2. The Project:
Legacy Marina and Resort - a
marina and fishing lodge/resort
development project located in the
serene southern end of Long
Island, Bahamas. The Marina will
have a minimum of 18 slips and
the fishing lodge will consist of 12
suites (in 2 accommodation types)
in the first phase of the project.
3. The Location:
Legacy Marina is situated
advantageously on the western
side of Long Island, also referred
to as the south side of the island.
The location is within Ford's
Channel, a natural channel with a
small public dock, where local
islanders currently anchor their
boats.
4. The Need:
Currently, the closest fuel-based docking
facilities (Clarence Town) are over 22
nautical miles away from the southern end
of the island. This particular marina is
located on the eastern or north side of the
island. The next closest, Salt Pond
Marina, is approximately 47 nautical miles
to Ford’s Channel. Legacy Marina would
be one of the first marinas when entering
the Bahamas from the south and one of
the last when leaving the Bahamas.
5. The Features:
This Marina will provide all of the
essentials to allow boaters,
fisherman and cruisers every benefit
and luxury needed to experience a
quaint “down-home” feeling while
on “island time”. The fishing lodge
will provide superb amenities to all
guests who visit for both short-term
and extended stays to the island.
