Blue Marlin Cove & Marina | 1 Bootle Bay, West End, Freeport and Grand Bahama, Bahamas

Blue Marlin Cove sits in Bottle Bay on the western tip of Grand Bahama Island, strategically positioned between Florida and the broader Bahamas archipelago. Just 68 nautical miles from Palm Beach, an easy afternoon crossing for experienced boaters, the property provides direct ocean access through a deep-water channel and sheltered basin that accommodates vessels up to 100 feet. West End Airport, located minutes from the marina, offers customs and immigration services for private aircraft, while the property’s position on Grand Bahama’s western edge makes it an ideal first or last stop for cruisers navigating between Florida and the Out Islands. The surrounding waters deliver exceptional fishing opportunities year-round, with blue marlin, white marlin, yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, dolphin (mahi-mahi), and wahoo all accessible within one mile of the marina. Bonefish flats are equally close for fly fishing enthusiasts. Grand Bahama Island’s larger centers of Freeport and Lucaya, approximately 25 miles east, provide shopping, dining, medical facilities, and additional air service through Grand Bahama International Airport, while West End maintains its authentic Bahamian character with local restaurants, provisioning, and the relaxed pace that defines island living. The property’s location balances accessibility with seclusion: close enough to Florida for easy passage, far enough from cruise ship crowds to preserve its tranquil, family-friendly atmosphere. For boaters, Blue Marlin Cove serves as both destination and departure point for exploring The Bahamas’ extensive cruising grounds, with protected anchorages, diving sites, and remote cays all within range.
