Exuma Yacht Club

On arriving I calles on #9 and on #16 bit nobody answered. We waited a while and we was already about to enter at the slip the docmaster arrived and moved the little motorboat in the very entrance of the slip. It would be a good idea to equipe the docmaster with a mobile VHF. Same Story when we like to leave the marina. As nobody responded by VHF, i went to the Office- nobody was to find to move the little Motorboot which again blocked the entrence of the slip. I think it would need little to make the docmaster independent from his his other tasks to take care of arriving and departing boats.

Nice spot! Wednesdays are the best

If you plan on visiting this marina, DO NOT. This place should be condemned and Dockwa should be embarrassed for recommending it. Days after booking we were told that due to unforeseen circumstances they lost electricity and should have it restored quickly. The entire electrical system was removed weeks ago and will not be restored for months. The dock looks like it can collapse at any minute and has plywood covering all the broken planks. The dock master Ryan is doing his best to accommodate but this marina should be shut down.

We were very impressed with the service provided by Ryan and in particular, Pat, during our stay. We stayed during a multi-day blow and could not have felt safer. Pat checked our lines several times a day and adjusted as necessary due to wind direction changes. There was no power at our slip, which was fine as we had a generator and solar panels, so this was not an issue. Pat and his team even tried to help us source a fitting for our water maker. Lastly, the conch salad prepared fresh at the restaurant was a real treat. Will definitely recommend EYC to our friends and fellow boaters.

Great staff and dock assistance with Pat and Ryan. Would be great if they had power. Very convenient to food and shopping.

Staff was Super and accommodating. I would give 5 stars if we had electric…but they were working on it while we were there. Coming back soon.

Date of Visit: March 17, 2025 Overview: My experience at Exuma Yacht Club (EYC) in Georgetown was unfortunately disappointing due to misleading information and unexpected charges, though there were some positive aspects worth noting. Communication & Transparency: I clearly communicated by phone on March 17 that I needed only a few hours at their dock to take on diesel fuel and water while clearing into the Bahamas for a Temporary Cruising Permit. The staff acknowledged this request but directed me to make a reservation through DOCKWA nonetheless. Billing Issues: Despite explicitly stating I would NOT stay overnight and only required a few hours for obtaining my Cruising Permit, fuel, and water, EYC charged a full overnight dockage fee for my 5-hour stay. When I returned the following day to discuss this charge, I was informed that "they only provide fuel and water to vessels that stay at EYC" - information that was not disclosed during my initial communication. Value: Due to the unexpected dockage charge, what should have been a routine fuel stop turned into an extremely expensive proposition. The effective cost of diesel ended up at approximately $9.60 per gallon when including all fees incurred. Staff & Facilities Ryan, the dock hand, deserves recognition for his excellent service. He was extremely helpful with fueling operations and line handling, providing a positive element to an otherwise frustrating experience. Current Condition: It should be noted that EYC is currently in recovery mode from hurricane damage. Renovation work is underway to replace missing deck boards on portions of the docks, and electrical service is being restored throughout the fuel dock area. These ongoing repairs may explain some operational challenges, though they do not justify the lack of transparency regarding fees. Recommendation: Boaters seeking to fuel up and clear customs in Georgetown should be aware of EYC's policy that apparently requires payment for a full day's dockage regardless of actual time spent at their facility. This "bait and switch" approach was disappointing and unnecessarily expensive. I would recommend exploring alternative options if possible.

The EYC is clearly trying to build back what looked to be a decent marina at one time. Difficult to reach on the radio, but responsive on email, we were able to book a slip immediately. We needed fuel and were told that only guests can get it, so we topped off then tied up. Fuel price seemed in line with the Bahamas ($5.70/gallon). The depth in an around the docks was 9-11 feet at high tide and as we left (on an outgoing tide) we saw 8 feet. Ryan at the dock was helpful with fuel and getting tied up (he will answer his cell phone if you call him). They have water on the docks and looks like they are working to reinstall the power lines, but did not have it working on 3/14/25. The facilities are limited but functional (restrooms and shower) and there is a nice bar and restaurant right there. Super convenient to Immigration and Customs and the grocery. Felt secure.

The marina staff was good and very responsive.

The Marina is improving. Electricity is very limited, and while they are trying to rebuild the docks, it is coming very slowly. location is great. The restaurant is OK. We will come back.

Very choppy…but not their fault!

Friendly and helpful staff. Pat is an awesome guy who is very knowledgeable and helpful. Great place to dock. Close to restaurants and grocery stores! 👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed our time there very much!

This is an up and coming facility. Location is convenient to everything in Georgetown. There is a new protective breakwater. Lots of work to do still but the dock master and his staff are committed to improving this facility and cruisers should consider supporting this effort.

Livvy and the rest of the crew at EYC are awesome!!!

People were GREAT! The off dock facilities were HORRIBLE. No shower / restroom

I want to specially thanks to Mr Livi (dock master and Manager) for the extra effort that he is investing to recover the marina after the storms damages. We spent a couple of nights using the facilities for docking, water and fuel, and we understand that the marina has to invest a lot of resources to be 100% operative and it takes time and bureaucracy. Special attention when approaching, the charts are not precise and the entrance it's not marked, a couple of green and red marks would be very helpful. We are coming back for sure, because the most important for us is to work with a very professional people like EYC staff. Thanks.

Great spot and staff is great. conveniently located in the best part of the island. All the staff and helpers on the dock are wonderful. Can be little Tolly at night at times. A must stay Place for sure.

Be aware! The marina charges a $40 "landing fee" when you come to fuel. We never "landed" anywhere except to buy fuel. Didn't go to the store or restaurant. Thought it was a mistake but they said no. Couldn't find anything on their website informing of this charge. We took over 300 gallons. Also, there are 2 boats docked on each side of the fuel dock. If you are over 60' forget it and be very experienced parallel parking. Dockmaster was very nice and helpful.

We had electrical hookup and it worked flawlessly during our 2 day stay. The water was great quality. Two employees helped us dock our sailboat. The bar/restaurant food was delicious. All the employees were friendly.

Not a fancy mainland type yacht club, but reasonable pricing, /#d surprisingly some of the best dining in George Town. Definitely a bit bumpy with an E or SE wind, but an all new stone breakwater will eliminate that when complete. It is about 50% complete now, 5/24. Docks are a bit tired and rustic, but are being upgraded. Excellent location, with grocery across the street, and laundry, bank, liquor and restaurants all a short walk away. The only in-town marina and diesel. A 5 for location, but a 4 for the condition of facilities.

Reservation confirmed for Sunday only to learn they are closed on Sundays. No response to VHF radio. Phones not answered. MINIMAL protection from prevailing winds, resulting in gel coat damage. Electric NOT metered, $100/day for 50 amp service. Staff are friendly and are helpful.

There was not enough power to run 50amp plug. It provided safe departure for guests with windy conditions. Docks still need some work and electrical needs to be available. Again it provided what we needed.

It is very convenient to town, stores, restaurants, etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility is under construction and repair. So, we had no electric and no water as of 3/23/24. Also they are constructing a breakwater which was noisy and dusty. The finger docks are short, about 25 feet, and fixed. I am sure when they finish up construction, this will be a 5 star facility!

1st Dominique, Jamal, & Joel are amazing staff. However, Exuma Yacht Club is the worst marina I've ever experienced. No electric & the electric they did manage produced only 67 volts (which damage a boat). No shower. No laundry. Run down dock.
