The perfect tropical getaway

Set on a tiny island in the middle of the Exuma Cays, Staniel Cay Yacht Club offers a laid-back, tranquil haven in the Bahamas, a place to simply relax, take a swim and enjoy a good meal

Surrounded by clear, turquoise water and fringed with white, sandy beaches, Staniel Cay is one of the jewels of the Bahamas, the image of the untouched tropical paradise and an essential stopover during your private yacht charter in the Exumas.

Established in 1956, the Staniel Cay Yacht Club is a boutique resort on the island's west coast, with a collection of brightly painted bungalows and a full-service marina where you can come ashore for lunch in the friendly and informal restaurant.

The shallow waters and protected coral reef around Staniel Cay also make it a great place for snorkelling, while just off shore, Thunderball Grotto - where the 1965 James Bond film of the same name was filmed - is one of the most stunning snorkelling sites in the Bahamas.

The perfect tropical hideaway

Staniel Cay is the image of the untouched tropical paradise and an essential stopover during your private yacht charter in the Exumas

If you are coming ashore for lunch or dinner, Staniel Cay Yacht Club in the Exumas has three inviting restaurants, as well as a convivial bar, which serves simple meals alongside its famous island cocktails.

The waterfront Sea Level restaurant is the place to go for a romantic, candle-lit dinner, while The Captain's Lounge, the resort's original dining area, is a more informal setting with no reservations required. Alternatively, the alfresco Deck offers fine views over the marina and is a great place to meet friends and toast the sunset with a glass of the club's signature rum punch.

Bahamian specialties such as conch and lobster are on the menu, as well as a wide choice of salads and international dishes including steak, lamb, burgers and sandwiches.

Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the ideal place to simply relax and experience the very best of Bahamian hospitality in a beautiful, unspoiled natural setting. You can begin planning your private yacht vacation now, by taking a look at all luxury yachts available for superyacht charter in the Bahamas .

Staniel Cay Yacht Club

The centrepiece of the Staniel Cay community is the historic Staniel Cay Yacht Club; a luxurious boutique hotel with over water bungalows, marina, restaurant and bar. With close proximity to the famous Swimming Pigs it’s the gateway to the Exumas archipelago.

Staniel Cay Yacht Club is known by some as the gateway to the Exumas. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the Exumas culture while also situating yourself in the heart of all tourist action, Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the perfect place to spend a vacation.

Staniel Cay is hidden in a chain of 365 islands and cays in the Bahamas known as the Exuma Cays. Staniel Cay is about 75 miles south of the country’s capital, Nassau, and 250 miles southeast of Florida.

The original Staniel Cay Yacht Club sign at the Bar Entrance

The island is only 2 square miles with around 90 full-time residents, however, it has pretty much everything you could need on your island vacation with a bar, restaurants, post office, church, and retail shops.

There is no wonder it is on Jimmy Buffet’s list of ten best places to have a waterside drink.

History of Staniel Cay Yacht Club

Established in 1956, the Staniel Cay Yacht Club has worked its way into the Staniel Cay community and made itself a staple of the Exuma cays experience.

Today, thriving atop the Bahamas tourism industry with 14 seaside bungalows all with private porches, an 18-slip marina, a private airstrip (one of the only ones in the region), and a lively clubhouse and restaurant/ bar, the Staniel Cay Yacht Club has made a name for itself from all over the Bahamas.

Staniel Cay Yacht Club was visited by the James bond Thunderball Film crew during the filming of Thunderball in 1964.

Bar and Restaurant at Staniel Cay Yacht Club

Staniel Cay Yacht Club has a quaint bar, a full-service restaurant, and available boat rental. The restaurant is quite good, serving lunch and dinner.

The Staniel Cay Yacht Club has a full service dock and Marina

The dinner options generally include three options, mostly centered around a seafood diet. The lobster tails are enormous and a must.

Most of the food served at the restaurant is unfathomably fresh with the day’s catch being sold in the night time for dinner. The leftover which the restaurant does not take is usually sold by the fishermen on the dock in the afternoon.

The colorful flowers surrounding Staniel Cay Yacht Club.

With the classic island-themed interior design, ambient music, and a nice sea breeze, it is hard to imagine a more Bahamian night.

The bar is filled with a mixture of fishermen and locals as well as yachties and regular vacationers with the occasional celebrity drop-in. It creates a very welcoming environment. It has the conversational vibe of a hostel with travelers and locals out at sea telling their day’s worth of adventures. It makes for a great place to pick up local tips and money-saving advice from other vacationers with the same itinerary as you.

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.

Ice and Bait

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

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

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.

Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Separate, dedicated fuel dock with high-speed pumps.

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.

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.
