Both countries plan to repatriate those stopped amid deepening economic and political crises in Haiti.
Authorities from the Bahamas and Cuba have said they stopped hundreds of Haitians attempting to reach the United States by sea.
The Royal Bahamas Defence Force said on Thursday it had deployed patrol vessels to the southeast Bahamas to defend against what it described as a “migrant surge” from Haiti.
Those vessels had intercepted more than 1,000 Haitians over the past 10 days, it added.
