Practical
Position from Bahamas Marinas (24.738518, -76.233213). 24 slips (15 transient), vessels to 80 to 90 ft; listed 8 ft approach and dockside; VHF 16; office 7:00 am to 5:00 pm; phone (242) 334-6303 (Waterway Guide directory, Bahamas Marinas). Fuel, water, 30/50 A power, Wi-Fi, laundry, showers, ice, ramp; restaurant and bar listed but cruisers found it closed in 2017 to 2018. Not a port of entry. Entrance: the floating buoys are gone; follow the pole markers close to the entrance and favour the port side entering, where a sand bar has formed on the starboard side (2018). Shoaling is the big issue: a 2019 boat saw 5.5 ft at mid-tide and a January 2024 reviewer was told 4 ft on the approach: call ahead and come in on a rising tide. Very protected inside. Ocean Fox dive and fishing operation based here (older listing); 'The Bridge' fishing ground about 15 minutes out.
Best for
Fuel and a protected berth at the south end of Eleuthera (shallow-draft)
