
This after an alarming spike in COVID 19 cases that Minnis called " a second save" The spike came after the recent opening of its borders.

Yes, I believe they are back open again, after opening, then closing. Haven't really followed the Bahamas very closely.

Thinking of a late January charter myself, or late February. Seems like Bahamas have a nice protocol in place and they are being cautious. The travel site is clear and they have a good sign up, you can buy the covid insurance we see so many mention right on their travel site. I have a charter credit that they are increasing if i travel in Q1......What do I have to lose if i book? another extension of the credit I already have lol..... I am hoping things begin to curve flatter with the vaccine rolling out. I know it will be months and months before it reaches main street but......

Will let you know if i pull the trigger and how it seems to go. I have to say I have flown twice, August and September, and the airlines are extremely cautious and have it together. I did have to play seat hockey a bit, kept moving my seat to rows with empty middle seats so that It would help with social distance. It did help, Just a tip

toast--be advised that the temps MAY not be that warm, that time of year in the Bahamas. The water is not going to be that warm either. Just sayin'.

Nassau is roughly about the same latitude as Miami, so temps are comparable in the winter. Just do a bit of research to see what the average high temperatures are and the average water temperature, so you will be mentally prepared. I remember we took a cruise (on a big boat) one December to the Bahamas. The temps were about 70 and there was a cool rain. The ladies in the straw market in Nassau were wearing hoodies and/or sweatshirts! grin
