Palm Cay, an upscale waterfront development on Nassau’s eastern shore, hosted the second annual Bahamas Sports Fishing Network (BSFN) Boat Show recently. The event featured vessels on display from $10,000 to $290,000, ranging from centre console open fishing vessels with single outboard engine to elaborate sportfish models.

Vendors including kayak and rowboat dealers to outdoor furniture manufacturers, from jet ski sales to sailmakers, charter boat operators to mechanics and marine suppliers turned the quiet grounds into a bustling arena for all things related to boating. Bouncing castle, Sands Beer stands, burgers and an appearance by heavyweight boxer Sherman ‘the Tank’ Williams added to festivities. For many, it was an opportunity to tour the $200 million high-end development at the eastern end of New Providence.
