Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay officially opened in Nassau on May 3, 2026, with Prime Minister Philip Davis presiding over the grand opening ceremony attended by senior government officials. The facility, located on the sheltered southeastern end of New Providence Island, represents a significant expansion of the Bahamas' marine infrastructure and positions the nation to compete more effectively for regional boating and waterfront investment.
The 50-acre development offers deep-water access with wet slips accommodating vessels up to 130 feet, alongside approximately 50 dedicated berths and catamaran moorings in Phase One. Beyond wet-slip capacity, the resort features more than 300 dry-stack storage spaces and a 185-mph hurricane-rated dry storage facility described as the only facility of its kind in the Bahamas. The structure is equipped with the world's largest marina Wiggins forklift and includes unlimited launches and retrievals, engine flushing, freshwater rinses, and fire-suppression systems.
Full-service marina amenities include 24/7 security, on-site concierge support, fueling stations, pump-out services, power access, and app-based scheduling for vessel management. The facility also provides authorized service for major marine brands including Mercury and Yamaha engines. Its strategic location near Lynden Pindling International Airport and proximity to the Exumas—approximately 32 nautical miles away—positions it as a gateway connecting the United States, Nassau, and the Family Islands.
William Pizzorni, Founder and CEO of Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay, described the opening as fulfilling a long-term vision. "We set out to build not just a marina, but a destination defined by uncompromising quality, innovation, and care," Pizzorni stated, emphasizing the facility's role in delivering experiences for boaters while creating employment and economic opportunity for Bahamians.
Phase One comprises the core marina infrastructure. The broader master-planned development envisions a complete waterfront resort community as part of a multi-phase investment valued at approximately $500 million. The project is expected to generate significant economic impact and create up to 200 local jobs.
