Marinas or Anchorages Near to the Exumas

South Andros? As in crossing the bank south of Andros or as in cruising the coast of Andros to the south?

note that Rudder Cut can be very nasty on an outgoing tide. Getting to the cut from the west along side Musha and Rudder Cut Cay only has about 6’ MLW. Galliot Cut, just a few miles north is a much better option

from south bight it s a straight shot across the TOTO and bank on the decca “channel” which will get you to the Staniel area

The best anchorage at Lee Stocking is Williams Bay, accessible from Adderly cut to the north or Rat Cut to the south. Follow the Explorer recommended tracks for 6’ MLW at the shallowest spots
I love Lee Stocking. Multiple nice beaches and trails. Don’t miss the Cliff Walk along the the sound side heading south from the cliff at Williams’s Bay.

While you could get from the bank to the sound thru pudding cut at the northern tip of great exuma, the area between the bottom of the TOTO and the Exumas is pretty much uncharted. Not sure it is worth trying unless you have a very shallow draft

Looking at Explorer charts, there is Lark channel at the bottom of the Toto that leads to the Junentos and then Crooked and Acklins. Charts aren’t very precise in the area though and there are shallows and coral heads

... and the dangerous entrance with NE swells.

Yea you can go from Rudder Cay to Cave on the bank side along Musha. About 6 1/2 MLW. Explorer charts track is right on target. Navionics is wrong on that stretch as usual.


June should be ok at emerald. It w not the wind waves but NE swells that cause issues.

Exuma Yacht club has diesel, in Gtown. Docks aren’t in good shape but the fuel is good

Yeah they could use fresh lumber. For years the rumor has been that the owner of the place is Eddie Irvine, of formula One (almost) fame. He also had a private cay and Home at the end of little Exuma.
