Spirit has a special from FLL to Bahamas for $46 but from Bahamas to San Juan it'll run $300+!! Any reasonably priced boat trips from Bahamas to San Juan? What days does Spirit put out their sales?

In advance, thank you for all your help!

Why fly Bahamas to San Juan (SJU) when a direct from FLL to SJU is only $262 for your dates?

SJU is rarely a cheap ticket and seeing as you are going during a high season, I would pretty much forget about any SJU fare approaching $46 for the Bahamas.

Nassau is 700+ miles away from Bahamas, doubt there are regular tourist ship lines.
