Preorder it for Celebration Key.

We are opening at Celebration Key on Grand Bahama. Order before your ship arrives, and your bag will be packed under your name and waiting on a marked van as you walk out of the passenger exit. Ordering is not open yet — find your sailing and we will tell you the day it is. Everything we list is stock a Freeport supplier has already proven it holds.

01How it works

Three steps.
No app. No queue.

I.

Pick your ship and day

Open the link from your ship or scan the QR, and tell us which ship you are arriving on. Everything after that — what is in stock, the price, the cutoff — belongs to that one port call.

II.

Pay before the cutoff

Fixed prices, paid online. No quotes, no haggling, nothing to settle at the van. Orders for a service day close two hours before that day's first scheduled arrival, so there is time to pack the van properly.

Collect on your way out

Your bag is packed under your name and loaded on a marked ConchPass van, parked with permission on the public road outside the passenger exit. Show your code, scan, and go.

You came here to enjoy a day on Grand Bahama. Not to spend it hunting for a phone charger. We pack it before you arrive, put your name on it, and hand it to you on the way out. One bag. No detour.

04Privacy, on purpose

Most apps disclose privacy.
We engineered it.

Six things we built into the product before we built anything else. They're not in the fine print. They're not a toggle. They're how ConchPass works, by default, for everyone.

01/ how we built it

Photos arrive clean

Phones embed GPS coordinates inside every photo. We strip that metadata server-side the second you hit upload. Your location stays with you.

EXIF removal · server-side · always on
02/ how we built it

Faces, gracefully blurred

If a face appears in your photo, we blur it by default. You choose to show your face — we never assume you do. Same for everyone else in frame.

AI face detection · opt-in to reveal
03/ how we built it

Posts wait two days

Every post goes live 48 hours after you upload. By then you're back on the ship — or home. Nothing about your post is real-time.

Scheduled publication · per-post timer
04/ how we built it

Sarah from Illinois. Not Sarah Henderson from Springfield.

First name, state. That's it. We never publish your last name, city, ship, or exact date. The story stays. The trail doesn't.

Identity redaction · enforced at display
05/ how we built it

Looks under 25? Blurred.

If our model reads a face as under 25, we blur it. To unblur, the uploader signs an explicit release at upload, confirming no minors are visible. Liability sits with them, not us.

Auto-detect · release-gated reveal
06/ how we built it

Receipts retire after 90 days

We hold dispute photos for 90 days, then we delete them. We route orders and hold receipts as evidence. We are not a custodian of your record.

Honest answers

Forgot something?
Here is how it works.

Straight answers about pickup, payment, ships running late, and what you can order. Read the one that matters to you.

QDo I need to download an app?+

No. Open the link from your ship or scan the QR. The order page loads in your phone's browser. That is it.

QDo I need to create an account?+

No. Pick your ship, choose what you need, and leave a name and a way to reach you on port day. That is the whole signup.

QWhat can I order?+

The things people most often leave plugged into a stateroom wall: charging cables, wall chargers, memory cards and flash drives, and headphones. The catalog only ever lists stock a Freeport supplier has already proven it holds, so what you see on your ship's page is what is really there. Celebration Key sells over-the-counter medication and personal-care items on site, and we do not try to compete with that.

QWhere do I pick up?+

At a marked ConchPass van parked with permission on the public road outside the Celebration Key passenger exit, on Grand Bahama. You get the route and the walk in your confirmation. We do not publish a walking time we have not measured ourselves, so if you do not see one yet, that is why.

QWhen does ordering close?+

Two hours before the first scheduled ship arrival for that day. Your bag is packed and on the van before you dock, which is why there is a cutoff rather than a wait.

QWhat if my ship is delayed or does not call?+

A delay changes nothing: the van holds your bag under your name for the whole port window. If the call is cancelled or diverted, you have not received your goods, so you get your money back.

QHow do I pay?+

Right in your browser when you place the order. Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, at a fixed price with no quote step. Nothing is collected at the van, and nobody there handles your card.

QI forgot to preorder. Can I still buy at the van?+

Not during the pilot. The van carries the bags that were paid for before the cutoff and nothing else, so there is no spare stock to sell on the spot. Order before the cutoff and it will be there.

QWhat ports are supported?+

Celebration Key on Grand Bahama. That is the whole pilot. Nassau and other Caribbean ports come after this one works, because we would rather run one port properly than five badly.

The route

Grand Bahama first.
More islands after.

One port at a time. Every new one gets its own people on the ground, its own quality bar, its own answers to disputes. We would rather move slow and right than fast and broken — which is why the pilot is a single van at a single exit.

On the beach with friends

Born here.
Built for here.

Originally from Little Farmer's Cay, Exuma. I grew up between Nassau and Freeport, walking these streets as a kid. My family owns Cole-Thompson Pharmacy on Bay Street. Thirty years in Bahamian retail, and I know these merchants personally. I know what's real and what's not. I know who actually carved that turtle. I know who buys their straw bags wholesale from Honduras and resells them as island-made.

ConchPass is built so the real ones get seen. The first island rep is family. Someone whose name I trust with the brand because it's also their name. That's the trust layer we have built.
