Staniel Cay

January 22 – January 28.

We are at the fuel dock of the Staniel Cay Yacht Club marina. Duwan is putting water into our tanks. It’s a slow process. I’m finished with the diesel, so I have time to gaze around.

SCYC is the only option here. The docks at Happy People marina have been damaged by weather, and the Thunderball marina looks (very) closed. There has been a steady stream of customers fueling up today. We’ve waited for a break in the flow to come over.

No one greeted us when we arrived. No response on the VHF, so I went down the walkway toward the bar to find assistance. Out of habit I looked at the water height on the rocks to measure how high the tide was. When the dockmaster was able to break free from helping new arrivals he came out for us.

Now I see that a couple of boats are out in the current, waiting for us to finish, trying to hold their positions. There is plenty of dinghy traffic from cruisers anchored nearby. There are also a lot of small motorboats, Boston Whalers from the colorful rental cottages, traveling to and from the area’s attractions. The wind is up. A guy in a small sailing skiff has tipped over too far, swamping his boat. A passer-by stops to hold him steady while he bails.

Where’s everyone going? Well, there’s a lot to do here.

It’s only a mile to pig beach at Big Major’s Spot.

Closer still is the Thunderball Grotto, where you can snorkel through a skylit cave. They say to go at low tide. We learned it’s better to go before the tide change and swim in when the flow is completely slack. Even shortly after low tide the current was so strong I could barely swim against it. The name Thunderball comes from the James Bond movie, some of which was filmed in the grotto.

There are two wrecked planes to see in the waters off Staniel, and plenty of small deserted cays to check out.

The island itself has beaches and rocky coastlines to explore. There are a few shops. Most of the houses are well kept, so it’s a pleasure to walk around the isle. We even saw a corn patch on King’s Highway past the church. Some guys were pulling off ears of corn. (Remember it’s JANUARY.)

The big excitement here happens on Saturdays when the supply boat comes in. It ties up at the government pier, and couple of hours are spent unloading goods for the Pink store, the Blue store and for Isle’s General store. Isle’s stays closed until all the produce is put on the shelves. There is no set time. The supply boat may have been held up by tide or weather. There may be lots of stuff to inventory. So the cruisers just gather under the gazebo outside and wait. But when the doors open it’s so nice to see shelves full of fresh vegetables, where there were only onions and potatoes the day before.

Now Duwan is finished with the water. I tip the dock guy, before he disappears again, and I walk to the bar to settle up. There is a sizable lunchtime crowd, so it takes a while to pay. I can feel the impatience of those boaters out there waiting for us to leave. Walking back to our boat I see that the tide has gone down five inches since we arrived. Oh well, as the sign under the cash register at the bar says ‘What’s the hurry? You are already here’.

So if you want to spend your vacation idling away the hours outdoors, come on down to Staniel Cay. Better wear your Teva’s in case you want to climb on rocks. And make sure your hat has a chin strap, so it won’t blow off.

We are Greg and Duwan. in 2011 we sold all our stuff, rented our house, bought a 36 foot sailboat and set sail on a nomadic adventure that has taken us to the Bahamas and all across North America.

We gave up the boat in 2016 and currently we live in a self-converted cargo van traveling around on land searching for all the treasures this life and world have to offer.

Information on the Marina

Marina policies.

SCYC Marina Rules and Policies

Dockage: SCYC cannot guarantee a particular slip, even with a reservation. However, we will do our best to accommodate requests. Dockage may be at either our South Dock (the main dock) or our North Dock (the fuel dock). Dockage Rates are based on the length of the vessel including swim platform and bow spread, not the length of the vessel at the waterline. Rates do not change if part of a vessel extends beyond the end of the dock. Rafted boats (if permitted by management) do not receive discounted rates.

Day Trips: If you leave the dock for a day trip, and return later, you may or may not have exactly the same slip. In this instance, dock hands will assist with movement of lines, fenders, new water/electric readings, etc. As out docks are “side-to” rather than back-in slips, changes in arrivals and departures involving yachts of different sizes sometimes necessitate such slip changes. Changing slips while staying in the marina: Again, due to the “side-to” nature of our marina, sometimes we must ask a marina customer to shift to a different slip. This is done only so that we can accommodate other customers and all efforts are made to minimize such moves. But sometimes they are necessary and our dock hands will assist in this instance to minimize the inconvenience.

