The wait is almost over for an exciting new addition to The Bahamas: A large Paradise Island grocery store, conveniently located near Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina.
Once open in the coming months, Sawyer’s Fresh Market will be the first large grocery store on Paradise Island, concluding two years of work to bring this convenient and much-needed new amenity right to the island.
Guests at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina can look forward to free dockside grocery delivery, while anyone on the island — residents or visitors alike — will have a new option to order delivery of groceries from Sawyer’s website or mobile app. This convenient and fresh new feature of island living will make it possible to get the best, freshest food on Paradise Island whenever and wherever it is needed.
Another Premium Offering for Paradise Island
When construction started in the summer of 2022, Sawyer’s Fresh Market’s Chief Financial Officer, Learline Moss, explained just how this store would be much more than a supermarket.
“The vision is to provide a high-end food store, and we are up to that challenge,” she said.
Once opened, shoppers can expect to find everything they need and expect — and so much more. Products include a full-service meat and seafood case, the freshest produce on the island, and a deli with delicious sandwiches, rotisserie chicken, and a coffee bar. Look for plenty of organic and locally-grown produce options, too.
The Sawyer’s name isn’t new to The Bahamas, where it currently operates two retail stores in Freeport, Grand Bahama. But it is a new member of the Paradise Island community, and the team at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina looks forward to celebrating the opening of this exciting new option on the island in the near future.
How the Paradise Island Grocery Store Will Complement Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina
It’s the latest development from Sterling Global Financial Limited, which has worked to completely revitalize and transform Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina into the world-class marina it is today while also bringing new Bahamas restaurants, businesses, and medical clinics to the surrounding area on Paradise Island.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sawyer's Fresh Market at Paradise Landing is the first and currently the only full-service grocery store on Paradise Island. The 8,000-square-foot store opened as part of the ongoing Paradise Landing development by Sterling Global Financial Limited and addressed one of the most consistently cited quality-of-life deficiencies on the island. Prior to Sawyer's opening, there was no comprehensive grocery option on Paradise Island, requiring residents, employees, and visiting guests to cross to Nassau for any meaningful grocery shopping. Sawyer's operates as both a premium local grocery and a specialist provisioning resource for Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina's vessel guests.
Sawyer's Fresh Market at Paradise Landing includes a fresh produce section, Flint's Butchers Block premium meat and seafood counter offering custom cuts and specialty proteins, a full-service deli with prepared items, a rotisserie section, a coffee bar, standard packaged grocery products across all major categories, organic and specialty food options, and a selection of beverages including non-alcoholic drinks and grocery staples. The breadth of the store makes it suitable for both complete provisioning of large vessels and everyday grocery shopping for island residents. The coffee bar and prepared food sections also serve the working population of Paradise Landing as a quick-service daytime dining option.
Provisioning delivery from Sawyer's Fresh Market to berthed vessels at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina is arranged through the Sawyer's website or mobile app, where captains can browse the full inventory, select items, and schedule delivery to the dock. Dockside delivery to the berth is provided free of charge for marina guests. The marina concierge team can also coordinate provisioning orders for captains who prefer to delegate the logistics, acting as an intermediary with Sawyer's to ensure delivery timing aligns with the vessel's schedule. For large or complex orders including specialty items, advance communication of 24 to 48 hours allows the store to confirm availability and prepare the order.
Sawyer's Fresh Market maintains fresh seafood through its counter and the Flint's Butchers Block section, including locally caught Bahamian species when available, imported seafood, and lobster during the open season from August through March. Fresh produce includes Bahamian-grown vegetables and fruits when in season alongside imported options for year-round availability of popular produce categories. The store's emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients as part of its brand positioning means it actively sources from Bahamian suppliers where availability allows. For yacht chefs seeking specific local ingredients, advance communication with the store's buying team allows them to source items not currently in regular stock.
Sawyer's Fresh Market at Paradise Landing is positioned as a premium grocery brand, with quality and product selection comparable to or exceeding the best Nassau supermarkets including John Watling's and Super Value for fresh and specialty items. The convenience advantage for Paradise Island residents and marina guests is substantial, as Nassau's grocery options require a bridge crossing and often a vehicle, adding 30 to 60 minutes of round-trip logistics to any grocery run. For large yachts requiring provisioning at scale, the dockside delivery service at Sawyer's also eliminates the need to organize land transport for heavy or bulk provisioning orders.
Operating hours for Sawyer's Fresh Market can be confirmed directly with the store or through the Hurricane Hole concierge team, as they may vary by day or season. For vessels requiring provisioning outside standard store hours or with very specific delivery timing requirements, advance communication with the store or the marina's concierge team allows coordination of delivery windows that accommodate the vessel's operational schedule. Marina guests arriving outside standard hours can contact the marina team at 242-603-1950 for current store operation information and after-hours provisioning options.
Sawyer's Fresh Market can accommodate specialty provisioning requests for organic produce, specific dietary-requirement items, premium imported proteins, specialty cheeses and charcuterie, and seasonal specialty items. For exotic or highly specific requests that are not part of the store's regular inventory, advance notice of 24 to 48 hours allows the buying team to source items through their supplier network. The Flint's Butchers Block counter can accommodate Wagyu beef, specific aged cuts, game proteins, and other premium meat requests with appropriate advance notice. For yacht chefs with complex menus, early provisioning communication ensures the best availability of specialty ingredients.
Yes. Sawyer's Fresh Market maintains a prepared food section with grab-and-go sandwiches, wraps, salads, hot items from the rotisserie, and other ready-to-eat options suitable for a quick on-vessel or on-shore meal. The coffee bar also serves as a convenient stop for crew members needing a coffee or light snack during working hours at the marina. The grab-and-go selection is designed to complement both the full provisioning service and the broader Paradise Landing dining options, providing a quick, convenient alternative for crew who do not have time for a sit-down meal during busy turnaround periods.
Sawyer's Fresh Market completes the essential daily life infrastructure at Paradise Landing by providing the grocery services that residents and workers need without crossing to Nassau. Combined with Quality Care Pharmacy for health products, 700 Wines and Spirits for beverages, and the dining options at Carnivale Bahamas and Asian Grill, Paradise Landing now provides a comprehensive suite of daily life services within walking distance of every resident and marina guest. The self-sufficiency of the community means that short-term visitors to Hurricane Hole can spend their entire stay without needing to organize transport to Nassau for any routine daily need.
Flint's Butchers Block is the premium butchery counter within Sawyer's Fresh Market at Paradise Landing. It operates as a specialist meat and seafood service offering a range of premium cuts, custom butchering services, and proteins not routinely available at standard supermarket counters. For yacht chefs and charter operations requiring specific cuts, aged beef, premium seafood, or custom preparation of proteins for elaborate menus, Flint's Butchers Block provides the professional butchery service and product quality appropriate for high-end galley operations. It is a distinctive feature of the Paradise Island Sawyer's location not replicated at the brand's Freeport stores.
