From February 6–8, 2026, Xquisite Yachts transformed Freeport into a quiet center of global yachting attention hosting its most exclusive In-House Bahamas Boat Show yet at the Xquisite Catamaran Center and Xquisite Residences in Freeport.
For Bahamians, this wasn’t just another luxury event passing through, it was a reminder of the caliber of industry already rooted on our shores. While international boat shows are often defined by chaos and spectacle, this three-day showcase leaned into something far more refined: access and intention. Held where Xquisite catamarans are actually built, serviced, and prepared for life at sea, the event offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at a global brand operating from Grand Bahama.
Guests toured the full fleet, joined sea trials, and spent unhurried time aboard multiple models, experiencing firsthand how these vessels perform in Bahamian waters. Seeing world-class yachts tested and refined here reinforces The Bahamas’ role not just as a playground for luxury, but as a serious hub for maritime excellence.
The experience extended beyond the docks. Guests stayed at the new Xquisite Residences and dined at The Galley Bar & Restaurant, highlighting how waterfront living, hospitality, and marine innovation can coexist and thrive in Grand Bahama.
For Bahamians watching from close range, Xquisite’s in-house showcase was not about exclusivity for exclusivity’s sake, it was about presence. Proof that global luxury can be built, sustained, and celebrated right here at home.
