Recreational spearfishing and fishing regulations for foreign sailors in the Bahamas are explained in detail, drawing on the official written permit issued at check-in, Bahamian fisheries officer interviews, and additional research. The permit applies to the vessel, not the individual — a sailboat and dinghy require a permit, but a paddleboard, kayak, or shore dive does not.1:13 Bag limits are six conch, 10 spiny lobster (crayfish), and 20 fish or 60 pounds of other species per vessel at any time, with an 18-fish sub-limit for kingfish, dorado, tuna, and wahoo.3:32 Spiny lobster season closes April 1–July 31; Nassau grouper closes December 1–February 28; stone crab closes June 1–October 15.6:15 Berried (egg-bearing) female lobsters are always off-limits.6:49 Conch must have a well-formed, thick lip.7:37 Spearfishing is banned within one mile of New Providence, one mile off Freeport's southern coast, and 200 yards off all other family islands measured from high tide.10:24 Sea cucumber harvest is prohibited but not listed on the permit.18:58 Bonefish are catch-and-release only.15:19 Fisheries officers have enforcement discretion, but lobster taken out of season in excess is the most common reason for prosecution.13:02
