Island-hopping is possible through Bahamas Ferries which runs catamarans to out islands including Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, and Harbour Island from Potter’s Cay between the old and new Paradise Island bridges. Or visitors can travel as the locals do, on mailboats which leave for the out islands from Potter’s Cay or Prince George Wharf, but passage can run on “Bahamas time” (slowly) and cargo can include livestock.
