We Parked our Floating Home Inside This SUPER YACHT Oasis

🌊 Our Most Anticipated Destination – Compass Cay, Exumas! 🌊

This week, we return to a place that’s been living in our dreams for years — the hidden superyacht marina at Compass Cay, deep in the Exuma Islands of the Bahamas. Lindsey and I first saw this spot on a day excursion long ago, and ever since, we’ve fantasized about coming back on our own boat… and now, it’s finally happening. 🚤✨

🧭 Join us for an unforgettable adventure as we explore the stunning and lesser-known area around Compass and Pipe Cays:
• Swim into two breathtaking caves hidden in the rock formations 🌊🪨
• Visit the famous and surreal Rachel’s Bubble Bath – a natural ocean jacuzzi 🫧
• Take a multi-hour mangrove cruise aboard our Highfield tender
• Snorkel vibrant coral reefs and try out our new fishing spears 🎯🐟
• And finally… spend two amazing nights at the secret marina at Compass Cay, a remote haven for superyachts and nature lovers alike

🐠 What makes this hidden marina so special?
• Giant coral heads teeming with marine life
• Tons of friendly nurse sharks you can swim with
• Peaceful, uncrowded docks surrounded by wildlife
• Warm, welcoming staff and a vibe like nowhere else in the Bahamas

📍 Whether you’re planning your own Exumas yacht trip, dreaming of island-hopping in the Bahamas, or just craving some tropical eye candy — this one’s for you.
