NASSAU, BAHAMAS – As we continue our series, deepening our Bahamian roots with the Baha Mar resort, we take a closer look at the work their foundation has been doing in the community.

The resort’s senior vice president says giving back is a commitment they take seriously.

The Baha Mar Foundation has been making an impact across the country for years. Their latest donation, two brand-new 2025 sea-doo jet skis and a specialized trailer, was handed over to the Royal Bahamas Defence Force to boost patrols in Nassau Harbour and surrounding coastal waters.

Baha Mar senior vice president, Robert “Sandy” Sands, says safety on the water is just as critical to tourism as the fun that comes with it.

“One of the elements that is so important is safety of guest, safety on our waters etc,,, one of the way we can assist the competent authority, the rbpf, the rbdf, is by assisting them with vehicles such as these two jet skis to help enforce compliance and to police this particular area and to provide curve lance to our tourists as they enjoy this aspect of our tourism industry“

Sands says the donation reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment
