"Guy Harvey to Open Outpost Club on Rum Cay, Bahamas
Guy Harvey Outpost Club & Marina
Second Location for Guy Harvey Outpost Properties Program
By Guy Harvey Outpost Club & Marina
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 28, 2011 -- FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrated marine wildlife artist and conservationist Guy Harvey today announced plans to open the Guy Harvey Outpost Club & Marina, Rum Cay this summer, upon completion of initial renovations and rebranding of Rum Cay's popular Sumner Point Marina & Villas.
Following the reopening of the Bimini Big Game Club last year, the Guy Harvey Outpost organization has turned to the Southern Bahamas for its latest undertaking. Roughly 50 miles southeast of Georgetown in the Exumas, Rum Cay is 10 miles south of Conception Island, which is part of the Bahamas National Land and Sea Park sanctuary, and figures prominently in Harvey's interest. "In addition to the fantastic diving there, we intend to work with government in expanding the coral and shark research work of the Guy Harvey Research Institute which is a cornerstone of our Outpost program in the Bahamas," noted Harvey who holds a Ph.D in marine fisheries management.
"Rum Cay has always interested us because of its unquestionable natural beauty and its top-of-class sporting activities, including extreme sports that appeal to a new generation of Guy Harvey friends and fans," emphasizes Mark Ellert, president of Outpost and who leads the company's search for new opportunities and markets.
"Every serious angler or scuba diver has the Southern Bahamas on his or her bucket list; every mariner heading to and from the Caribbean knows Rum is where you put in for fuel and shore leave before continuing on with your journey. Rum is the southern gateway in and out of the Bahamas, just like our Bimini Big Game Club property is to the north, so this is a great complement to our system and will be a welcome Outpost for any of our Guy Harvey customers spending time further down the island chain," adds Ellert.
The company's immediate plans include rebuilding the marina and fuel dock, adding a dive shop, refurnishing existing beachfront cottages and redeveloping the club's popular Out of The Blue restaurant. These improvements are scheduled for completion by the start of the summer boating season. In the fall work will begin on adding new beachfront and marina suites, a small spa and a freshwater pool complete with terraced patios and a pool/beach bar.

"Guy Harvey to open 2nd Outpost resort in Bahamas

Marine scientist and artist Guy Harvey will open the second of his boutique Outpost resorts next year, located in the southern Bahamas.
Harvey’s Fort Lauderdale-based resort company plans to invest about half a million dollars to renovate the small hotel and marina property on Rum Cay by next summer, said president Mark Ellert.
The newest Outpost initially will offer a marina for 25-30 boats; four cottages and a two-bedroom house; plus a restaurant. Room rates likely will run about $150-$250 a night, Ellert said.
A rugged out-island litle changed in decades, Rum Cay has only about 60 permanent residents. It is roughly 50 miles southeast of Georgetown in the Exumas and about 10 miles from Conception Island, part of the Bahamas National Land and Sea Park sanctuary.
To reach the island, travelers can come by sea, or they can fly either scheduled or charter flights from Fort Lauderdale, Nassau or Georgetown on small planes.
Harvey’s resort group already operates the Bimini Big Game Club on Bimini in the northern Bahamas, known for fishing and boating. It is looking to open properties in the Florida Keys, western Florida, the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador and in other islands in the Bahamas, said Ellert.
The resorts emphasize marine sports including scuba diving and finishing as well as marine conservation.
