Compass Cay sits at the mid-point of the Exuma Cays island chain, a private island whose nurse shark gathering at the marina dock and clear tidal pools have made it one of the defining charter experiences in the Bahamas. Gulf Craft is a UAE-based builder producing fibreglass motor yachts across a wide size range, including larger cruising vessels suited to the Caribbean market, known for durable construction and practical layouts at accessible price points.
Gulf Craft yachts available in the Bahamas carry three to five guest cabins, crews of five to eight, and a practical approach to charter that suits the Exumas itinerary well. These yachts emphasise outdoor deck space and watertoy deployment over formal interior volumes, matching the Bahamian emphasis on water activities and beach days over evenings in the saloon.
Weekly charter rates for Gulf Craft yachts at Compass Cay run from 127,000 to 220,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent. The Bahamas applies no VAT to charter. Gulf Craft represents the most accessible price point on the Compass Cay charter market, making the Exumas experience available to a wider range of charter budgets.
The Exumas around Compass Cay provide the same anchorages for every class of charter yacht: Shroud Cay tidal creeks, Warderick Wells reef, the swimming pigs at Big Major Spot, Thunderball Grotto at Staniel Cay, and the Bahamian community at Black Point Settlement. The destination experience at Compass Cay is not scaled by the size of the yacht.
