New Patrol Boat Targets Maritime Violations | Bahamas News

The government’s new $300K patrol boat, the Fluid Patrol Cabin 36, is hitting the water to crack down on illegal charters, unregistered vessels, and maritime violations—targeting a $544M industry that’s bleeding revenue. Led by the newly formed Maritime Revenue Unit (launched May 2023), this multi-agency force—police, defense, customs, immigration—has already seized contraband and vehicles, raking in over $10M in its first Bimini operation. Since then, millions more have flowed into coffers, helping fund local governments on the Family Islands. This isn’t just enforcement—it’s a strategic investment in protecting borders, boosting revenue, and ensuring every boat on the water plays by the rules.
