Earned income and a home · Bahamian heritage

Earn income. Fund local access.

Visitors can help keep local children sailing. Our paid camps and lessons can support youth access. Watersports services can also create work for Bahamians who know and love these waters.

01 / EARN

Welcome visiting groups

We aim to earn income from visiting camps and lessons, alongside rentals.

02 / SUSTAIN

Keep local access open

We aim to use that income to help pay for free and subsidised youth places. It also supports equipment and operations.

03 / DEVELOP

Build local livelihoods

We train Bahamians for instruction and watersports work.

Our aim is sustainable income and local jobs, with paid visiting camps helping fund subsidised local places.

Offer watersports

We will develop sailing, wingfoiling, kitesurfing and windsurfing with trained instructors and suitable equipment.

A permanent home

We plan a Savannah Sound base with storage and maintenance facilities, classrooms and launching facilities.

Culture & heritage

We learn from traditional sailors and boat builders. We aim to develop sloop fleets and Homecoming regattas, alongside inter-settlement events.

Share local responsibility

We work with schools and families, with support from community leaders. We support standards while local teams run programmes.

Build maritime skills

We prepare people for instruction and boat care, programme leadership and visitor services.

We want more Bahamians to take part in the marine economy.
