23° 32.0′ N · 75° 49.1′ W

A proper butcher and deli about 10 minutes from Exuma International Airport, widely rated the best-value meat in the Bahamas. They cut to spec, interleave with freezer paper, vacuum-pack and will pre-freeze it for the trip back to the boat.

Practical

Runs a FREE cruiser shuttle several times a week, picking up by the Exuma Yacht Club — listen on the VHF 72 Cruisers Net for the day. Boat delivery: order by Wednesday 14:00 by email for Thursday delivery, ~$15 delivery charge. Also sells fresh and frozen fish and lobster. Cash strongly preferred. The shuttle schedule and delivery cutoff come from cruiser-community sources — verify by phone before relying on it.
