The system of mailboats in the Bahamas is a true net; it binds the country together. From Nassau, the mailboats go to every major island, with mostly cargo, but do take the adventuresome passenger. If travelling, you should not be in a hurry, and don't mind rooming with livestock. Go

It is vital to the Out Islands to get food, and building supplies. The schedule is below, but any traveller is advised to call the dockmaster's office in Nassau to ensure the times, at (242)393-1064. See the basic schedule below.
