Jet Ski Safety & Regulation: The U.S. Embassy in Nassau issued a fresh warning to Americans about renting jet skis, citing serious injury, hospitalisations and sexual assault claims; local operators pushed back, saying the industry’s safety record doesn’t justify a blanket scare and pointing to ongoing infrastructure frustrations like beach ramp access. Boating Rules in Nassau Harbour: New port restrictions take effect July 1, including a formal 5mph/no-wake speed limit and penalties up to $100,000 for leaving vessels unmanned for 21 days or more. Fuel Prices Pressure: Finance Minister Michael Halkitis said government is monitoring “concerning” pump price rises as global oil shocks feed through to local costs.
