Freeport to Nassau: Ferry, Mailboat or Flight?

| Mailboat from Freeport Harbour | Ask The MailBoat Company about passenger space and reservations. Its Nassau office is listed at +1 242 502 2628. Contact listing. |
| Bahamas Ferries freight | The freight schedule is for shipping. Check with the operator before treating any sailing as an option for passengers. |
Can you take a mailboat to Nassau?
An October 2026 guide citing the operator’s sailing notice reports limited passenger space on the Freeport–Nassau run. The operator’s online timetable was unavailable when we checked, so confirm your direction, sailing date, dock and seat directly before relying on it.
Connecting from the Fort Lauderdale ferry
Baleària Caribbean arrives at Freeport Harbour. Domestic flights leave from Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO), so you need a separate transfer and a separate ticket. Leave room for immigration and baggage collection. If Nassau is your main destination, compare a direct flight from South Florida before booking two legs.
Other passenger ferries from Nassau
The Bahamas Ferries service to Spanish Wells and Harbour Island is a separate route from Nassau. Use the Bahamas ferry schedule guide to see which islands are linked by passenger services.
