About the Boat Registry:

In an attempt to slow down the escalating boat theft problem in The Bahamas, and possibly catch those responsible, we are asking all boaters to participate in a community based mariners network.

The ultimate goal is to stop theft, and help minimize financial losses for everyone. We are asking that all boat owners keep a digital picture of their boat on file, along with a description of the boat. The description should include, make, length, model, type and quantity of engines, color of hull and deck, serial numbers of hull and engine(s), details of accessories, home port and contact information.

If a boat is stolen, we are asking that the owner or agent send an alert e-mail with the picture and details of the boat and theft to the following: stolenboat@yahoo.com Please make sure that the subject says: boat stolen

This e-mail address will be checked throughout the day, and in the event a boat is stolen, the alert will be sent out in a mass e-mail. The more people that know about the theft, the greater the chances are of recovery.

If a stolen boat is seen, please alert your local police station, with the information, or send an e-mail to stolenboat@yahoo.com .

We are asking that you forward this e-mail to anyone you know who owns a boat and would like to participate in this community effort.
