Exuma Yacht Club
George Town's cruiser-friendly marina — fuel, provisions, and the social hub of Elizabeth Harbour.
Exuma Yacht Club sits in the heart of George Town on Great Exuma, directly across the street from grocery stores, restaurants, and essential services. The recently renovated marina offers 4,000 linear feet of dockage with a new breakwater providing improved protection in Elizabeth Harbour.
For cruisers finishing an Exuma Cays adventure or staging for the journey north, it provides fuel, water, engine repair services, and the kind of shore-side amenities that become luxuries after weeks in the islands. The on-site Choppy Waters Bar and Grill adds a social anchor.
Marina facilities
The marina accommodates vessels with up to 7-foot draft at high tide. Electric service includes 30, 50, and 100 amp options, with water available at the pier. The fuel dock operates from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. offering both diesel and gasoline.
Engine repair services cover inboard, outboard, and I/O motors — valuable when something breaks far from home. Shower facilities, restrooms, and WiFi serve transient crews.
George Town services
The marina's location is its greatest asset for provisioning. Step across the street to grocery stores, a liquor shop, hardware stores, and restaurants. Banks, pharmacies, and medical facilities are nearby, and the international airport is a short taxi ride away for crew changes.
Dockage rates run $2.00 per foot daily, with landing fees of $50 for stays up to three hours.
Elizabeth Harbour and beyond
Elizabeth Harbour is the social heart of cruising in the Exumas, particularly during the annual George Town Cruising Regatta. The harbour's protected anchorage draws hundreds of boats each winter season, and the yacht club serves as the shore-side hub.
From here, day trips reach Stocking Island's beaches and snorkelling, Chat 'N' Chill beach bar, and the shallow flats that make Great Exuma famous for bonefishing.
Getting there
Exuma Yacht Club is located in George Town on the western shore of Great Exuma, facing Elizabeth Harbour. The approach crosses the harbour from its various entrances — most cruisers anchor in the harbour and dinghy to the marina for fuel, water, or shore access. Contact the marina on VHF 16 for slip availability. George Town International Airport serves scheduled flights from Nassau, Fort Lauderdale, and other points.
