such a dumb statement. if it is "for sale" it is "on the market" even if it is not participating in the MLS database. It is more correctly termed a "Pocket Listing" which is "On The Market". goes to show that some people think they know more than they do. hubris is never a good marketing strategy IMHO.
What an absolute joke for the tribune to print such nonsense. "Bahamas charter yacht owners" Please correct me if I am wrong but if the owners of these vessels are Bahamians or permanent residents of the Bahamas they can simply and easily register the vessel in the Bahamas Port dept. and then they don't have to pay all these "crazy fees". What a dumb thing to say. Funny that this organization did not exist until just now. the website is copywright 2025 and the ownership is hidden. I mean how laughable that they can't be bothered to identify or go on record with their names and home addresses to support a cause that they believe in pushing for. This is all just extremely wealthy people not wanting to pay fees or taxes. I have to pay mine, they can pay theirs or duty the boat in to the Bahamas and no more fees and taxes and they can come and go as they please.
reny is a xenophobic typical Bahamian lawyer pretending to be robinhood but I suspect he is really just a wolf in sheeps clothing pretending to be a good person to get your vote. He wants to be Prime Minister but is now realising that will very likely never happen. ambition is good but only so much. you don't want to let your ambition kill your reputation. I think he is a typical political floozy happy to support who ever gives him a platform and an income. no real loyalty to anyone except himself which is a fair position to take in life but keep in mind it can hurt your policital ambitions.
what a complete waste of time and resources. The black market will never go away in this fashion and the black market is what drives the wealth and growth of the gangland world of illegal narcotics and weapons. if you kill the black market you kill the source of income and the gangland world dissipates pretty rapidly. The main backers of crypto are money launderers, the main backers of keeping drugs illegal are all the people making money off of it being illegal.
hahahaha, fibre to my home and office and still the connection strength is dismally slow and unreliable. literally speaking the satellite in a major thunderstorm is more reliable and has less packet loss, shorter ping than the fibre connections from both BTC and Cable Bahamas, both home and office. Cable and BTC lost their edge as soon as starlink hit the market and they have shown they are completely incapable of matching the service. They don't buy enough bandwith which means they have to throttle or slow down all the end users which is a direct link to how much profit they will make that year.
because the downtown hotels have all done so well over the recent decades. British colonial been closed or sold how many times? the ones by arawak cay barely alive. Heard margaritaville is barely making it and it is basically brand new. Downtown nassau is all chinese made t shirts and eastern european jewelry
Oh, and since we are on the topic. the expensive office internet service regularly get 25 to 30 mb download which is great but starlink averages 90MB and higher at a fraction of the cost even in cloudy stormy weather.
BTW Cable still has not bothered to rebuild anything but the very basic infrastructure in Abaco. The majority of homes in Central Abaco have to rely on a cell phone box and do not have fibre or copper 6 years later. Cable is a joke and they know they are. Now to get back to trying to cancel my service with BTC which is going on 3 weeks so far.
meanwhile the internet service at my office is dismally slow. Cable had the entire market at one time, screwed it up with complacency and crappy service. now in typical fashion they blame the competition rather than the fact that their service sucks. are still denying that they used laws to cut out any competition 30 years ago and they still managed to screw it up? btw urca is complete a joke.
