The Bahamas Are Calling – From Home Port to Freeport in Less than 3 Hours

With pristine beaches, gem-like waters, and a relaxed island atmosphere, The Bahamas are an incomparable destination to visit. Yet for many boating from up north, the journey across the Atlantic can seem endless. Luckily for Florida’s Treasure Coast, these exquisite islands are just 55 nautical miles away. Members of Sailfish Point, a private club community just north of the Palm Beaches, cherish the chance to travel from their private marina to The Bahamas in just three hours. Let’s take a closer look at how Members spend their weekends within this one-of-a-kind getaway.

World-Class Fishing

While the waters surrounding Sailfish Point are recognized as the Sailfish Capital of the World, The Bahamas offers some of the best sportfishing opportunities in the world. Anglers venture into the deep blue sea off the coast of the Grand Bahamas in search of sportfish such as tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and mahi-mahi. The thrill of the hunt is present at all depths, with grouper, snapper and yellowtail found when reef and bottom fishing. World-class bone fishing and tarpon are in close proximity no matter the tide. The Bahamas provides versatile fishing experiences, with annual fishing tournaments held throughout the year. The combination of a temperate climate and an abundance of marine life creates ideal conditions for deep-sea and reef fishing, catering to anglers of all experience levels.

Let Your Adventurous Spirit Set Sail

While some are out on the ocean, others are basking in the unique landscape of the islands. Made up of over 700 islands and 2,400 smaller cays, The Bahamas consist of geological wonders and one-of-a-kind wildlife from every port. Members and their families take advantage of snorkeling along vibrant coral reefs and exploring world renowned shipwrecks via scuba diving. The rich ecosystem is ideal for kids of all ages, with endless opportunities to swim among colorful fish, friendly nurse sharks, and famous swimming pigs. Members escape their comfort zones and dive into the natural phenomenon that are underwater sinkholes, most referred to as blue holes. Blue holes are formed for over a couple thousand years through the dissolution of limestone and are popular among divers due to the unique marine life and intricate cave systems. The Bahamas even has one of the deepest blue holes in the world, Dean’s Blue Hole, on Long Island, with an estimated depth of 663 feet. Whether its deep-sea fishing or adventuring along the shoreline, there is something to capture everyone’s interest during these weekend getaways.

Relax on White and Pink Sand Beaches

Consisting of powdered sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, the breathtaking beaches of The Bahamas stretch for miles. Members take in the unique characteristics of each beach from the iconic pink sand on Harbour Island to the swimming pigs in Exuma. Snorkel, paddle board and kayak in the shallow waters right offshore in between maritime travel. The versatility of The Bahamas makes these beaches ideal for everyone in the family, much like the extraordinary beaches of Sailfish Point. The oceanfront community is situated on the tip of Hutchinson Island with a natural inlet flowing through them. This unique geographical feature makes Sailfish Point unlike any other community in Florida, as members are surrounded by beach from east to west. In addition to being surrounded by pristine beach, Members have access to luxury waterfront amenities including the Oceanfront Club, complete with dining venues, a pool, and a spa.
