Lucaya sits on the coast next to Freeport, the resort and marina side of Grand Bahama, home to the Port Lucaya Marketplace, beaches and a settled residential and expat community. It pairs holiday living with permanent homes, so moves here range from family barrels to furniture and full-home relocations into waterfront condos and villas.
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 at the nearby Freeport port and delivers to your Lucaya 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.

Goods for Lucaya clear at the Freeport Container Port on Grand Bahama, the island's own port in the free-trade zone, so they don't route through Nassau. A broker files the entry in Click2Clear, and ordinary shipments may attract import duty, which varies by item, plus VAT at 10%, a 1% customs processing fee and an environmental levy on the landed value. If you're a returning resident, a Bahamian or permanent resident home to live after at least 24 months away, you can bring used household effects in free of duty up to 10,000 dollars, plus one vehicle up to 30,000 dollars, with Ministry of Finance approval, once every five years. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
Goods clear at the nearby Freeport Container Port, so Lucaya is a short final leg, with no inter-island hop. Your partner handles access for condos and villas. Your vetted partner times the delivery with you and handles access at your address. Shipping to another island or town? Browse every area on the Bahamas hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money. The Bahamian dollar is held on par with the US dollar. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so the money side is simple and fair. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Whether it's a barrel or a full home, we connect you with one partner suited to the Lucaya route and Bahamas customs, not a call centre. We work hand in hand with established overseas removal companies and international movers, the moving companies in our network, so for a full relocation you get a mover holding FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and a broker clears your goods in the Bahamas.
