Why Yacht Captains and Crews Choose Hurricane Hole as the Best Marina in The Bahamas
Yacht captains and crew members know better than perhaps anyone else just how much goes into making a marina more than a basic facility — and those details, beginning with infrastructure and ending with a vision for how things should operate, can add up to greatness in the right hands. This is the case with Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina, a world-class marina that’s proud to be recognized as a top contender for the title of the best marina in The Bahamas. But what is it that sets Hurricane Hole apart? A focus on the big and little things that matter, especially to captains and crews who are responsible for the latest and greatest vessels on the water. Let’s explore what makes this a truly outstanding option in The Bahamas, right in the heart of Paradise Island.
The Right Size
Numbers can’t tell the full story of Hurricane Hole, but they can help illustrate how unique this marina truly is. Let’s start with its ability to accommodate even the biggest yachts and superyachts, thanks to slips up to 420 feet, a total of 6,100 linear feet of deep-water docks — including floating Bellingham concrete docks that rise and fall with the tides. The marina’s 240-foot-wide turning basin and bridge clearance of 70 feet are also vital parts of making it easy for large vessels to get around.
The Best Infrastructure
As part of a complete renovation and expansion project, Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina modernized and upgraded just about every part of the marina experience, beginning with its infrastructure. This includes things like high-speed Wi-Fi and ship-to-shore fiber connectivity, as well as the latest in security features. Electrical points are available every 50 feet, with 50 amps to 400 amps amperage range at each point.
Hurricane Hole is the only marina in Nassau/Paradise Island to have floating concrete docks. Stretching almost half a mile along the marina’s promenade, the 10′ x10′ deep-water floating docks, custom manufactured by Bellingham Marine, are designed and built to handle tidal changes and provide optimal flexibility for superyachts, sportfishing boats and smaller craft by adjusting to water levels.
But let’s not forget about another major perk: Hurricane Hole is the first and only marina in Nassau to offer in-slip fueling. For vessels staying one night or more at the marina, there’s no longer a need to maneuver your yacht to a separate fuel dock or wait for your turn to refuel. Instead, you can refuel right where your yacht is moored — and it’s hard to beat that kind of convenience. To get in-slip fueling, you just need to give us at least 48 hours’ notice and get a minimum of 1,500 gallons (diesel only).
Hurricane Hole is also a top choice for fuel docks close to Nassau Harbour, with our dock open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily to the public, located between the two bridges.
Extra Amenities Just for Yacht Captains and Crews
Beyond the infrastructure and cutting-edge features of Hurricane Hole are extra amenities specifically for the people who operate the yachts and superyachts that choose to dock here.
Take, for example, the Captain’s Lounge and Crew Gym that opened in the summer of 2023. This two-story dockside facility offers a place for captains to get away and relax on the upper floor, which boasts beautiful views and comfortable lounge furniture on a glass-railed deck. On the main floor, captains and crews can exercise in a state-of-the-art gym facility.
This facility is close to other unexpected perks of choosing to stay at Hurricane Hole, such as a pool, dockside bar and grill, and barbecue facilities, not to mention a pharmacy, wellness center, and wine and spirits shop, all in the Paradise Landing upscale community that surrounds the marina. In the near future, this burgeoning community will also gain a gourmet grocery store, medical clinic, and the massive new Carnivale Bahamas restaurant that will offer a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces for dining, events, and entertainment.
