TRAFFIC
1) Foot Traffic. Once completed, the Indigo Bay Development will have a small hotel (or series of rental bungalows or similar). Between occupied bed space and local residents, there will be sufficient foot traffic to support a robust dinner service.
2) Automobiles. Most locals drive. We fully expect to have a stable “regular” customer base who is within a short drive to the restaurant. In fact, for many people living in and around Philipsburg there are limited evening dining choices that have readily available parking. The Indigo Bay location will have sufficient parking and a great ambiance to get these regulars.
3) Shuttle. It is not decided whether or not Blue Water will initiate its own shuttle service. It is an idea with merits, but there are other more expedient methods.
4) Taxi Association. This will bring a tremendous amount of cruise ship passengers to us. Presently the taxi association shuttles hundreds of cruise ship passengers to Sunset Beach Bar in Maho. It can take up to an hour or more in season each way for the passengers to get there. Blue Water is a short 5-10 minute drive each way depending on traffic for the cruise ship passengers. The Taxi Association will bring a substantial amount of lunchtime diners and beachgoers from the ships in season. With the Taxi Association (like with Sunset) there are always vehicles waiting to take passengers back to the ship. Getting a quick ride to and from is not going to be an issue. However, we would prefer the passengers stay on our beautiful beach and pool bar while eating our food and enjoying Blue Water rum up to the last minute before returning to the ship.
5) Water Taxi. Indigo Bay will be constructing a pier and small marina that will attach to the boardwalk that will go around the bay. The Water Taxi Association already has plans to include Indigo Bay in its Water Taxi route and is only a short 5 minute boat ride to the cruise ship terminal. We anticipate receiving quite a few customers via Water Taxi.
6) Boat Service. Like with the proposed shuttle service you mentioned, we’ve considered adding our own water shuttle service. But again, this is only a consideration at this point and we will have to give this idea further thought in the future when the Indigo Bay pier is closer to being ready to receive customers.
Additionally, Indigo Bay is planning on creating a commercial area close to the Blue Water Bar & Grill site. This will host various shops and entertainment options and act as a draw to bring people to the Indigo Bay area. This in turn will lead to additional foot traffic for Blue Water Bar & Grill.
