RUM CAY, The Bahamas May 1, 2006 The Rum Cay Resort Marina is proud to announce its participation as a sponsor of the 27th Bertram-Hatteras Shootout Fishing Tournament held in Abaco, Bahamas, May 9-13th. This prestigious and high-caliber saltwater sport-fishing tournament claims to be about serious, honest competitive fishing combined with serious fun-filled socializing as well.
Not only has the saltwater tournament business grown by leaps and bounds, but
reports over the past few years have also shown a tremendous boom in the overall sport-fishing industry. It is that target market avid anglers and yachtsmen whose attention the Rum Cay Resort Marina is out to catch at the tournament this year.
"We are proud to be a part of this exciting event and capturing the sport-fishing phenomenon that The Bahamas -- from Abaco to Rum Cay -- is so well known for," states John Mittens, chairman of Montana Holdings, Ltd, developers of the Rum Cay Resort Marina project in Rum Cay. In fact, record catches of wahoo -- in the waters directly surrounding Rum Cay --have been recorded in the 2006 World Record Game Fishes annual published by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), he continues.
Rum Cay Resort Marina is a 900- acre luxury residential resort marina scheduled for a Spring 2006 "ground-breaking" and marina dredging. It is being developed as the ultimate destination for the free-spirited, adventure traveler seeking an authentic Bahamian "out island" experience without sacrificing the pampered luxury of an exclusive resort. A team of world-renowned professionals has been commissioned to bring this vision to life. Meticulous attention to detail and focused planning promises to create a resort marina experience unlike any other.
Rum Cay Resort Marina will enhance what is already recognized as the finest fishing, boating, and diving destination in the world by adding superb amenities including a mega-yacht marina, a luxury hotel, elegant residential choices, fine dining and shopping, plus spa and fitness facilities. All of this, to highlight this spectacular, natural playground ringed by transcendent beaches.
The initial development of Rum Cay Resort Marina will begin with the construction of an 80-slip marina, scheduled for completion by the Fall of 2007. Phase One will consist of the marina, marina village, and a condo-hotel.
