game fishing in the world, drawing pleasure boats and
yachts from hundreds of miles away. In fact, Valentines
has become known as the Sport Fishing Center of the
Bahamas. Record catches of tuna, wahoo, and mar-
lin have been caught and the resort holds prestigious
fishing tournaments annually. Valentine’s marina is
the largest and most complete marina on Harbour Is-
land, and one of the largest in Eleuthera. That’s why
so many yacht owners make the resort their home port
of choice. The marina, which is full service with fuel,
electric, water, and Wi-Fi, won the 2015 World Travel
Award for the Bahamas’ Leading Marina.
In addition, the resort is the ideal location for boat
charters and rentals, kayaking, sailing, water skiing,
jet skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, and wake boarding;
not to mention snorkeling and scuba diving. The Valen-
tines Dive Center is PADI certified and well-equipped
to plan a dive outing for new and experienced divers,
alike. With coral reefs, grottos, underwater blow holes,
high speed drift dives, and walls and wrecks, the local
waters offer some of the best diving in the world. The
resort maintains custom-made dive boats, and has
full scuba equipment and Sea MX10 cameras avail-
able for rent.
Valentines is comprised of 41 condo units. It also has
51 boat slips and two restaurants – the Rooster Tail
Bar & Grill and the Boat House Restaurant. All of its

sion, modern kitchen appliances, and balconies over-