Electric Charges: Electricity is metered. If a reading is not taken at the time of tie up and plug-in, you will be billed at the prevailing, minimum daily rates depending on the size of the plug, and the phase of the power. Three-phase power will be billed at a 30% premium over the prevailing single-phase flat rate. In the case where a meter has malfunctioned and not advanced, the flat daily rate will also apply. Electricity rates (per kwh) may change without notice. Late Check-outs: Check-out time is 11 a.m. Check-in time is 2 p.m. Late check-outs, are sometimes but not always possible, AND must be approved in advance by management. Late checkouts, if approved, are billed another day dockage.

Water Charges: Our water is metered. Please make sure a dock hand takes a beginning reading before you use water. All water is purified by an on-site Watermakers, Inc desalination plant and ozonated. It is never mingled with rainwater, well water, or any other source of water.

Damage to Dock: Any damage to the docks caused by a vessel will be the responsibility of the vessel involved. If tide or weather conditions are questionable, it is the captain’s responsibility to make this determination. Damage to the facility will be charged to the boat which causes the damage at local replacement cost.

Damage to Vessels while docking or while docked: SCYC is never responsible for damage that occurs to Vessels or tenders while docked or in the process of docking. Among other factors, strong current and changing winds can cause fenders to shift. Also, unpredictable changes in wind direction might cause rough conditions at the dock. Broken planks, protruding bolts, etc. (while addressed by our staff as soon as we see the issue) can periodically present a hazard to gelcoats and rubrails. It is the responsibility of the captain of the vessel to check for such hazards and make the necessary adjustments in handling or securing the vessel such as to avoid them. Adjustments to lines and fenders are often necessary during the course of any stay and should be checked frequently.

Internet: Available in the Clubhouse for registered Marina and Hotel guests (complimentary).

Day Trips: If you leave the dock for a day trip, and return later, you may or may not have exactly the same slip. In this instance, dock hands will assist with the movement of lines, fenders, new water/electric readings, etc. As our docks are “side-to” rather than back-in slips, changes in arrivals and departures involving yachts of different sizes sometimes necessitate such slip changes.

Fishing: Absolutely no fishing is permitted in the marina area … either from the dock or from vessels tied to the dock. The nurse sharks are pets. Any person or vessel seen harassing them will be asked to leave. Please note: by Bahamian law, nothing may be taken from the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park waters and this includes fishing of any kind. All guests are responsible for knowing Bahamian fishing regulations (click here for more information).

If you enjoy fishing, this is the place to be. Bonefish out at Harvey Cay or in Pipe Creek, both just a few minutes away. For deep-sea fishing, the expansive water of the Exuma Sound is full of grouper, snapper, dolphin, tuna and more. For the fit and adventurous, try free-diving and spear-fishing for lobster and grouper. Please note: by Bahamian law, nothing may be taken from the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park waters and this includes fishing of any kind. All guests are responsible for knowing Bahamian fishing regulations (listed below).

For kids, try bottom fishing for snappers and other smaller fish. They will enjoy non-stop action during this unforgettable experience.

Ice and Bait

Ice $6/bag. Bait (rigged ballyhoo and squid) is available.

Trash charges are $6/bag (+tax). All trash should be put in the designated trailer behind the clubhouse. Please DO NOT leave trash bags in any other area on the dock or property. Please alert our staff as to the number of bags you dispose of so that the applicable charges can be billed.

Drone Use: Due to privacy and safety concerns, drone use is strictly prohibited anywhere on and around the property and docks at SCYC. By law, use of drones anywhere in the Bahamas requires a special permit and registration with Bahamas Civil Aviation. See Bahamas drone policy BASR Schedule 27 for more information.

Weather: Because SCYC docks are exposed to the west, it may become necessary to vacate the docks in the event of strong west/northwest winds. Management will do its best to give notice when this is forecast. For your convenience, SCYC posts Chris Parker’s 3-4 day weather forecast in the clubhouse every day (except Sunday). We also post the Windfinder forecast. Please ask at the bar if you do not see that day’s forecasts posted.

Grilling: Grilling on the North Dock (fuel dock) is not permitted, either on board or on the dock itself. Grilling on your boat on the South Dock (main dock) is permitted, provided that the smoke is not a nuisance to neighbors. If you grill, please monitor wind conditions and be considerate of your neighbors and very conscious of any tenders/gasoline nearby.

Music: Loud music is not permitted at the marina (or anywhere on SCYC property). Music played at a low level is fine. As a rule, music is defined as “too loud” if your neighbors can a) hear it and/or b) might possibly be bothered by it.
