BAHAMAS: Grand opening marks completion of Hurricane Hole

Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina on Paradise Island held a grand opening event on 25^th November to mark the completion of its redesign and renovation. Local dignitaries and hundreds of other guests attended.

In his speech to commemorate the opening of the marina, Prime Minister Philip Davis hailed the development for elevating the tourism product of Paradise Island. “The Bahamas has long been the premier vacation and luxury destination in the Caribbean, and I dare say the western hemisphere. The Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina and the Residences at Paradise Island are fitting and welcome additions to the continued development of The Bahamas’ world-renowned tourism product,” Davis said.

David Kosoy, executive chairman and founder of Sterling Global Financial, the marina owner, said Hurricane Hole’s cutting-edge design makes it the most technologically advanced marina in the country, with amenities including in-slip fuelling – a first for The Bahamas – as well as concrete floating docks, 24-hour security, Wi-Fi and direct fibre internet access needed by superyachts. The marina also adopts the best environmental practices with regard to waste management, air quality control and biodiversity management.

Hurricane Hole has many new features open to the public but more are on the horizon. Three restaurants are set to open soon that will provide a mix of fine dining and oceanfront casual options. In addition, a gourmet grocery store is opening in early 2023, as is a pharmacy, clinic, wellness centre and beauty salon.
