They were hugely polite, gave me 60 days after I said I would be

Did things just change? Was $300 for 1 year cruising permit, fishing
licenses, etc., $150 under 35 feet as I recall. No other choice.
Just checked their official web site:

When arriving in port, boaters should observe the following:
* Visiting boaters must clear Customs and Immigration at the
nearest designated Port of Entry.
* As you enter port, fly the yellow quarantine flag and notify
Customs of your arrival. Customs and Immigration will come to your vessel.
* No one other than the captain is permitted to leave the boat
until your vessel has been cleared.
* Everyone on board must have proof of citizenship and fill out
an immigration card. U.S. citizens can present a passport or birth
certificate (original or certified copy) and an official photo ID,
such as a driver's license or voter registration card.
* You must declare all onboard firearms with Customs. You must
provide the firearm serial number and manufacturer, plus an exact
count of ammunition. Though you are allowed to have a firearm on your
vessel, you cannot take it off the vessel unless you obtain a permit
from the Bahamian police ahead of time. Weapons must be under lock
and key at all times. Any infraction of this law is dealt with severely.
*
Entry Fees:
Vessels up to 35 feet: $150.00*
Valid for two entries during a 90-day period.
Vessels over 35 feet: $300.00*
Valid for two entries during a 90-day period.
*Listed entry fees apply to vessels with four persons or less. The
fee covers a cruising permit, a fishing permit, Customs and
Immigration charges, and the $15.00 per person departure tax for up
to four persons. Each additional person above four will be charged a
$15.00 departure tax. If you plan to stay longer than 12 months,
special arrangements must be made with Bahamas Customs and
Immigration. Regular hours for Bahamas Customs and Immigration
Officers are 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Officers are on-call
during holidays and weekends. There is no overtime charge.
