Docking assistance is provided for arrivals and departures. Resort cart transport handles luggage and provisions between dock and accommodations. The marina can arrange vehicle transportation and rental car services for exploring the island.

Resort amenities

The Marriott Autograph Collection resort wraps around the marina with elegant accommodations and dining. The 1648 Restaurant and bar operates seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, named for the year Eleuthera was first settled by the Eleutheran Adventurers.

Resort guests and marina visitors have access to the property's beaches, pool, and recreational facilities. Private catering for special events aboard can be arranged through the resort's culinary team. The combination of yacht-specific services and resort hospitality creates a seamless experience.

Governor's Harbour & central Eleuthera

Governor's Harbour is Eleuthera's capital and most historic settlement, with colonial-era architecture, a working fishing harbour, and an authentic island atmosphere that has escaped the resort development found elsewhere. The settlement's hill streets offer views across the harbour to the Atlantic side.

Central Eleuthera features some of the island's finest beaches, including the famous pink sand stretches south toward Tarpum Bay. The Glass Window Bridge, where the dark Atlantic meets the turquoise Caribbean shallows, lies within a reasonable day trip to the north. Local restaurants serve fresh seafood in unpretentious settings.

Private & exclusive character

French Leave's limited slip count maintains an exclusive atmosphere suited to owners seeking privacy and discretion. The marina operates by reservation, with rates calculated per foot per day plus metered electricity and water. Minimum night reservations may apply during high season.

The combination of Governor's Harbour's unspoiled character and French Leave's refined facilities appeals to those who prefer authentic Bahamian experiences over the social scene of busier yachting destinations.
