Jeremy Holcomb is a native of the stunning Emerald Coast, a place where he has spent his entire life relishing in its endless beauty and opportunities. He has been happily married to his wife, Karen, for over three decades and is a proud father to three incredible children named Austin, Gav, and Belle. As a family, they have always been heavily involved in the marina industry, with their children following in their footsteps by working in marinas since their teenage years and beyond, sharing their love and passion for the water.

Jeremy’s voyage in the maritime world started when he was a teenage dock attendant at the world-renowned Emmanuel Docks in Destin, Florida, owned by Ben Marler. With hard work and dedication, he eventually earned his Master’s License, leading him to operate a 49-passenger vessel from the same dock until his late 20s. He then went on to manage private yachts and helped improve hospitality and operations in marinas across the United States.

Dredging is an essential part of preparing a marina for the arrival of larger vessels. It involves removing sediment and other debris from the seabed to make the marina basin deeper. The excavation will provide more navigable waters and better docking facilities for boats and yachts.The Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay is currently undergoing this critical operation, signifying the progression in its construction phase. Dredging is a critical initial step that creates the marina basin and allows for subsequent marine works such as seawall construction, breakwater creation, and more. Providing a large, deepwater marina basin will offer a safer and improved marina experience for boaters in the future.

Commencing dredging activities not only marks an essential advancement in the overall building plan but also indicates a steadfast dedication to creating an enhanced marine environment. Numerous steps are taken to make certain that there are minimal environmental impacts. Additionally, close coordination with Bahamian regulatory agencies ensures responsible environmental stewardship. The owners of Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay are eager to complete the dredging so that the subsequent stages of development can continue smoothly and effectively.

Upon completion of the construction project, Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay promises to provide state-of-the-art docking facilities, including dry storage for vessels up to 55ft and yachts up to 220ft. Furthermore, it is anticipated to attract marine enthusiasts who seek peace of mind boat storage and a central location within The Bahamas, allowing short travel time to the Family Islands and bolstering local tourism and economy.

The commencement of dredging at the Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay signals considerable progress. This development is a cause for celebration for all involved in the project, as well as future patrons and visitors who will be utilizing these new facilities.

New marina and more in the works along ICW in Gulf Shores

GULF SHORES, Ala. (WKRG) — Dirt is already being moved on a property off County Road 4 West in Gulf Shores and a marina is starting to take shape along the north bank of the Intra Coastal Waterway in Gulf Shores.

“That is the one thing we’ve missed since the beginning of Gulf Shores, some opportunity for water access in a boat,” said Mayor Robert Craft. “We have very little of that.” A development called Waterway Village West could change that and bring so much more.

“We are a lifestyle, all service-oriented type development,” said Peter Bos, CEO of Legendary Marine and Yacht Club. He said the first phase will be the Town Center with outdoor venues, multi-use trails, restaurants, retail shops and hotels but it will begin with a state-of-the-art marina.

“I think we will have the wet marina open by next season, the docks are already here and ready to be installed,” said Bos. “The dry storage building will probably be 15 months before it opens.”

The building where the announcement was made is what is left from a failed attempt to develop the same property but Craft expects this time will be different. “We’ve had a lot of efforts here but none as well-founded as this one,” said Craft. “Not just founded but funded.”

Lulu’s, Tacky Jacks and Acme Oyster House already have their place on the ICW but they may have even more neighbors soon. Mayor Craft said he expects five more developments will make announcements about property along the ICW in the very near future.
