How This Site Is Funded 🚢

What affiliate links are and how they affect the price you pay

💰

The 10-Second Version

When you book through our links, we earn a small commission (3-8%) at NO extra cost to you. The commission helps keep BahamasHopping free to use and updated. BahamasHopping is an independently operated information site, and the price you pay does not change.

📢 FTC Disclosure (The Legal Bit)

In accordance with FTC guidelines: BahamasHopping.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we earn commissions on qualifying bookings made through our links. Recommendations are based on operator timetables, published fares and the operators' own booking information. A commission is earned only if a booking is completed through a link, and it is not the basis for which route or operator is listed.

Important: You'll see phrases like "Book Now," "Check Prices," or "Reserve Your Spot" throughout our site. These are affiliate links that earn us commissions when you make a booking.

⚙️ How Our Affiliate System Works

When you click a booking link on this site and complete a purchase, the ferry operator or booking platform can see that the booking came from BahamasHopping. It pays a commission, usually 3-8% of the booking value.

The commission is paid by the operator or platform and is not added to your fare. Where a current promo code exists, it is shown next to the offer.

  • You pay: The same price as on the operator's own site, or less where a promo code applies
  • BahamasHopping earns: A commission from the operator or booking platform
  • What it pays for: Hosting and updating the site

🤝 What We Promote (And What We Don't)

Partner links are limited to the following kinds of offers:

  • Reliable ferry operators with good safety records and on-time performance
  • Trusted booking platforms that offer real customer support
  • Travel insurance, since storms can cancel sailings
  • Hotels and resorts whose operating status and location have been checked
  • Car rentals on islands where you actually need them

Not listed: Operators without a verifiable timetable or booking terms, and offers whose price or schedule cannot be checked against the operator's own information.

🌟 Our Transparency Promise

BahamasHopping follows these rules for affiliate content:

  • Clearly mark affiliate links (you'll see booking buttons and "check prices" links)
  • Name the drawbacks of a route or operator as well as its strengths
  • Update content when schedules, fares or terminal details change
  • Answer questions and corrections sent by email
  • Keep recommendations independent of commission rates

Note: Where flying is the better option for a route, the site says so.
