Lucayan Harbour and Port Lucaya - are they the same? Posted: Sat October 16, 2004 04:49 PM UTC
Can't find any good maps to figure this out so can someone tell me, is the Lucayan Harbour where the cruise ships dock and Port Lucaya, a marina, in the same place? Are they the same port with 2 names? Or, are they in two totally different locations? I will be visiting for the 1st time and am trying to figure out exactly where I'll be and what there will be to do there. Thank you!!

I'm not sure where the cruise ships dock.
Port Lucaya is the name of one of the marinas in Lucaya - it's the westernmost one. That is the one closest to the Marketplace and the Count Basie bandstand. Lucaya Village Marina is on the east side of the entrance. The hotels (such as Our Lucaya) are around the boat basin, which is too small for a big cruise ship. There are some cruise ship moorings off Lucaya near the Bell Channel Marker, but I've never seen any there.

Hi,
Lucayan Harbour is where the cruiseships dock.
Port Lucaya Marketplace is in the Lucaya area of Grand Bahama Island, just across the street from the Our Lucaya hotels (www.starwoodhotels.com) - the Sheraton and Westin Breakers Cay at Our Lucaya. Port Lucaya Marketplace's website is: www.portlucaya.com
Port Lucaya Marketplace is in a nice waterfront setting with several restaurants, bars, shops, a large straw market as well as free nightly entertainment in the main square.
A taxi from the Lucayan Harbour (cruiseship harbor) to Port Lucaya Marketplace will cost about $25 for one or two people, and $3 for each additional person. If you have luggage, they also charge $1 for each piece of luggage.
Hope this information helps you.
best regards
Carrie

If someone is visiting from a cruise ship, why would they have luggage?
If you are not landing at the airport with luggage, it is far cheaper to take a jitney bus to wherever you want to go - costs about $1. There's a stop right at the Our Lucaya hotel area. Mostly in Lucaya itself, everything is within walking distance or accessible by water taxi.
AFAIK, the harbor in Freeport is where all the big ships dock such as oil tankers and container ships. It is also the name of the airport. It is NOT a tourist location. I don't know if they call Freeport Harbor "Port Lucaya".
