Frequently Asked Questions
Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina's fuel dock is located between the two Paradise Island bridges, positioned at the entrance to the marina approach from Nassau Harbour. The fuel dock is accessible to all vessels, whether docked at the marina or transiting through the harbour, and does not require a marina reservation to use. The dock is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the team monitors VHF channels 16 and 11 so vessels can contact them before arrival. The location between the bridges makes it a natural and convenient refueling stop for any vessel navigating Nassau Harbour.
The Hurricane Hole fuel dock stocks both diesel and gasoline, covering the full range of vessel fuel requirements from outboard-powered sport boats to large diesel-powered superyachts. There is no minimum fuel purchase requirement, making the dock convenient for smaller vessels topping off as well as large vessels taking on full tanks. The dock's team ensures correct fuel grade delivery and conducts the fueling process according to established safety protocols. The availability of both fuel types at a single convenient location between the Paradise Island bridges makes it a practical stop for mixed fleets and charter groups.
In-slip fueling delivers diesel directly to a vessel's berth within the marina, with a mobile fueling line running to the slip without the vessel needing to move. The fuel dock is a fixed station between the Paradise Island bridges where vessels pull alongside to refuel. In-slip fueling is available exclusively to vessels staying at Hurricane Hole for one night or more and is arranged by emailing slips@hurricaneholemarina.com. The fuel dock is open to all vessels including transients and passers-through with no reservation required. The two options serve different operational needs, with in-slip fueling providing maximum convenience for large vessels committed to an overnight stay.
The Hurricane Hole fuel dock team monitors VHF channel 16 (the international calling and distress channel) and VHF channel 11 during operating hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Vessels approaching the fuel dock should hail on channel 16 to establish contact and receive docking guidance. For arrival outside of fuel dock hours, vessels should contact the main marina on VHF 16 or call 242-603-1950 for assistance. Nassau Harbour Control is also reached on VHF channel 16 and should be contacted before entering the harbour as required by Bahamian regulations.
Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina offers competitive fuel pricing with a stated commitment to providing quality fuel at economical rates without compromising the grade or purity of the product. Current fuel prices are subject to market conditions and can be confirmed by contacting the dock directly on VHF channels 16 or 11, or by calling the marina at 242-603-1950. There is no minimum purchase requirement and no premium surcharge for small quantities, making pricing equitable for vessels of all sizes. The dock's central location between the Paradise Island bridges and its open-access policy have made it a popular fuel source throughout the Nassau yachting community.
Fueling safety protocols at the Hurricane Hole fuel dock follow established marine industry standards. Before fuel flow begins, engines should be shut off, flames and smoking sources should be eliminated, hatches over fuel tanks should be closed to prevent vapor accumulation, and a spill kit should be accessible. The dock's trained fueling team supervises the connection and monitors flow throughout the process. Vessels should ensure their fuel fill caps are correctly identified (fuel vs. water) before opening them to the fuel hose. After fueling, the vessel should be ventilated before restarting engines. The dock team is trained to advise on any specific fueling requirements for unusual vessel configurations.
Sailboats can use the Hurricane Hole fuel dock for diesel purchases, though the 70-foot bridge clearance at the Paradise Island bridges restricts masted vessels with air drafts exceeding this figure from entering Nassau Harbour from the western approach. Sailboats with air drafts under 70 feet can navigate through the harbour and use the fuel dock. Vessels exceeding the bridge clearance must approach from the eastern side of Nassau Harbour, which bypasses the bridges but adds distance to the approach. Captains of sailing vessels should confirm their air draft against the 70-foot bridge specification before planning to enter Nassau Harbour from the west.
Vessels approaching Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina and its fuel dock from the west should navigate to N 25 04.700, W 077 19.180, which positions the vessel off the western entrance to Nassau Harbour at the start of the standard approach. From this waypoint, the approach passes between the white lighthouse at the western tip of Paradise Island to port and the Silver Cay breakwater to starboard. Captains must contact Nassau Harbour Control on VHF channel 16 before entering the harbour. After passing under both bridges, the marina and fuel dock are immediately to port.
Fuel capacity on superyachts varies enormously by vessel size and design. A 100-foot motor yacht might carry 3,000 to 5,000 gallons, while a 200-foot-plus superyacht might carry 30,000 to 100,000 gallons or more. A typical refueling stop in Nassau might top off anywhere from a few hundred gallons for a smaller vessel completing a short passage to many tens of thousands of gallons for a large vessel conducting a full fill before an extended offshore passage. The Hurricane Hole fuel dock can accommodate vessels requiring large fuel volumes, and in-slip fueling for overnight marina guests eliminates any constraint of the fuel dock's physical access limitations for very large vessels.
The Hurricane Hole fuel dock is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., including weekends. Holiday operation hours should be confirmed directly with the marina at 242-603-1950 or on VHF channels 16 or 11, as hours may vary during major Bahamian public holidays. The marina team is always available by phone and VHF even outside fuel dock hours for vessels requiring assistance or after-hours fueling coordination. For large vessels requiring significant fuel volumes, advance notice allows the dock team to prepare for the fueling operation and minimize wait time on arrival.
