Compass Cay is among the most consistently visited anchorages in the Bahamas charter market, a private island whose nurse sharks, tidal pools and position in the Exuma Land and Sea Park attract charter yachts from Nassau through the winter season. Westport Yachts builds in Westport, Washington, producing fibreglass composite motor yachts from 40 to 60 metres known for build consistency, comfortable interior volumes and practical operational costs.
Westport yachts available in the Bahamas carry four to six guest cabins, crews of seven to ten, and layouts designed for the kind of relaxed extended cruising that the Exumas demand. The fibreglass composite construction keeps maintenance manageable, and Westport yachts are consistently well-presented by their charter operators in the Caribbean market.
Weekly charter rates for Westport yachts at Compass Cay run from 65 to 230,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, food and marina fees. The Bahamas applies no VAT to charter. Westport occupies a solid mid-market position within the American-built superyacht segment, typically below European steel or aluminium vessels of comparable length.
The Exumas around Compass Cay provide the same anchorages regardless of vessel: Shroud Cay tidal creeks, Warderick Wells reef and park headquarters, Big Major Spot swimming pigs, Staniel Cay Thunderball Grotto and Black Point Settlement on Great Guana Cay. A Westport covers this circuit within its practical range, with a fuel stop at Staniel Cay Yacht Club mid-circuit.
