Cable Beach runs along the coast just west of downtown Nassau, the island's glossy resort strip, home to the Baha Mar resort, beachfront condos and a settled residential and expat community. It mixes holiday lets and second homes with permanent residents who want the beach on their doorstep and the city close by. So shipping here is often a furniture or full-home move into a condo or villa, alongside the usual family barrels.
Whichever yours is, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs and protects everything in the UK, ships it, clears it and delivers to your Cable Beach home.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the islands.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Coming home for good? Bring effects and a vehicle in under the concession.
