As we embark on a new year filled with hope and excitement, I am thrilled to share the latest updates from Tropic Ocean Airways. Within the pages of our Winter BIRD’S EYE magazine, you will discover a world of captivating stories and remarkable experiences that reflect our commit- ment to excellence. One of the highlights of this issue is the return of Santa’s Seaplane, a cherished tradition where we bring holiday cheer to the islands of the Baha- mas. Partnering with Saving the Blue and Fraser Yachts, we embarked on a heartwarming jour- ney to spread joy and happiness to the beautiful community of Great Harbour Cay. Witnessing the joy and gratitude of the community was a humbling experience that reminded us of the power of unity and compassion. In addition to the return of Santa’s Seaplane, we announced the launch of our highly anticipat- ed route to Harbour Island from South Florida. Launching in November, we began offering di- rect private charter from South Florida with a water landing. Beginning this March we will be

offering individual seat service from Fort Lau- derdale International Airport with 4 flights per week increasing connectivity to your favorite Bahamian destination.

LUXURY TRAVEL: EXUMAS

LIVE YOUR DREAMS RATHER THAN DREAM YOUR LIFE: A TALE OF ADVEN- TURE AND INSPIRATION LUXUMAS

LUXURY TRAVEL: EXUMAS

M eet a Canadian entrepreneur and his wife, individuals fortunate to have traveled professional to various coners of the world. As parents of three wonderful kids, their shared passion for living life to the fullest and their awe-inspring encounters with the beauty of nature have molded their extraordinary journey. Their quest has always been to seek out the most magnificent and exclusive destinations. In the late 2000’s, they stumbled upon the Exumas, thanks to a friend’s recommendation. This discovery marked the beginning of a remarkable adventure. In 2012, they made a life altering decision to purchase a catamaran and enter the charter business, partnering with a cmpany based in Nassau. This step would eventually transform into a fruitful partnership. Their true calling has always been to create transformative and exceptional experiences for people, experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Join us as we delve into their captivat- ing story of turning dreams into a reality, a story filled with exploration, partnership, and a profound appreciation for the extraordinary.

Finding the Perfect Island: 23°57’5.56”N 76°18’19.68”O

After 10 years of exploration in the Bahamas and the decision to build an eco-resort, the challenge was to find the perfect island. They had specific criteria in mind: • A place underdeveloped to create the ambiance of a private island but without the as- sociated high costs. • Two adjacent plots, one facing the the Atlantic and the other the Caribbean due to the North-South orientation of the Exumas. • An elevated location with a 360-degree unobstructed view. • A place where boat anchorage was rare to ensure breathtaking views and water quality. • Far enough from busy areas to guarantee tranquility yet close enough for convenience. In 2018, they took the significant step of making purchase offers, accompanied by their daughter. This continues the story by highlighting the specific criteria they had in mind when searing for the ideal location for their eco-resort in the Exuma.

Reality Check: The Challenges Behind the Dream

After a period of dreams and enjoyment, reality struck when they decided to camp on the prop- erty with their son in makeshift accommodations. This dreamy and unique vacation spot turned out to be an enormous challenge when it came to building the desired accommodations. Imagine being on an island with no roads, no water, no electricity, no workforce, and the need to transport everything by sea or air. And let’s not forget, there’s no hardware store nearby in case you forget something. Furthermore, they were in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the local community, and navigating unfamiliar regulations. All of this unfolded in an environment that is relentlessly sunny, with salt-laden air that corrodes everything in a matter of weeks, unlike anything encountered on the mainland.

LUXURY TRAVEL: EXUMAS

It’s entirely understandable that a significant number of projects starting under these conditions find themselves abandoned. Now, they are about to truly understand the meanings of the following words: patience, perseverance, determination, and willpower. And if these challenges weren’t enough, just as they were about to begin construction, the COVID-19 pandemic struck. They were forced to abandon nearly a million dollars’ worth of equipment on the beach for nearly 18 months, anxiously wondering what would be left after all that time without surveillance. At the end of it all, they came to a profound realization: without their Make it Happen (MIH) teams, those who transformed dreams into reality, these ambitious projects would never have seen the light of day. Their dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment turned the most challenging obstacles into steppingstones towards their dream destination. As a special treat, their guests will have the chance to meet these extraordinary individuals who played a pivotal role in bringing this dream to life.

