Don't know if it's correct, but when I was there a few years ago every boat was flying the red flag with the National flag in the top left corner. 
I've got mine on the wall of my den.

Subject: Stus-List Etiquette question - Bahamas Courtesy Flag

This is C&C related because I'm going to the Bahamas this fall and am in
ptocess of outfitting the boat. When checking out my signal flags the other
day, it occurred to me that I don't have a courtesy flag for the Bahamas.
When I went on line to look for one, I see both the Bahamas official
national flag and what I've identified as a Bahamas commercial ensign (the
national flag in the upper left quadrant of a red flag with a white cross).

The commercial ensign is what appears most often for a "courtesy flag".

In my understanding, proper etiquette is to fly the national ensign as a
courtesy flag. Are the Bahamas a special case? And am I correct if I fly the
national flag instead of the "courtesy flag", or is the commercial ensign
the proper one to fly?
