Bahamas Yacht Charter | History
Christopher Columbus first made landfall in the Bahamas in 1492, upon which he encountered a subgroup of Arawakan-speaking Taino people. These native inhabitants were known as the Lucayans, and are believed to be the first inhabitants of the Bahamas. After the Spanish conquest, the British began to settle the islands in 1647. The Bahamas gained independence from Britain in 1973, but the British government retained responsibility for defense and foreign affairs.
Thus, many Bahamians have ties to Britain, and there are political parties supporting secession from the Commonwealth of Nations. In addition to sugar, molasses, rum, fresh fish (caught locally), nickel ore (a raw material source), sisal, and hemp, the country's capital city is located on the island of New Providence. The tourism industry has replaced fishing as one of the major economic activities, with about two million tourists visiting each year.
Ninety percent of its visitors come from the United States. About one-third of the population lives in Nassau or within 25 miles of Nassau. Manufacturing accounts for a significant part of the economy, producing clothing and other goods such as cigarettes, paintbrushes, plastics, furniture, aluminum foil, toys, shoes, and clothing.
Bahamas Yacht Charter | Marinas
There are marinas on nearly every significant island. Some marinas include Bay Street Marina, Albany Marina, Lyford Cay Club Marina, Palm Cay Marina in Nassau, Emerald Bay Marina in Great Exuma, Port Lucaya Marina in Freeport, and Highbourne Cay Marina in Highbourne Cay.
