Bimini Sands Resort and Marina on Bimini has entered into a strategic marketing agreement with Guy Harvey Outpost. By joining the Guy Harvey Outpost Expedition Collection of independently owned and operated resorts, Bimini Sands will be situated to take advantage of the Outpost’s marketing, outfitting and online reservation system. In addition, Guy Harvey Outpost will have the opportunity to co-host fishing tournaments with Bimini Sands from its full-service marina, which offers the fast access to world-class fishing, along with oceanfront condos, two restaurants, a new infinity pool, a full-service dive operation, and access to numerous other activities and attractions.
“We are delighted to partner with Guy Harvey because his passion for conserving the environment matches our own,” said Frank Cooney, President and CEO of Bimini Sands Resort & Marina. “Keeping our resort and marina, our island, and the incredible blue water surrounding it pristine is a priority for us here at Bimini Sands. In addition, our world-class dive operation, Neal Watson’s Bimini Scuba Center, and the Bimini Sands Activities Center, which offers a long list of eco-adventures from shark encounters to stand-up paddleboarding, makes Bimini Sands an ideal destination for any Guy Harvey Outpost Expeditions guest.”
“We are thrilled that Bimini Sands invited us back to Bimini,” noted Harvey, a celebrated international marine wildlife artist, scientist and conservationist. In announcing the company¹s return to the legendary fishing island, Harvey added, “Our fans want us back in Bimini to help promote and protect the island¹s heritage they have enjoyed for years and hope to pass on to the next generation.”
Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts & Lodges returns to Bimini after helping reopen Bimini Big Game Club on North Bimini in 2010.
Guy Harvey Outpost President Mark Ellert stated, “Bimini Sands offers our customers what they want, ¬lots of activities, great facilities and an incredible vacation value. Add the laid back vibe of South Bimini, and whether you¹re traveling with family or friends for a weekend or a week, you¹ll have a visit worthy of a Hemingway story.”
Bimini Sands Marina is the only Blue Flag-certified marina in Bimini, and one of only four marinas in the Bahamas to achieve the high standard of environmental stewardship. It also was the first marina in the Bahamas to become a certified Shark-Free Marina, aiding in the preservation of endangered shark species – something Guy Harvey also supports.
Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts is based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The company¹s Signature Properties operate under the Guy Harvey Outpost brand name, which include the TradeWinds Sandpiper Suites in St. Pete Beach, Florida, The Islander in Islamorada, which is currently being converted to a Guy Harvey Outpost Resort property, and a 30-unit eco-lodge planned for construction in the Galapagos Islands, on the island of San Cristobal.
Members of the Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts and Lodges are independently operated and managed boutique sized hotels and lodges in remote destinations that offer superior service and amenities.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Guy Harvey and his clients back to Bimini to enjoy everything our island and our truly authentic Bahamian resort and marina have to offer,” Cooney said.
