Marina Review for Marina at Emerald Bay

I think this is the only pump out service on Great Exuma now. So lovely to have floating docks and free laundry. $2.25/ft for dockage. We paid $0.42/gal for water.

Staff will take guests to the nearby liquor store to restock. There is no convenience store nearby. Restaurants and bars advertised are within Sandals resorts and a pass needs to be purchased to access those amenities.

We anchored in the bay just south of the marked anchorage. Excellent holding in sand with 10' of water. Great shelter from N through SE winds.

A pretty spot. There is a (private I think) marina and boat ramp in the bay.

Marina Review for Spanish Wells Yacht Haven

Unfortunately there are no weekly or monthly rates. We would have stayed longer if the marina would negotiate.

Facilities are top class. Air conditioned showers are huge and very clean. Laundry is new and the pool is lovely. Docks are recently refurbished.

Wreckers restaurant serves good food and has reasonable bar and food prices.

The staff, and all the locals, are very friendly and helpful.

WiFi did not reach our boat, but the marina is looking into the issue.

Don’t fill your water tank here because the water is too salty (and .50/gal). If there has been recent rain you could get quality, free water when you fill at a fuel dock.

Anchored south of Bridges Cay in 15-20kt N winds. Extreme tides due to full moon discouraged us from anchoring further west. Some rocking and wind did whip around the west of Bridges Cay. Excellent holding.

Good holding. Register with the marina (the signs say). Cable closes the harbour 10pm-5am. Supermarket, liquor store, laundry, ice, bars and restaurants walking distance from dinghy dock. Diesel and gas at fuel dock (entrance of harbour).

Fuel, souvenir/tackle and liquor store on site. Marine store has good supplies and the shipyard has additional supplies. Clean bathroom and laundry. The lighthouse is 'right there' and the neighboring marina has a bar/restaurant and swimming pool. A quick dinghy ride to any of the free docks makes sightseeing and provisioning (limited stock) a breeze

With a 15kt SE wind, we tied up to the end of the Shell (most Northern) dock and bought ice and groceries from the store across the road. 8ft at high tide.

Lovely little anchorage with a couple of free moorings. We hooked up to one. Strong currents. Drop a rope in before going for a swim. Pick up the complimentary WiFi. Watch the fishing men trying their luck.
