Chub Cay: A Tropical Paradise in the Bahamas

Getting There

• Car Rental

  If you are in Abaco Islands and have rented a car, start your journey by driving to Marsh Harbour, which is the largest town in Abaco. From Marsh Harbour, head southeast on Don MacKay Boulevard (Route 1) towards the airport. Continue straight until you reach the junction with Route 2 and turn right. Follow Route 2 to the end of the road, which will lead you to the ferry terminal. Here, you will need to park your car at the designated parking area (daily parking rates apply).

• Ferry Service

  From the ferry terminal in Marsh Harbour, board the ferry that services Chub Cay. Ensure you check the ferry schedule in advance as it can vary. The ferry ride to Chub Cay typically takes about 30-45 minutes. A ticket for the ferry costs around $50 per person one-way, so be prepared for this additional expense. Keep in mind that ferry schedules are subject to change, so it’s advisable to arrive early and confirm your trip.

• Private Boat Charter

  Alternatively, if you prefer a more private experience, consider chartering a private boat from Marsh Harbour. Local companies offer charters to Chub Cay, and you can arrange this in advance. Prices vary depending on the boat size and charter duration, but expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $600 for a private trip. This option offers flexibility in terms of departure times and the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful waters of the Bahamas.

• Public Transportation

  If you do not have access to a car, you can use local taxis or public buses to reach Marsh Harbour from other parts of Abaco. Buses are available from areas like Treasure Cay or Hope Town, and the fare is usually around $5-10 depending on your starting point. Once you arrive in Marsh Harbour, follow the steps mentioned above to reach the ferry terminal.
