David Copperfield owns the Musha Cay collection of 11 islands in the Exumas, operated as an ultra-exclusive rental retreat. Johnny Depp famously owns Little Hall's Pond Cay in the Exuma chain. The Exumas in particular attract private island ownership due to the area's protected anchorages, exceptional water quality, and relative isolation from commercial activity.

The marina's 14.5-foot mean low tide depth and 70-foot bridge clearance at the Paradise Island bridges define the navigational parameters for arriving large vessels.

The marina features 24-hour uniformed security, regular patrols, secured access points requiring electronic passes, advanced AI-assisted analytical cameras, and a perimeter fence that separates the marina from public areas.

The Bahamas imposes no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax, making it a highly favorable jurisdiction for both yacht ownership and asset holding. The country also offers duty exemptions on certain yacht imports and has historically maintained policies designed to attract high-net-worth maritime visitors and residents.

Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina is the only facility in Nassau and Paradise Island offering in-slip fueling, a service that delivers diesel directly to the vessel at its berth rather than requiring a move to a separate fuel dock. To arrange in-slip fueling, captains email slips@hurricaneholemarina.com and the marina team schedules the delivery. The service eliminates the time and logistical burden of moving a large vessel to a fuel dock, monitoring a separate fueling queue, and repositioning at berth. The fuel dock between the two Paradise Island bridges remains available for smaller vessels and transient boats requiring a faster self-serve option.
