Sail into the Heart of Bahamian Paradise

DIVE INTO A WORLD OF LUXURY AND SECLUSION:

Enjoy world class dining & shopping, live entertainment offerings, recreational water sports and beach experiences, bounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Bahamian seas.

Habacoa: The Gateway to the Caribbean

Located at the southern tip of the Abaco Islands, Bahamas, Habacoa will offer easy accessibility by air and sea.

  • By Air : Easy air accessibility, with a quick 30-minute flight from Miami and a 2-hour flight from New York.
  • By Sea : Located on the main nautical route from the East Coast of the United States to the Bahamas, Caribbean, and South Atlantic.
  • By Sport : From deep sea fishing in the abundance of the Great Bahama Canyon, bone fishing at the world-famous Abaco Marls, or plentiful fishing in the Berry Islands, it’s all a short sail away.

Status & Scope

Significant progress made over the past six years minimizes major project risks:

  • Full Entitlement
  • Environmental Approvals Granted
  • Land Acquisition
  • Prestigious Superyacht Agreement

Sustainability

Habacoa is designed with great care and responsibility to the pristine environment of South Abaco, while providing significant improvements to the infrastructure, and employment opportunities for the local community.

  • Low Density: Habacoa will become one of the lowest-density communities in the Bahamas, with a mere 329 keys built across 506 sprawling acers. The low-density development will minimize the effects on the environment, protect open spaces, and preserve the original character of the land.
  • Site Selection: Cliffs as high as 100 feet provide awe-inspiring vistas while ensuring the project will be protected from rising sea levels for the next 100 years and beyond. With its unique topography, Habacoa could withstand a direct hit from a hurricane with only minor damage expected.
  • Clean & Renewable Energy: With 340 days of annual sunshine, Bahamian weather conditions are optimal for the generation of solar energy. Habacoa will incorporate state-of-the-art energy generation & storage technologies and has committed to using 30% solar power to meet the project’s energy needs.
  • Preserving the Island's Ecosystem: Habacoa is committed to achieve La Belle Classe Destination classification and Blue Flag standards and establish the Marina as one of the most environmentally sustainable in the world.

Investment Highlights

Why Invest

Invest in North America’s Largest Superyacht Marina & Luxury Residences

Watch this short video to understand the business behind Habacoa

Residential Community:

Luxury Residential communities like Habacoa, are a proven and successful concept in the Bahamas. Over the past two decades a few luxury communities have been built and sold-out in the islands around Habacoa.

Habacoa will capitalize on the pent-up demand created in the last few years. According to Knight Frank, luxury real estate prices have increased 15% in 2021, 2022 and 2023 already from record highs.

Habacoa is offering:

OCEANFRONT ESTATES

  • 18 Oceanfront Estate Homesites
  • One Acre +
  • Spectacular Beachfront Views
  • A Blank Canvas for One’s Masterpiece

MARINAFRONT ESTATES

  • 19 Marina-Front Estate Homesites
  • One Acre +
  • 10 Homesites w/ 100-foot Private Slips

CANAL ESTATES

  • 42 Canal-Front Estate Homesites
  • One Acre +
  • 10 Homesites w/ 80-foot Private Slips
  • 20 Homesites w/ 100-foot Private Slips

  • 700 SF – 5,000 SF
  • 1 – 5 Bedrooms
  • Marina & Ocean Views

Superyacht Marina:

Today, the marina industry is experiencing a severe shortage in slips generally, and superyachts specifically. In the US, there are currently 7 superyachts for every 1 superyacht compatible slip.With the average age of marinas standing at 46 years old, the marina industry is lacking the infrastructure and cutting-edge technology to service the advances and sophistication of the latest superyachts. Furthermore, marinas are functioning as “parking lots”: yachts come in, fuel up, and set out for their next trip. They offer very limited services or amenities for yacht owners, guests, or crew.

Habacoa will be the largest and most comprehensive superyacht marina in the North American basin. In the world of Habacoa, there will be more reasons to stay than leave: The lush, carefully designed international village and iconic superyacht marina will offer every luxury, service and space imaginable for residents, visitors, and crew alike.

Habacoa will redefine the marina industry - from simple functionality to ultra-luxury hospitality. Creating a global, eco-friendly, superyacht destination marina brand.

As the new “disruptor” in a traditional industry, Habacoa’s focus is on four key points:

  • Superyacht Centric: Exclusive superyacht slips up to 705 feet, with on-dock utilities.
  • Destination Marina: Offering exceptional experiences, worth a special journey with privacy & exclusivity.
  • Ultra-Luxury Hospitality: Providing white-glove services and state-of-the-art amenities.
  • Cutting-Edge Eco-Technology: Featuring solar arrays, green and EV infrastructure, and local preservation efforts with an emphasis on strong relationships with the local community.
 

The $1 billion development is expected to transform the area of South Abaco (Bahamas) and create several billion dollars of economic impact over the next 10 years. When fully operational, the 110-acre marina is expected to produce 1000 peak construction jobs and 660 permanent local jobs.

No new marinas are being built