Not Just Another Destination: Crafting the Ultimate Eco-Resort Experience

Their goal in the Caribbean was not to create just another destination, but to provide a unique expe- rience that would push the boundaries of nature appreciation. With today’s technology and recogniz- ing the divine beauty of nature, they set themselves a challenge: How close can they bring people to nature while offering the comfort equivalent to a 5-star hotel, all while being self-sufficient in energy and potable water? To craft the ultimate experience and set an example for sustainable tourism development, they in- vested thousands of hours in research to carefully select every product and supplier. From luxurious Italian lighting to reclaimed Cumaru wood, organic mattresses, and French furniture, nothing about their resort is ordinary. They developed an extensive list of selection criteria to ensure that guests would encounter a plethora of unique and exceptional elements. Their commitment to selfsufficiency and their dedication to sustainable practices ensure that guests can immerse themselves in nature without leaving a significant environmental footprint. What awaits is not just a vacation; it’s an extraor - dinary journey filled with awe-inspiring discoveries.

LUXURY TRAVEL: EXUMAS

A Lasting Impression: Beyond the Journey

People who had the opportunity to experience it in advance often asked what there was to do on an island in the middle of the ocean. There are so many extraordinary things to see and explore that each day is an adventure in itself. Without exception, everyone said that in one week, they had never experienced so many incredible things in such a short time and that they would have liked to extend their stay because there was still so much to do and explore. In addition to all the popular tourist attractions, they are fortunate to have Exumas Premium on site,

which offers high-end electric toys and top-notch boat excursions with the best local fishing captains.

“Beyond Our Wildest Dreams

The final result is nothing short of surreal. I’m often asked whether, knowing what I know today, I would embark on this project again. The answer is a resounding yes because it has been a life-chang- ing experience, shared with my incredible spouse. It’s astonishing how much energy it took, and we met so many amazing people along the way who supported us throughout this journey. However, what is most rewarding of all is witnessing the end result. Photos can’t do it justice. Seeing how this place transforms and brings happiness to those who experience it is incredibly fulfilling. Sharing this place with people who are as passionate about life as we are makes all the difference. It goes beyond our wildest dreams.”

PINK SANDS SPIRITS & SELTZERS SET TO ELEVATE TROPICAL DRINKING SCENE

PARTNERSHIPS: A TASTE OF HARBOUR ISLAND

P ink Sand Spirits, Co. is set to make waves in the Bahamas with its spirits collection and ready-to-drink seltzers, promising to transport you to an immersive, elevated island lifestyle. Recently launched in the Bahamas and now available in the U.S. directly through their website, Pink Sand is not just a drinks brand, it’s a lifestyle inspired by elegant living and the joys of sipping your favorite drinks with friends & family - whether on a pink sand beach or elsewhere. Pink Sand Spirits, Co. is reimagining beloved tropical cocktails, the brand has created the most natural tast- ing seltzers and infused spirits on the market. Focusing on natural, high-quality ingredients, with no artificial or added sugars, intentional flavors, and refined branding, Pink Sand captures the vibrant essence of the tropics without using clichés. Pink Sand debuts with four original seltzer flavors and six spirits (three unflavored & three delicately infused varieties). Pink Sand’s collection of white spirits include their gluten free, batch distilled potato Vodka, fine Puerto Rican White Rum, botanical infused Gin and crisp Tequila Blanco, and are the perfect addition to your favorite cocktails. From there, the brand has delicately infused flavors inspired by the islands into their white spirits. Designed to be easily mixed over ice with the addition of club soda or tonic, the subtle all natural flavors are already present in the bottle. Flavored varieties include Island Citrus Vodka, Pineapple Mint Rum, Hibiscus Gin and their soon-to-come Grapefruit infused Tequila. To round out the product line, Pink Sand has introduced their on-the-go, delicately flavored seltzers. Pink Sand Seltzers are ready-to-drink canned cocktails made with real spirits, real fruit juice and are the most natural tasting seltzers on the market. Flavors include: Island Citrus Vodka, Pineapple Mint Rum & Soda, Hibiscus Gin & Soda and Grapefruit Tequila & Soda. Each of Pink Sand’s spirits & seltzers embody a specific occasion of what it means to vacation elegantly on an island, and aims to bring those feelings to the forefront during consumption. Pink Sand Spirits & Seltzers have been designed to stand out in flavor and on the shelf, with refined but colorful, vibrant, eye-catching designs that bring as much joy to look as they are to drink. The brand also plans to embark on an immersive marketing campaign that seeks to bring consumers the “good life” no matter where they are in the world.

