It has been that way for a while now. All vessels must check in at the first port of clearance before continuing in Bahamian waters. Sorry that you found this out in a less than friendly way.

Re: customs in abacos bahamas

I guess it all depends on where you are arriving from, but I find it a little surprising that you would get grief for going to GTC instead of Spanish to clear in. They aren't all that far apart.
