Opening in 1987 by Coral World International, it was the biggest park developed by the company at the time, and it was an instant hit in Nassau becoming the leading tourist attraction in the city. It offered a museum, underwater observatory, shark, turtle and stingray pools, but also snorkeling trails and a hotel. The Observatory offered sea level and underwater marine viewing.
Coral World International sold the park to the Marriott Nassau Beach Hotel in 1995, when It was renamed ‘Silver Cay’.
