Skipper Looking for Suggestions
Skipper Hugh is looking for 3 months storage in the Bahamas. If you are familiar with boat yards/marinas in the Bahamas, let us hear from you. In the meantime, we suggest that Hugh dig into Explorer Chartbooks, a SSECN Partner, for information on long term storage.
About to leave SW Florida for my first Bahamas trip on my 36′ monohull sailboat. Plan to sail through June or July 2016 and then find somewhere to leave the boat preferably on the hard.
Any suggestions as to somewhere to be hauled for about 3months?

What months are you interested in? We live in Freeport, off one of the finger channels along the Grand Lucaya Canal, about equidistant from the southern entrance and the bridge, 220′ dock, and 1 mooring. We live here, gated prioerty, with 2 BIG dogs. We have about 9′ depth at our dock. Our MagicJack # in the Bahamas 757 588-0375.
The best storage we have used in the Bahamas is Kevali House in hurricane hole #3 across the bay from Georgetown in the Exumas.
The owner, Bob, runs a tight ship and a close watch over his operation.
We have stored our boat there twice, once in his slips and once on a mooring. I found there is much less galvanic corrosion on the mooring.
Here’s the website http://www.kevallihouse.com/marina/
We left ours at Marsh Harbor Boatyard. Good service, reasonable prices, 24 hr security, and nice people . Its on the outskirts of Marsh Hbr but still close to services, provisioning etc. Its also close to a major airport so no water taxi required. You can check their website for prices.
