The Adventure Hub narrative
Channel Cay occupies an exceptional position off the western side of Long Island, providing access by boat and seaplane to an enormous natural playground. The concept centers on activity, access and exploration.
Channel Cay is intended to become a launching point for adventure.
Take the boat fishing in the morning. Explore neighboring islands and secluded beaches. Dive the reef. Go bonefishing. Join a charter. Arrive by seaplane. Meet friends coming through by yacht or seaplane. Spend the day exploring the surrounding waters, then return to the marina as the day's activity comes home for the evening.
The objective is not isolation. It is access.
Access to the ocean. Access to the Seaplane Base. Access to fishing, diving, boating and exploration. Access to Long Island, Exuma and the wider Out Islands. And yes—the surrounding ocean really is that incredible cerulean blue.
Approximately half of Channel Cay has remained in the same Bahamian family since the late 1700s, and the intention is that it will remain so for generations to come. Long-term stewardship is central to the Channel Cay vision.
The capital strategy centers on the proposed sale of the freehold of all 44 planned marina berths. Expressions of interest are invited from individual and institutional investors interested in bulk and single slip acquisitions while the details are developed.
The intention is to retain the island land under long-term stewardship while the marina, Seaplane Base, Flex Space Condos and visiting activity operators create the economic and social center of Channel Cay.
Make the island increasingly useful, active and valuable without progressively selling the island itself.
The planned 44-berth marina will become the natural center of activity. Rather than serving simply as somewhere to keep a boat, the marina is intended to become the point from which much of the Channel Cay experience begins and ends.
Fishing trips, diving excursions, island exploration, watersports, charters, day trips and visiting vessels can all converge here. Operators from Long Island, Exuma and the surrounding islands will be able to use Channel Cay as a convenient base, destination and stopping point—creating an active environment for condominium owners, visiting yachtsmen, seaplane pilots and guests.
Several businesses operating in Long Island and Exuma have already expressed interest in using Channel Cay as a base or stopping point for tours, excursions, sports activities and seaplane and boat charters. That creates the possibility of something unusual: an environment that remains low-density and carefully stewarded while still possessing life, movement and activity.
Although adventure may be the experience, systems engineering remains behind the scenes. Channel Cay has been master-planned so that major infrastructure elements perform multiple functions wherever practical.
The planned Seaplane Base provides air access alongside the marina, bringing arrivals directly to the waterfront. The marina is not simply a place to berth boats; it becomes the commercial and activity center. The condominium buildings provide accommodation while supporting the activity and hospitality ecosystem surrounding the marina. Retaining 80+ acres as a natural preserve protects the natural character that makes Channel Cay worth experiencing in the first place.
The result is a development philosophy in which engineering, environmental stewardship, commercial activity and adventure reinforce one another rather than compete.

The marina and island infrastructure remain under design development. Updated plans will be shared as the proposal progresses.The wider marina perspective
Neil Chapman, founder of Boatshed, explores how cruising boats can use marinas as service destinations within a wider network of shore access, local expertise and support. His article also stresses that the economics of different boating arrangements need to be tested.
For Channel Cay, that perspective reinforces our ambition to create an active destination within the southern Bahamas: a place where visiting boats, island exploration and local operators bring life to the waterfront. The proposed berth ownership strategy is Channel Cay’s own initiative.
Institutional participation in the wider marina sector is illustrated by Blackstone Infrastructure’s completion of its Safe Harbor acquisition in April 2025 and Suntex’s announced merger with Windward Marina Group in March 2026. These transactions provide industry context; they do not establish Channel Cay’s valuation, demand or prospective returns.
