WEST END, Grand Bahama - The Management is proud to announce a strategic joint venture that will establish the Blue Marlin Cove Resort and Marina, Bootle Bay, as Grand Bahama Island’s premier bone fishing centre, as we welcome the newest members to our family: Tommy and Carl Rolle, better known as the "Bone Fish Folley Sons".
Tommy and Carl will be our partners in our new Pro-Staff Fishing and Water Sports operations. And in establishing a signature sport fishing experience, by Ministry of Tourism Certified Fishing Guides, our goal is to always give our guests a true "Island Experience" with Authentically Bahamian Culture. Combined with their incredible sports fishing back grounds and roots to West End, Grand Bahama we feel certain we have made the best choice to add to our family here at Blue Marlin Cove.
Our resort will be adding new guide boats, offshore and snorkeling sightseeing boats, along with jeeps and a 15 passenger courtesy van to carry our clients to and from their island experiences. We are extremely excited to announce the addition of a Beach Club for our guests in 2013.
As an important feature of our annual calendar of events, our resort team will be promoting & hosting the “1st annual “Bone Fish Folley Inshore & Offshore Fishing Tournament” and will continue to do so for each year thereafter to come, in honor of this truly legendary man who brought such happiness and greatness to the people of the Bahamas.
