There are 365 islands in Exumas, and Compass Cay is one of them. Like any other island in the Bahamas, Compass Cay is just a couple of square miles. Aside from being more laid-back than its neighboring islands, Compass Cay offers one of the prettiest sites in the world, making it one of the highlights of the country. This idyllic destination promises unforgettable yacht charter experiences, from white sand beaches with palm trees to swimming with the popular nurse sharks.

You'll find a safe and serene anchorage when you arrive at Compass Cay aboard your superyacht. Although there are 13 immaculate beaches here, it's not them that makes Compass Cay popular. The tamed Compass Cay sharks stuck around and multiplied over the years. Hopping in to swim with them might sound dangerous, but these nurse sharks are docile fish that love to eat creatures from the seafloor. Moreover, the recorded number of nurse shark attacks is impressively low.

Today, this site is the best to get up close and swim with the nurse sharks. Oftentimes, the tour guides will prepare food for the shark, and from there, you'll be able to swim into the water and have your picture taken as the sharks gather around and eat. You can think of these sharks as pets; they even have their names! But still, the pier provides an excellent view if you're more comfortable watching from afar.

The surrounding waters in Compass Cay are a haven for anglers, too, offering some of the best fishing opportunities in the Bahamas. Whether you're after grouper, snapper, yellowfin tuna, or the elusive bonefish, you're almost guaranteed a fresh catch to enjoy back on board your yacht. April, May, and June are the seasons for Dolphins. Meanwhile, July, August, and September are excellent for tuna fishing.

No visit to Compass Cay is complete without a trip to Rachel's Bubble Bath. This stunning natural lagoon, located on the island's northern side, gets its name from the frothy bubbles created as water from the Sound cascades over the rocky edges. It's the perfect spot to cool off after a sunny day exploring—other must-see places in the area, such as the Bat Cave and Low Tide Airport. For a different perspective, hike to the top of Compass Peak. At 92 feet high, it's the island's highest point and offers magnificent views of the surrounding Exuma Cays and the Land and Sea Park.

Compass Cay is a magnet for celebrities worldwide, so you might just find yourself rubbing shoulders with the stars during your visit. If you don't spot anyone famous, don't worry—you can still check out the "Wall of Fame" inside the main building. It's lined with photos of big names like Nicolas Cage, Shakira, Johnny Depp (who even owns a private island nearby), Tim McGraw, and more.

Compass Cay is a must-visit destination for any Bahamas yacht charter itinerary with its unique attractions and proximity to nearby attractions like Bitter Guana Cay and Thunderball Grotto.
