Explorer charts are the gold standard for all of the Bahamas. Since more people own Garmin and Raymarine plotters than anything else, it is a shame that Raymarine left its' previous chartplotter buyers high and dry when they switched to Navionics and abandoned CMap which has the Explorer charts as their base. Fortunately the Garmin Bluecharts also feature Bahamas data from Explorer Chartbooks as well. There ARE no other reliable maps, paper or electronic, for the Bahamas as far as I am concerned s the Lewis' work is accurate and up to date and does not rely on decades old data.
