The Association of Bahamas Marinas, on behalf of its participating members, are in full support mode of the northern islands of The Bahamas. As are all the Bahamian people, we are grateful for the outpouring of support and we will be there for our fellow marinas for as long as it takes to rebuild and come back better than before.
The Bahamas is an archipelago of over 700 islands spread out over 100,000 square miles of ocean and only a small portion of the country was impacted by Hurricane Dorian.
The single most important thing that the boating and yachting community can do for The Bahamas and its people, is to come visit. Tourism makes up almost 70% of our nation’s GDP. This revenue not only supports all the Bahamian people, it will be a driving force behind the rebuilding of the hurricane damaged islands of the Abacos and Grand Bahama.
Many, if not all, of the residents of these two islands, may have to relocate to other islands within The Bahamas for a while. They too will most likely be supported by the tourism industry, as this is where the bulk of our jobs lie.
We welcome all of our past, current and future guests to start making your plans for this upcoming boating and yachting season. From Long Island to Exuma to Eleuthera to Bimini, the Bahamian people welcome you with open arms.
Here is the list of marinas that are open and waiting for your arrival.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protects employees from being fired just for taking leave, but it does not guarantee absolute job security. Employers can legally terminate employees for valid business reasons—such as layoffs or policy violations—as long as the decision is unrelated to FMLA leave. If you suspect your termination was unfair or retaliatory, an employment lawyer can help you fight back. Learn more: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/can-you-be-fired-while-on-fmla.
With Bahamas marinas open for business, the tourism and maritime industries have a great opportunity to strengthen their brand presence. As more businesses cater to international travelers, securing a name or logo through a trademark marketplace like agent.biz ensures exclusive rights and legal protection. In such a competitive market, a strong trademark helps marinas, yacht services, and hospitality providers stand out while preventing unauthorized use of their brand identity. Using a trademark marketplace simplifies the process of registering and managing trademarks, allowing businesses to focus on delivering top-tier services. Whether launching a new marina or expanding an existing brand, a trademark exchange provides the legal security needed to build long-term recognition and trust among customers.
It's fantastic to hear that Bahamas marinas are open for business, offering stunning destinations for travelers! For marina operators, using IT inventory software can be a game-changer in managing dock equipment, maintenance supplies, and other assets. It ensures everything is well-organized, helping them provide a seamless experience for visitors.
