Maury says gov't listening as Bahamas Charter Yacht Show returns

The Bahamas Charter Yacht Show, cancelled in 2026 after higher clearance fees and entry requirements cut charter traffic, will return to Nassau February 24-28, 2027. The marinas association has regained its title sponsor, and its president says charter business is down 40 percent.

Why it matters:The show's return and the government's greater openness to marina and yachting concerns could help restore charter business, though industry leaders say concrete policy changes and timely clarity are still needed. (Neutral development)
