Compass Cay is a private island in the Exuma Cays where nurse sharks have gathered at the marina dock for decades and the tidal pools provide snorkelling accessible on foot from the beach. The Exuma Land and Sea Park immediately surrounds it, covering 174 square miles of protected water. Turquoise is a Turkish custom builder producing explorer-type and performance motor yachts from 40 to 90 metres, known for crossover designs suited to both open-ocean passages and sheltered island cruising.
Turquoise yachts available in the Bahamas combine the structural weight of an expedition build with contemporary interior design, carrying four to eight guest cabins, crews of eight to fourteen, and large fuel and water capacities. Their beam and hull form provide generous deck space relative to length, suited to the outdoor emphasis of Bahamian charter.
Weekly charter rates for Turquoise yachts at Compass Cay run from 200,000 to 1,200,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, food and marina fees. No Bahamian VAT applies. Explorer-type yachts from Turquoise transit from the Mediterranean to the Bahamas each November, arriving for the peak season with full service records.
The Exumas suit the Turquoise explorer format. The protected anchorages within the Land and Sea Park are ideal for a vessel designed to stop in remote locations, and the larger fuel and water capacity reduces dependency on the limited infrastructure between Nassau and Georgetown. Shroud Cay, Warderick Wells, Big Major Spot, Staniel Cay and Black Point Settlement form the circuit; Turquoise yachts can extend north or south as conditions and schedule allow.
