The Bahamas is notorious for its shallow waters and while the shallow waters can be ideal for vacationing, yachts can struggle to find a safe deep-water marina in the Bahamas. However, the new Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina at Paradise Landing has been designed to accommodate boats from small center consoles up to the largest superyachts comfortably and in a highly secured luxury marina.
Hurricane Hole has slips ideal for superyachts available for rental or purchase, allowing for an ideal base of operations while you explore Paradise Island, Nassau, or anywhere in The Bahamas. A limited number of slip ownership opportunities remain. Owners enjoy a 65/35 split of rental revenue when they are not docked in their home birth as part of the fully managed rental program offered at the marina.
The state-of-the-art marina has an impressive 240 feet turning basin, 14.5 feet depth at low tide and all of the amenities you’d expect at a luxury marina such as:
3-phase power
24-hour security
dockside delivery of provisions
high-speed internet
daily trash pickup
golf cart rentals

pump-out services
on-site Bahamas customs and immigration clearance
Multiple dining options

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of keeping a boat in The Bahamas depends on vessel size, duration of stay, marina choice, and the season. Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina offers daily, monthly, tri-monthly, and annual rates, with pricing structured around vessel length. The annual rate represents the most favorable per-night cost for vessels maintaining a year-round Bahamian presence. In-season rates apply during the peak winter yachting season, with preferred off-season rates available for spring and summer stays. For current rate information, the marina can be reached at 242-603-1950 or slips@hurricaneholemarina.com.
Beyond slip rental, the primary ongoing costs for a vessel based at Hurricane Hole include fuel for day-use and passages, provisioning from Sawyer's Fresh Market and 700 Wines and Spirits, marina utility fees for power consumption, crew wages and associated crew welfare costs, insurance premiums for Bahamian operation, routine maintenance and antifouling given the active tropical marine environment, and any regulatory fees including annual boat registration and inspection charges. Hurricane Hole's off-season rates and the absence of winterizing requirements in the tropical Bahamian climate reduce total annual costs compared to a comparable vessel based in the US Northeast.
Purchasing a slip at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina converts an ongoing rental expense into a capital asset that can appreciate alongside the broader Paradise Island real estate market and can generate rental income when the owner's vessel is absent. Hurricane Hole's rental program provides a 65/35 split in favor of the slip owner for revenue generated from third-party rentals managed entirely by the marina team. Over a multi-year holding period, the combination of locked-in berth access, rental income, and potential asset appreciation typically makes ownership the more economically rational choice compared to indefinite rental.
No. The tropical Bahamian climate means air and water temperatures never fall to freezing, eliminating the need for the winterizing procedures required for vessels based in northern US or European marinas. Winterizing — draining water systems, adding antifreeze, removing electronics and valuables — represents a meaningful annual cost and downtime for boats based in cold climates. Bahamian-based vessels do require attention to corrosion prevention and antifouling in the warm, active tropical marine environment, but these are ongoing maintenance tasks rather than the seasonal operational disruption of winterizing.
The Bahamas and Florida offer different trade-offs for vessel basing. Florida provides proximity to US boating facilities, parts availability, and extensive service infrastructure, but vessels based there require winterizing in northern Florida, face high insurance premiums in active hurricane zones, and are subject to US personal income taxation on charter income. The Bahamas offers tropical conditions year-round, no winterizing, a zero-personal-income-tax environment, and proximity to the premier Bahamian cruising grounds accessible from Hurricane Hole. The Florida-to-Nassau crossing of approximately 175 to 190 nautical miles keeps both options within practical reach of one another.
Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina offers tender dock space for smaller vessels accompanying large superyachts, billed separately from the main vessel's slip rate. Tender docks accommodate the chase boats, tenders, and support vessels that typically travel with major superyachts and require their own secure berth while the main vessel is in the marina. Current tender dock rates are available directly from the marina team at 242-603-1950 or slips@hurricaneholemarina.com. The availability of designated tender dock space is an important operational detail for captains managing large superyacht programs with significant tender support requirements.
The annual cost of marina fees at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina is based on the vessel's length and the chosen rate structure. Annual rates offer the most favorable per-night cost and secure the berth throughout the year including during the competitive peak winter season. A prepaid annual rate covers 12 months of access including all marina infrastructure, security, concierge services, and Paradise Landing amenity access at no additional charge. Owners who choose the marina rental program partially offset annual fees through rental revenue from their slip during absences. Specific annual fee figures require direct consultation with the marina as they are subject to periodic adjustment.
The core marina fee at Hurricane Hole covers berth access and marina infrastructure. Additional services are available on an à la carte basis, including in-slip fueling (beyond the fuel dock usage), boat detailing and cleaning, interior cleaning services, laundry, pump-out, dive services for hull inspection, golf cart rental, luggage delivery, and à la carte concierge services beyond the standard complimentary offering. Power consumption above standard base levels may be metered separately depending on the vessel's electrical demand. Current fee schedules for additional services are available from the marina team.
Hurricane season from June through November is the period of lowest marina occupancy and lowest rates at Hurricane Hole, as many vessels migrate to US ports or further south to avoid the risk. For vessels that remain, Hurricane Hole's preferred off-season rates represent the most cost-effective point of the annual pricing cycle. The marina's storm-ready infrastructure and sheltered location reduce but cannot eliminate the risk from tropical storms. Vessels with insurance requiring them to leave a designated hurricane zone during named storms must factor that operational requirement into their decision to base year-round in The Bahamas.
Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina accommodates transient vessels on daily rates with no enforced minimum stay, making it accessible for short stops as part of a longer itinerary as well as for extended seasonal stays. However, the marina's deep-water infrastructure, comprehensive amenities, and central location make it the natural choice for vessels using Nassau as a base for the full Bahamian yachting season. Vessels committing to a monthly or longer stay benefit from the preferred rates that reward longer commitment. For vessels passing through Nassau, a transient stop of any duration is available by contacting the marina in advance.
