MSC Group’s Cruise Division has announced the development of Sandy Cay, a new private island destination in The Bahamas, set to open in 2028. Located adjacent to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the project represents a significant investment in the country and signals new opportunities for Bahamians across multiple sectors.
Sandy Cay is envisioned as a refined and intimate destination that builds on The Bahamas’ natural
beauty and global appeal.
Beyond its tourism offering, the development of Sandy Cay is expected to deliver meaningful economic
benefits, including job creation, expanded opportunities for Bahamian entrepreneurs, and increased
engagement with local vendors and service providers.
The project will support employment across a range of industries, including construction, hospitality,
marine services, transportation, and environmental management. As development progresses, there
will also be opportunities for Bahamian small businesses to participate in supply chains, cultural
programming and guest experiences that reflect the authentic spirit of The Bahamas.
Sandy Cay will complement the existing Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, which has already contributed
to the local economy and created employment opportunities for Bahamians. Together, the two
destinations are expected to strengthen The Bahamas’ position as a premier cruise destination while
driving sustained economic activity.
In addition to Sandy Cay, enhancements are planned for Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, including
expanded amenities and new experiences designed to further elevate the destination. These upgrades
are also expected to create additional employment and business opportunities for Bahamians.
MSC Group’s Cruise Division continues to emphasise its commitment to responsible development,
environmental stewardship, and partnerships that support local communities.
With Sandy Cay, the company reinforces its long-term investment in The Bahamas not only as a world-
class destination, but as a partner in economic growth and opportunity.
