Fueling the adventure

Food & provisions.

A little planning up front means your trip starts without a hitch. Here are the best ways to stock up before you reach Staniel Cay.

Provisioning

Four ways to stock up.

Shop in Nassau · best value

Solomon's Fresh Market

Order online near the airport, choose delivery, and add your Staniel flight details. They box it and deliver to the airline two hours before departure. Tip: order frozen peas or corn as ice packs for your cheese and milk.

Shop in Ft. Lauderdale

Publix or Whole Foods

Departing FXE? Hit Publix, Whole Foods, or a specialty shop before the hangar, then hop your Makers Air flight. Greatest variety and U.S. pricing, ideal for specific dietary needs or brands.

Provision at home

Pack a cooler

Bring a cooler of dry ice and your favorite frozen goods, up to $100 per person duty-free (save receipts). Easy hack: order Omaha Steaks to arrive the day before you fly, toss them in the cooler, and go.

Shop in Staniel

Island stores

Think well-stocked 7-Elevens: essentials, liquor, and beer at roughly twice U.S. prices. Great in a pinch, but variety is limited, so don't count on gourmet items without prior arrangement.

Local shopping

The three stores on Staniel.

Small island shops, restocked by weekly boat. Shop on delivery day (usually Thursday) for the best selection.

Dining ashore

The playbook.

Dine onboard whenever you like, but three dinners ashore capture the essence of the Exumas.

01

First night · SCYC Bar

Kick off at the iconic Staniel Cay Yacht Club. The heartbeat of the island: great food, sharks off the dock, and a lively crowd.

02

Second-to-last · Fowl Cay

A picturesque dinner with top-tier service and breathtaking views at Fowl Cay Resort. Book early by email, availability for non-guests is very limited.

03

Last night · Staniel Cay

Wind down at the main SCYC restaurant (distinct from the bar), with authentic Bahamian cuisine in a proper dining setting. Reserve at the club office.
