About This Island

Nancy Skinner’s Cay is a private island gem located in the stunning Exuma Cays of The Bahamas. Located near Georgetown, the main town on Great Exuma, this island offers both easy access to mainland Exuma and privacy away from the more populated Exuma Cays. On the north side of the 38-acre cay, the future owners can enjoy an irregular shore and clear shallow waters that run deep with water channels. The south side offers a scenic slope down to a marl and mangrove swash. For the adventurous, there is a small yet prominent mouth cave that stands 12 feet (3.7 m) above the high-water mark. And if that’s not enough, at the northeast end of the cay lies a bluff where fresh water can be obtained. An added bonus, shallow water with a deep channel flows along the western portion of this cay and the cays to the south.

The Caribbean hurricane belt sits north of 12°N latitude. Southern Caribbean (Aruba, Curaçao, Trinidad, Grenada) lies below this line and historically sees less than one major storm per decade — about 1/10th the risk of Bahamas or Cayman.
