We planned or passage to the Bahamas and e had to follow the following protocol:

Once in possession of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test, all travelers will then be required to apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa at travel.gov.bs (click on the International Tab) where the required test must be uploaded. If technical difficulties are experienced with the Health Travel Visa website, please call (242) 502-0829 or email healthvisa@bahamas.com.

An automated response will be provided upon completion, and only those who receive a green color-coded response can travel. Please submit this form at least 24-48 hours prior to arrival. It is essential that travellers present proof of confirmation upon arrival in their destination. Please also bring printed copy of negative test result.
The rapid antigen test will be conducted four days / five nights (96 hours) after arrival in The Bahamas. The rapid tests are easy, quick and will yield results in 20 minutes or less with results being provided electronically via a QR Code. Visitors departing on Day Five will not be required to obtain this test. Boaters who have entered The Bahamas and is out to sea on the fifth day is required to obtain an Antigen Test at the first port of call thereafter.
We were given several different locations to get the follow-up Covid test. Montegue Medical Center was on the list. We decided to anchor in the Nassau Harbour and dinghy up to the Harbour Bay Marina and walk over to the medical center to do it tests.
Once we arrived at the medical center we were told that the do not do the follow-up test. We were told that we must go to the Lab itself for the tests. The nurses were so sweet and arranged for us to catch a ride with the people that were in line in front of us. They were in the same situation as us, only they lived in Nassau and were returning from vacation in Fort Lauderdale FL. We were given the instructions to go to Premier Clinical Lab in the Frank Hanna Building at 121 Collins Ave, Nassau, Bahamas.
These people were angels and gave us a ride there and a ride back. I couldn't believe how gracious they were. How lucky were we to have found them.
We received the results within minutes and we're approved to stay in the Bahamas. Yay!!!
