Compass Cay is a private island in the Exuma Cays, midway through the Exuma Land and Sea Park chain, known for its resident nurse sharks, clear tidal pools and a small marina that has served charter yachts for decades. Abeking and Rasmussen is a German yard on the Weser estuary producing both sailing and motor yachts, known for engineering precision and structural longevity.
Abeking and Rasmussen yachts available in the Bahamas include aluminium sailing yachts and custom displacement motor yachts from 45 to 75 metres, typically with five to eight guest cabins and crews of ten to fourteen. The finish is precise rather than decorative, and these yachts carry structural integrity that suits extended offshore passages.
Weekly charter rates for Abeking and Rasmussen yachts at Compass Cay run from 420,000 to 1,150,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, food, marina fees and crew costs. No Bahamian VAT applies.
Compass Cay sits at the heart of the finest cruising ground in the Bahamas. The Exuma Land and Sea Park north covers 174 square miles of protected water. Warderick Wells has a mooring field and some of the best Bahamian reef diving. Staniel Cay to the south has the Thunderball Grotto snorkel site and a fuel dock. Black Point Settlement on Great Guana Cay provides a genuine Bahamian village experience within a short passage.
