U.S. travel advisory: increased caution, boating risks and beach safety
The U.S. State Department’s July 28, 2026 Bahamas advisory is Level 2: exercise increased caution because of crime. It warns about poorly regulated boating, reported sexual assaults by jet-ski operators, shark attacks and swimmers overestimating their abilities. It also restricts U.S. government employees from renting personal watercraft from independent operators on New Providence and Paradise Islands. This is country-level travel guidance, not a finding against a named business or a specific pig excursion.
