Marina Review for Grand Bahama Yacht Club

Reviewed by: Elton Kelley on Dec 9, 2016
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.0'

Rating: 3

Arrived afternoon of 12/8/2016. Called dockmaster on VHF16 and he responded right away. Was directed to my berth without issue. Water depth was at least 10' all the way in. The dockmaster was very helpful in setting my boat, and was very friendly and helpful in answering all of my questions, particularly as I needed to clear in. You can NOT clear in here regardless of what the books say. However, they will take you on their shuttle (boat) to the custom/immigration office and then pick you up (about a 5 minute ride). The marina itself has obvious Matthew damage and all berths are not availabe. Clearing of damage is very slow. The restroom (men's) has 3 showers, 1 urinal, and 2 commodes, and is need of repair as it is quite dated. However, it is clean and easy/quick walking distance from my slip. The marina is also fairly well protected if you need to find shelter, and the entrance is very straight forward. There is diesel and gas here, as well as a swimming pool if anyone is so inclined. No restuarant on site. In fact, there is really nothing here. You have to take the shuttle or your dinghy to get to the Lucaya marketplace. You can also walk, but that will take about 40 minutes.
