Planning a Bahamas Trip? Make Sure Your Boat Has AIS

Are you planning to take your boat to the Bahamas one day—or just want some extra safety on the water? There’s a new requirement for vessels entering Bahamian waters: your boat needs a working AIS (Automatic Identification System).

What is AIS?
AIS is a marine safety system that sends and receives real-time information about your boat’s position, speed, course, and other important data. Nearby vessels and shore stations can “see” your boat, which helps prevent collisions and improves situational awareness—especially in crowded or unfamiliar waters.

Why It Matters
Compliance with AIS regulations isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about making your boating experience safer for you, your passengers, and other mariners. Whether you’re headed to the Bahamas or cruising locally, AIS adds a layer of protection and peace of mind.
