Yes, fully operational with precautions in place.

Our intention is to go to the Bahamas as regularly scheduled, with the Keys as a back up if border-crossing procedures change without enough time for us to prepare.

Probably no more or less safe than traveling anywhere else. You should take all precautions when traveling, wear face coverings, have a change of clothes for when you arrive, wash hands often and use hand sanitizer when soap and water is not an option, and practice good social distancing on your way to and from the boat.

Face coverings are mandatory in all public spaces in Miami, including outdoor areas, failure to comply can result in a fine. Hotels are operating normally, many small restaurants are limited to outdoor seating only. Prepare accordingly. You can see latest developments here.

Yes. You will need a RT-PCR (nasal swab) test done no more than 5 days out from your entry into the Bahamas effective Sept 1 (remember we don’t enter the Bahamas until the second day of charter so count backwards from the day after you board). Results must be submitted to the Bahamas Ministry of health before entry to obtain a Travel Health Visa turn around time is quick, usually within an hour or two. Visitors without a visa will not be admitted. You will be sent detailed instructions 2 weeks prior to your trip’s departure.

If a 5-day turn-around for results is absolutely not feasible where you live, there are at-home test kits that return results back with a 3-day turn around:?https://www.pixel.labcorp.com/covid-19

Living on a boat for a week with 16 other people is not a quarantine. Please don’t do this.

Honestly we haven’t changed much. We have always deep-cleaned all cabins and public spaces between charters and sanitized high-traffic and high-touch communal areas multiple times per day before the pandemic hit. We are encouraging social distancing and have ways you can minimize your time spent doing paperwork so you’re spending less time in close-quarters on check-in (digital waivers,pre-pay add-ons, email a picture of your c-card ahead of time). There is lots of space to spread out at meal times, you’re outside or underwater ideally most of the trip. It’s pretty easily to socially distance 17 people on a 104′ boat!

No. It is true that as of Jan 26, 2021, all people entering the US by international air travel will be required to present a negative test. However, our winter destinations of St. Croix and Puerto Rico are US territories and as such are not considered international travel. The Bahamas is international, but we reenter the US by sea.

Check your local regulations, it varies by state.
