Compass Cay is the Exumas at their most distilled: a private island, a small marina, nurse sharks at the dock, tidal pools for snorkelling, and the Land and Sea Park stretching north for 40 miles of protected water. Christensen Yachts builds in Vancouver, Washington, producing fibreglass composite motor yachts from 50 to 60 metres that combine American structural pragmatism with a comfortable, liveable interior aesthetic.
Christensen yachts available in the Bahamas carry five to seven guest cabins, crews of ten to twelve, and layouts designed around extended cruising rather than point-to-point passages. The fibreglass composite construction reduces maintenance complexity, and the fuel efficiency is competitive within the displacement hull class at this size.
Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts at Compass Cay run from 75,000 to 240,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, provisions and marina fees. No Bahamian VAT applies. Christensen offers strong value within the American-built superyacht segment.
The Exumas around Compass Cay reward systematic exploration. The Land and Sea Park runs through Shroud Cay, Warderick Wells, Hawksbill Cay and Bell Island before reaching Highborne Cay at the northern end. South of Compass Cay, Staniel Cay Yacht Club provides diesel; Thunderball Grotto requires a dinghy at high tide; Big Major Spot has the swimming pigs that have become one of the Bahamas most photographed attractions. The village of Black Point on Great Guana Cay offers a Bahamian bakery and a local gathering atmosphere.
