How to get there: Bradford Marine, Queen's Highway, is the departure port for the Bahamas Master. Return flights from Freeport (or Nassau) to the USA are treated as domestic flights, which makes life easier for your onward journey as you can make "domestic" rather than "international" connections.
Arrival/Boarding/Departure: It is recommended you aim to arrive in Freeport on the day before the liveaboard departs. Transfers to and from Bradford Marine on embarkation and disembarkation days are provided with specific pick up times from only Freeport Airport, Fortuna Beach, Bell Channel, and Pelican Bay to arrive at the embarkation point in time for boarding at 17:00 hrs, for a 18:00 hrs departure to the night anchorage. If tides require, departure may be delayed until the early morning of the following day. Return to port is after lunch on the afternoon of the last full day. Check-out is at any time up to 10:00 hrs on the final morning. The last dive of the trip will be at around 10.00 hrs on the second last day of the trip. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving.
