Marinas in The Bahamas: How to Choose the Right Place

March 22, 2023 | Hurricane Hole | Marina in Nassau

Why Hurricane Hole is the Country’s Best Place for Yachts

When it’s time to plan a yachting itinerary, a lingering question beyond meal plans, onboard amenities, and guest lists comes up — where to dock. It becomes a more complicated issue with larger vessels that require deeper water and more space. Luckily, the search for the best marinas in The Bahamas is easy now that Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina is bigger and better than ever.

Where is Hurricane Hole, Superyacht Marina?

Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina is in a prime spot for a convenient place to call home while in The Bahamas. This marina on the south side of Paradise Island is just a five-minute walk from the world-famous Atlantis Resort & Casino or a short golf cart ride to the Ocean Club Beach Club and Golf Course.

A short distance by water — spanned by a bridge to make it easy for driving — is all that separates the nearby New Providence, a larger island that includes Nassau, the capital and population center of The Bahamas.

Nassau offers, even more, to do just minutes away from Hurricane Hole, including pristine beaches, upscale restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions galore.

But Hurricane Hole has another secret up its sleeve: the residential and commercial development called Paradise Landing that surrounds Hurricane Hole. Already, Paradise Landing includes convenient options right by the marina like a dockside bar and grill, a pharmacy, a large wine, and spirits store that offers dockside delivery, and a wellness center.

Much more is coming soon, including three new restaurants, a gourmet grocery store, a lounge for yacht captains and crews, and a gym for yacht crew members.

Ultimate Convenience: First-in-The-Bahamas In-Slip Fueling

Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina became even bigger and better than ever as a world-class redesign and expansion wrapped up in late 2022, and the extensive work added another unique and convenient amenity to the facility: in-slip fueling.

In a first for The Bahamas, Hurricane Hole became the country’s only marina that can offer in-berth fueling for yachts and boats of all sizes. It’s all possible thanks to a new infrastructure system added during the redesign that installed a 2-inch line, connected to 10 sump boxes, that act as fuel points for distribution around the marina’s perimeter. Because of this state-of-the-art design, transport trucks can now fill the fuel line at a centralized pump and filter station, which then can distribute fuel to the desired location.

It all adds up to a new convenience for yacht captains — instead of having to monitor the delivery of fuel for several hours or waiting behind other boats for their turn, yachts that stay at Hurricane Hole can be refueled right where they are.

It’s not something that can be offered at any other marinas in The Bahamas, and it’s just one more reason why Hurricane Hole has become known as the best place to dock in the entire country.

7 Amenities for Yacht Captains and Crew Members at Hurricane Hole

Technologically impressive features at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina aren’t limited to the refueling system.
