About the area

Over Yonder Cay is located in the Exuma Chain in the southern part of The Bahamas, just 265 miles (425 km) southeast of Florida.

The local area has a wonderful selection of attractions to tempt visitors to explore the Exumas Chain, many as close as 15 minutes away by boat.

The island’s fleet of fast and comfortable watercraft includes a 31 ft (9.5 m) Jupiter Marine centre console, a robust 28 ft (8.5 m) Panga and a jet-propelled SAFE boat, which can access the shallowest of waters. The local Bahamian guides have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the surrounding waters.

To explore further afield, visitors can take to the sky for a seaplane tour to a remote sand spit for a picnic and beach party, or visit the legendary Norman’s Cay and its sunken seaplane wreck.

Private jets can fly directly to Nassau or Great Exuma, and commercial flights operate daily from the US and Europe to Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau. Over Yonder Cay is located just 70 miles (110 km) from Nassau and Great Exuma, both of which are just 30 minutes away by seaplane.
