Guest Information

How can I get there?
Our guests come to Staniel Cay in many ways. Call our U.S. office at (954) 467-8920 or the Yacht Club at (242) 355-2024 for more information on scheduled and charter flights from Nassau or Fort Lauderdale. You can also contact Flamingo Air directly at (242) 377-0354. Don’t forget to bring proof of citizenship (either passport or a birth certificate and photo ID).

For Private Pilots
Before embarking, private pilots should consult the Pilots Guide to the Bahamas for navigational and other details. Staniel Cay is not a port of entry. To clear customs and immigration, we suggest either San Andros (Andros), Fresh Creek (Andros), or Chub Cay. Call us on Unicom 122.80 as you approach and we will provide complimentary shuttle service to the Yacht Club.

For Boaters
Staniel Cay is located approximately 75 miles Southeast of Nassau. You will find our marina docks have been recently renovated and expanded, with room up to 18 boats.
The approaches from both the banks (West) and The Exuma Sand (East) are relatively straightforward. However, we strongly recommend a good, recent chart for first-time visitors. The Explorer Charts and The Yachtsmans Guide regularly get excellent reviews from our marina guests. For dockage, call (242) 355-2024 if you like to make a reservation. We monitor VHF channel 16.

What’s the weather like?
No matter what time of year you choose to travel to Staniel Cay, you will experience nature at its best. In the summer months the average air temperature is approximately 86 degrees (F). In the winter months the average air temperature is in the mid 70's. Water temperatures are a pleasant 70 – 80 degrees all year long.

Wondering what to bring?
Pack comfortably and casually. While the Yacht Club's gift shop and the other island stores stock many of the essentials, we advise you bring the following: several bathing suits, sandals, sunglasses, suntan lotion/sunscreen, light cover-up clothing, a pair of long pants and windbreaker in the winter, camera and film (underwater disposables work surprisingly well), insect repellent, a good book or two, and maybe a portable music player.

Communication
The Yacht Club's cottages do not have individual telephones, but a phone, fax and internet are available for our guests to use. Pre-paid BATELCO phone cards are available in the clubhouse for use in our beautiful phone booths and internet access is available on a per-minute basis.

Medical
Staniel Cay has a small clinic with a nurse in residence, but please bring any necessary prescription medications, contact lenses solution, etc. For boaters, the nurse can be reached at the "Saint Luke's Clinic" on VHF channel 16.

Finance
There are no ATM's on Staniel Cay. The Yacht Club accepts Visa and MasterCard credit cards (5% service fee applies), as well as traveler's checks. There is no need to exchange money, as Bahamian and U.S. dollars are accepted equally by all Bahamian establishments.
