Alvin “Bucky” Perry - VP, Margaritaville At Lanier Islands

Bucky Perry leads the overall operations and provides oversight of Margaritaville at Lanier Islands for ownership. His responsibilities include the administration of the seasonal water park, restaurants and bars, including LandShark Bar & Grill, License to Chill Snow Island (snow tubing, ice skating, light show, and more for the winter season), Port of Indecision Marina with wet and dry slips, Harbor Landing Marina including boat rentals and margarita cruises aboard excursion yachts, and Camp Margaritaville RV Resort with luxury RV sites, lakefront cabins, and glamping tent cottages.

Bucky has a great passion for his work; he started working at the park as a summer lifeguard during high school. He continued to work at the park during his college career at the University of Georgia. He rapidly excelled through management positions from Assistant to Water Park Manager early in his career. Each year, he took on more and more areas of responsibility with great success and was promoted to Director of Operations. In early 2018, SHD’s affiliate acquired the entertainment and recreation portion of the existing resort; Bucky was promoted to Vice President. He has led the on-the-ground oversight of continuous park improvements alongside Darby Campbell. He has distinct business insight and understanding for constant improvement of the property, the guest experience, and the financial success of the venture.