PARTNERSHIPS: A TASTE OF HARBOUR ISLAND

Created by friends Pablo Conde & Alexander Norton, Pink Sand Spirit’s mission is to elevate the antiquated tropical beverage scene, capturing the essence of a refined island lifestyle, while en - couraging people to create lasting memories with their favorite people – on or off an island. “Pink Sand Spirits really began in 1983 with my first visit to Harbour Island in the Bahamas. I was in - stantly mesmerized by the warm salty breeze, the refreshing turquoise sea, the cool pink sand and the relaxed and laid-back, refined lifestyle of the people there. With each trip throughout the years many lifelong friendships were formed,” says Conde. “We wanted to share this unique lifestyle with the world. At the forefront, we knew drinks that were light and refreshing and mirrored the simplicity and elegance we experienced during our times chasing the sun would be a sandy step in the right direction,” Norton adds. In early December the brand hosted their U.S. launch, 200 of Miami’s finest gathered under the stars for the exclusive US launch of Pink Sand Spirits & Seltzers at the brand’s first pop up launch experience ‘The Pink Sand Bar’ in Edgewater. Pink Sand transformed the patio space at Expansive Miami into a sophisticated, island-inspired bar and lush oasis filled with tropical plants, bougainvillea, hibiscus flowers and fresh citrus (a nod to their flavored spirits & seltzers) bringing in a taste of the tropics to the Magic City. Guests ‘cracked open the good life,’ sipping the brand’s signature seltzers - Island Citrus Vodka & Soda, Pineapple Mint Rum & Soda, Hibiscus Gin & Soda & Grapefruit Tequila & Soda) and custom cocktails created in collaboration with Gourmet Booze including The Siren’s Sip - Pink Sand Island Citrus Vodka, fresh lime, lychee, rose, butterfly pea; Pineapple Fields Forever - Pink Sand Pineapple Mint Rum, fresh pineapple, fresh lime, mint, jalapeño essence; Hibiscus Holidaze - Pink Sand Hi - biscus Gin, West Indian sorrel, guava purée, lemon; Pink Sand Paloma - Pink Sand Tequila Blanco, sparkling grapefruit, citrus agave. The evening featured sounds by DJ Suarey and gourmet grazing tables by Epic Cheese Boards. A Pink Sand Spirits cocktail or seltzer can be enjoyed anywhere and draws inspiration from nostal- gic cocktails but with a modern flare. These ready-to-drink seltzers and spirits resonate with those who yearn for memories of carefree beach days, rekindling memories of good times past and the anticipation of good times to come.

Pink Sand Spirits & Seltzers are available exclusively in resorts and retail locations in The Bahamas and online in the U.S. through their direct to consumer website pinksandspirits.co.

