HABACOA, A LUXURY, ECO-CONSCIOUS SUPERYACHT DESTINATION MARINA, IS COMING SOON TO THE BAHAMAS
Owners and crew of superyachts will know only too well the difficulty of visiting marinas due to the lack of large berthing facilities, notably in North America. The Ben-Zur family recognised this predicament having extensively researched the industry, and that’s why they decided to launch Habacoa. Envision a carefully engineered luxury marina in The Bahamas, well protected, offering the region’s deepest entry canal, easy manoeuvrability and berthing, designed to accommodate yachts of all sizes and featuring world-class amenities. Seems too good to be true? Habacoa is scheduled to launch in 2027 as the new go-to destination for superyachts.
Nestled strategically at the south-west point of Great Abaco island in The Bahamas, this visionary project is poised to become a luxury superyacht community for those travelling from the US through to the Caribbean. Positioned just 160 nautical miles east of Fort Lauderdale and 50 nautical miles north of Nassau, Habacoa will serve as a natural stopping point for yachts seeking an unforgettable marina experience.
At 150 berths, the marina will boast an unparalleled number of superyacht-compatible slips, filling a much-needed gap for yacht owners in North America. Habacoa will offer not only world-class marina facilities but also a wealth of amenities that will create a superyacht community and a destination in its own right, from an exclusive yacht club and a sophisticated casino to a vibrant night club, amphitheatre and performance hall.
A visionary marina, Porto Habacoa is poised to redefine the superyacht experience. Boasting top-of-the-range amenities, the marina offers 150 secure berths spanning from 18 to 220 metres. Each berth is thoughtfully configured to accommodate more than one boat, facilitating a total capacity for 441 regular-sized boats or 150 superyachts, or a combination of both. A strategic eight-metre-deep entry canal ensures accessibility, while the provision of a 200-unit drystack facility, a rare offering in the region, adds to the marina’s allure. With a 268-metre turning circle for easy manoeuvring, at-berth fuelling, US-standard potable water and a first-class concierge service at every stage – from reservation to departure – Porto Habacoa offers first-class marina facilities.
