Hurricane season storage yard in the Bahamas

[callistov42]

I would really like to be able to leave my boat in the Bahamas next summer, on the hard for hurricane season. I am insured for the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos and the whole Caribbean but NOT for US waters.
The Turks and Caicos will only let me stay for two 90 day cruising permit periods. I am looking for suggestions for a yard where I could haul next July. I had heard that Marsh Harbor had a yard but I cannot contact them. Any other yards that anyone can suggest?

Of issue with the Bahamas is that if a large hurricane hits the storm surge will submerge many of the boat yards and your vessel will float away, and / or they tend to topple like dominos when one boat tips on its stands and then all the rest in line tumble.

Suggest you check to be sure that your insurance policy provides for coverage if stored in the Bahamas for the hurricane season.

Dorian was devastating.

The boat yard at Marsh Harbour along with everything else at Marsh Harbour was devastated but is slowly recovering.

Here is a link to a website for the boat yard with contact information and presumably present day images.