NEWSWORTHY: TROPIC OCEAN AIRWAYS SANTA’S SEAPLANE TOUCHING DOWN IN GREAT HARBOUR CAY TO DELIVER BAHAMIAN CHRISTMAS CHEER

NEWSWORTHY: TROPIC OCEAN AIRWAYS

T he skies over the Bahamas dazzled a little brighter on the 2nd of December when Tropic Ocean Airways reinstated its long-held tradition of Santa’s Seaplane in partnership with Fraser Yachts and Saving the Blue. Four years since its previous flight, old Saint Nick returned to the islands of the Bahamas bringing joy and holiday spirit to a new generation of children with a plane filled with toys and festive cheer. As Tropic Ocean Airways’ seaplane gracefully landed on the cerulean waters of Great Harbour Cay, a crowd of 100 children gathered along the beach, their faces glowing with anticipation. As Santa Claus emerged from the plane door with a bellowing “Ho Ho Ho!”, the young spectators cheered in delight, knowing he was here to bring an early dose of holiday spirit to their island community. Excitement ensued for the next hours as gift after gift emerged from the plane, hand-delivered from the North Pole. Soccer balls, makeup kits, board games - the assortment seemed endless! As Santa Claus and his team of volunteer elves distributed the 150 toys, there wasn’t a sad face in sight. Beyond the toys alone, Santa’s Seaplane delivered a more profound gift - hope renewed and community con- nection rediscovered after a challenging era marked by the pandemic. The joy was palpable as Santa high- fived the older kids and welcomed toddlers for photographs sponsored by Joey Duhon of Drone Home. The afternoon became a celebration of holiday spirit and the delight of childhood rediscovered. The culminating moment arrived unexpectedly when a group of young girls requested makeup lessons from Tropic Ocean Airways’ staff. Impromptu bonding unfolded over blush brushes and lipsticks as dreams of some- day becoming professional makeup artists emerged. In the span of an afternoon, new friendships bloomed through small kindnesses and shared joys. As the setting sun signaled Santa’s Seaplane for departure, gratitude swept the community. Tropic Ocean Air- ways’ commitment to bringing holiday cheer to even more Family Islands in 2024, sparking eager anticipation. The revived initiative also cements an ongoing bond between Tropic Ocean Airways and Great Harbour Cay residents through existing air service partnerships. Most profoundly, the 150 toys and unforgettable memories will continue spreading ripples of joy in young hearts long after the seaplane fades from the dusky pink horizon. Santa’s Seaplane 2023 embodied the spirit of generosity, service and togetherness that epitomizes the meaning of Christmas for communities worldwide.

“As Santa Claus and I both originally hail from Finland, it brings me great joy that Fraser Yachts is involved in the Santa Seaplane initiative. This opportunity allows us to give back to the island communities of The Bahamas that have given and continue to give our clients so many unforgettable moments with their loved ones on the water.” – Anders Kurten, CEO – Fraser Yachts

ABACO: ELBOW REEF

ELBOW REEF, A HAVEN IN HOPE TOWN, ABACO DISCOVER PARADISE REBUILT

ABACO: ELBOW REEF

I n the heart of the Abaco Islands, where azure waters meet the sun-kissed sands, a story of resil- ience and renewal unfolds in the form of Elbow Reef, a newly opened boutique hotel and event space in Hope Town. The brainchild of Mike and Hanna, a couple who embraced Hope Town as their home after Hurricane Dorian’s devastation, the property stands as a testament to their com- mitment to the community’s revival. What was once a single-family estate shattered by the ferocious hurricane has now been reimagined and transformed into an exquisite 8-room boutique hotel, perched high in the dunes overlooking White Sound and the mesmerizing Sea of Abaco. The property’s strategic elevation not only offers breathtaking views but also captures the essence of island living with an infinity pool gazing out toward the vast ocean. Beyond its picturesque setting, Elbow Reef boasts a large deep-water dock capable of accommodating ves- sels up to 80 feet. This feature positions the hotel as an ideal destination for yachters exploring the Abaco waters. The property’s popularity extends to hosting weddings, private parties, and events, with the capa- bility of handling groups as large as 150 people. The allure of full buyouts, complete with a dedicated staff, chefs, and bartenders, elevates the experience for those seeking an exclusive island retreat.

ABACO: ELBOW REEF

A standout feature of Elbow Reef is its exclusive partnership with the Barton and Gray Mariners Club, a prestigious yachting membership club. Guests of Elbow Reef can charter one of Barton and Gray’s 44’ Hinckley Talaria picnic yachts, stationed at Elbow Reef from November to May. This col- laboration makes Elbow Reef the sole property of its kind on Elbow Cay, seamlessly blending into the Bahamian design aesthetic and embracing the island’s laid-back charm. Adding a touch of sophistication, Elbow Reef introduces Abaco’s first craft cocktail bar.
