“’Blue Marlin Cove Resort & Marina’ is the type of multi-use asset that warrants expansive exposure and a clearly defined sales timeline,” said Chad Roffers, CEO and Co-Founder of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. “With its operating marina, income-generating residences, and significant expansion potential, the property appeals to a wide buyer pool. Our platform is designed to surface that demand, bring qualified buyers to the table quickly, and deliver a transparent, efficient path to sale.”
“This is a property that calls for a highly considered sales strategy,” said Christopher Ansell. “Partnering with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions allows us to leverage their global buyer network with a time-certain process and level of execution to bring clarity and momentum to resort-scale offerings like this.”
“What makes ‘Blue Marlin Cove Resort & Marina’ so compelling is the balance it strikes between lifestyle and utility,” said Vanessa Ansell. “Owners have immediate access to world-class fishing, a protected marina, and fully finished residences, while also holding the potential to enhance and evolve the property.”
Designed for full-time living, vacation use, or short-term rental, the residences feature open-plan layouts, supported by resort amenities including a swimming pool with Jacuzzi spa, tiki bar and restaurant, outdoor kitchen areas, family recreation spaces, communal lounges, on-site management and security, and a caretaker’s cottage.
A defining component of the offering is the property’s freehold marina, strategically positioned on Grand Bahama’s western edge with direct ocean access via a deep-water channel engineered for vessels up to 100 feet. Designed to accommodate serious boaters and charter operations, the marina includes 20 of 30 existing slips, with infrastructure in place to add approximately 15 or more additional perimeter berths, bringing total potential capacity to over 45 slips.
Situated just 68 nautical miles east of Palm Beach, Florida, and minutes from West End Airport with on-site customs and immigration, ‘Blue Marlin Cove Resort & Marina’ offers world-class fishing grounds and an established boating community. Located at 1 Bootle Bay, the offering presents a compelling opportunity for immediate potential income, operational scale, and future development upside through diversified revenue streams, including condominium rentals, marina dockage, fuel operations, and food and beverage in one of The Bahamas’ most accessible boating destinations.
