Hey there, ferry friend! πŸ‘‹

We're Mark & Jennifer Sullivan, the island-hopping family behind BahamasHopping. After 50+ ferry trips (and saving over $40,000!), we built this site to help families like yours discover the magic of ferry travel. These terms keep things fair for everyone β€” written in plain English, not lawyer-speak!

🚒 Welcome Aboard!

By using BahamasHopping.com (that's us!), you're agreeing to these terms. Think of it like boarding a ferry β€” you need a ticket to ride. If you don't agree with these terms, that's totally cool, but you'll need to hop off our site.

Last updated: July 29, 2025 β€” We update these occasionally, like when ferry schedules change!

πŸ—ΊοΈ What We Do (And Don't Do)

We're your ferry travel buddies! We help you find and compare ferry routes, schedules, and prices across the Bahamas. We share our real experiences, tips, and tricks from years of island hopping.

What we DON'T do: We don't actually operate any ferries (though Mark wishes he could captain one!). When you book through our links, you're booking directly with ferry operators or trusted booking partners. We're like your knowledgeable friend pointing you to the best deals β€” not the actual ferry company.

Quick tip from Jennifer: Always double-check your booking details with the ferry operator. Weather happens, schedules change, and boats need maintenance β€” just like our minivan!

πŸ’° How We Keep The Lights On

Real talk: We use affiliate links. When you book through our partners, we earn a small commission (usually 3-8%). This doesn't cost you extra β€” in fact, we often find deals that save you money! It's how we can keep providing free info and maintain the site.

Our promise: We only recommend ferries and services we'd use ourselves. No sketchy operators, no hidden fees, no BS. If we wouldn't put our kids on it, we won't recommend it to yours.

βœ… Your Part of The Deal

When using BahamasHopping, you agree to:

  • Be honest: Use real info when booking (trust us, fake names don't work at ferry terminals!)
  • Be responsible: Check passport requirements, arrival times, and weather conditions
  • Be respectful: Don't scrape our content or hack our site (seriously, who does that?)
  • Be 18+: Or have your parents' permission (kids can't book ferries alone anyway!)

πŸ“Έ Our Content (It's Ours!)

All the guides, reviews, photos, and island wisdom on this site? That's our intellectual property. We worked hard on it (50+ ferry trips, remember?). You can share links to our content, but please don't copy and paste our stuff elsewhere.

Want to use our content? Just ask! We're usually happy to help fellow travel enthusiasts. Email us at hello@bahamashopping.com.

βš–οΈ The Legal Stuff (Sorry, Gotta Include This)

While we do our best to provide accurate, helpful info, things change faster than a dolphin chasing a ferry! Schedules shift, prices fluctuate, and sometimes storms roll in. We can't be held responsible for:

  • Changes in ferry schedules or cancellations
  • Weather-related issues (Hurricane season is real, folks!)
  • Issues with ferry operators or booking partners
  • That seasickness you got from ignoring our Dramamine advice

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" β€” We make no warranties about accuracy, though we try our darndest to keep everything updated!

πŸ”’ Your Privacy Matters

We take your privacy seriously β€” as seriously as we take sunscreen on the ferry deck! Check out our Privacy Policy for the full scoop on how we handle your data.

The short version: We don't sell your info, we use secure connections, and we only collect what's needed to help you book amazing ferry trips.

πŸ“ Changes to These Terms

Just like ferry routes, these terms might change occasionally. When we make big changes, we'll post a notice on the site. Small updates (like fixing typos) happen without notice.

By continuing to use BahamasHopping after changes, you're accepting the new terms. It's like how ferry prices go up each year β€” annoying but inevitable!

Questions? Let's Chat! πŸ’¬

πŸ›οΈ Legal Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Florida, USA (where we catch our ferries!). Any disputes should be resolved in Broward County, Florida courts. But honestly? We'd rather work things out over a cold Kalik on the ferry deck!

🌴 Thanks for Reading!

Seriously, you made it to the end of the terms! Most people skip this stuff. As a reward, here's a pro tip: Tuesday ferries are usually less crowded, and if you see dolphins on the starboard side, they often swim to port for an encore!

Now let's get you on that ferry to paradise! 🏝️
