Habacoa: Premier Bahamas yacht charter marina set to open in 2027

By Anna Ingles   6 June 2024

In a groundbreaking announcement for future Bahamas and Abacos Islands yacht charters, plans for the new Habacoa Superyacht Marina in South Abaco have been revealed, poised to become 'North America's largest and most comprehensive marina to date' and redefine luxury marina experiences in the popular sun-soaked yacht charter destination.

Habacoa Superyacht Marina is set to elevate the traditional marina concept for Bahamas yacht charters by integrating opulent facilities, high-end residences, and a five-star hotel. The marina will feature 150 slips, accommodating visiting super yacht charters ranging from 18 meters to over 200 meters, with the grand opening currently scheduled for 2027.

Esteemed marina engineers Moffatt & Nichol are at the helm of this ambitious project, ensuring the marina's resilience against storms with a 110-acre basin located on the leeward side of the island and a substantial breakwater adding extra protection for superyachts and visiting crewed yacht charters.

In addition to the slips welcoming the motor and sailing yacht charters, the revolutionary marina will also house a 25,000 sqft members-only yacht club, nightclub, and casino, all designed by the iconic Zaha Hadid Architects. Known for their signature curved and waved aesthetics, these buildings will be crafted using eco-friendly materials.

Charter guests and residents will also enjoy a plethora of indulgent amenities, including a luxurious spa, wellness, and fitness center, and a range of adrenaline-fueled activities, perfect for charter guests who enjoy the thrills of a watersports yacht charter. Crew members will benefit from an upscale dedicated crew club.

Strategically located near two international airports, the Habacoa Superyacht Marina offers convenient access by both sea and air for charter guests arriving from Florida. Just 185 miles east of Fort Lauderdale, home to the globally renowned Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the marina is a mere 20-minute private jet journey from Miami.

Surrounded by 20,000 acres of Abaco National Park, the marina will boast state-of-the-art facilities for the largest motor yacht charters, ultra-luxury residences, world-class dining, shopping, live entertainment, recreational water sports, and beach experiences.
