Staniel Cay is up and running. The club is fun and the people are really friendly. The marina at the club can trick you a bit because of the tides. We booked berth and they told us they had one behind the fuel berth which could take a 66 footer . All I can say is yes if you have 2 thrusters and no current . We stayed on anchor and went onto the fuel berth to drop of our guests to fly out. Good flight connections and a good genial walk to the airport from the yacht club marina .
From Bahamas Chatter re: Staniel Cay Yacht Club temporary closing for renovations:
SCYC doesn’t normally close in the fall, but we will be closing most of the SCYC facilities in October, 2017 for renovations.
The Hotel and Restaurant will close Oct. 6 and reopen November 2.
During that time, the Marina will be open for dockage, fuel, ice, and bait. However, the Marina will also be having work done on various parts so any boaters should expect construction noise if they chose to tie up.
The Bar will also be open, but in a limited capacity (no food).
Both the hotel property and the marina will be receiving significant improvements.
• All bungalows will be completely refreshed, both interiors and exteriors.
• Property walkways are being redone as well as upgrading landscaping and outdoor lighting.
• The restaurant will also be receiving expanded kitchen space to allow for greater capacity and quicker service.
• The marina docks will be completely refurbished and resurfaced.
Staniel Cay Missing Mailboat:
The Staniel Cay mail and supply boat are once again absent for want of a part. Last weeks mail boat still has not arrived. Supplies of perishable groceries are in very short supply and some of the restaurants are closed.
