The Out Island Life Team

Mark and Mariah met on the remote island of Norman’s Cay, soaking in stories of the drug running wild west days of yore over cold beers at the Norman’s Cay Beach Club. When they took the plunge to live and work on a private island construction site for 1.5 years, residing together in a 20’x20′ sqft plywood box, they realized that if they could get through that, they could get through anything. They were married shortly after relocating to civilization.

They island hopped their way through the Exumas working on several private island construction projects before moving to Harbour Island full-time for 2.5 years. They now divide their time between their home in the “big city” of Nassau, and continuing to manage construction projects in Harbour Island. 

Plugging themselves as experts in all aspects of the Bahamas lifestyle, they have a wealth of knowledge and information to share about experiences living and building in remote areas. Mark is a licensed real estate agent and would be happy to assist in answering any questions about purchasing property and building in The Bahamas. Mariah is your go-to resource for travel and relocation information.

Mariah is from the Pacific Northwest but has become quite fond of sunshine and warm weather over the years. She sailed to The Bahamas in 2009 and was instantly enamored.

She started Out Island Life in 2013 while living on Harbour Island. It has since evolved from a blog, to a cooperative venture with Mark Moyle, integrating both of their knowledge and experience into the site. 

She has published two books on the Bahamas and is working on a third.
