Marina Review for Great Harbour Cay Marina

Reviewed by: Richard Slocum on Apr 29, 2023
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 44'
Draft: 5.0'

Rating: 5

We took our 44 ft powerboat from Ft. Lauderdale to Great Harbour Cay. We'd planned to stay 2 nights, but due to rough seas stayed 6. This is a really neat island - at first glance, "nothing to do". But lots of bike riding, low-key beach bar a bike ride away. This is a MARINA. No "yacht club"...meaning NO restaurant or any "real" stores within walking distance. Great docks (fixed), EASY docking, REALLY nice people. (There is a really small store for snacks at the end of the marina, and local fishermen sell lobster and fish at the end of the dock when they go out fishing). Bathrooms are clean, as is the laundry.. The marina organizes pizza night (Saturday) and rib/chicken BBQ (Friday night). A local car rental place will bring a rental car to the marina fro you ($80 per day) if you want to explore. There is a small village with a grocery store - it's in a house, but stocks absolutely everything. STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL basically uninhabited beaches are an easy bike ride away. Caution: Wi-fi is really slow, and cell service internet works but is only 3G. Most all boats (including us) had Starlink, which worked GREAT. All in all We had a really great time bike riding, driving the rental car, and a whole lot of nuthin' . We'll be back!
