Select your download option below


Description:

Green Turtle Cay is a good hurricane shelter with Black Sound being the best option.

White Sound has two fair-sized marinas (Bluff House and Green Turtle Club).

Black Sound has a boatyard and 4 small marinas/docking facilities.

Cruiser Highlights:

Green Turtle Cay Community Net: VHF Channel 72 at 0815 – 7 days a week.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

To get into the sounds is a bit tricky and best be done at HW.

The channel into White Sound is clear of debris post-Dorian.

There are mooring balls available in both Black and White Sounds as holding is poor.

New Plymouth is a better option for very deep draft boats.

Position:

26° 46’11″N, 77° 20’03″W (entrance to White Sound)

    Update for Green Turtle Cay by Bahamas Chatter – 12 October, 2019:
    Construction has already begun to restore homes and businesses and clear endless piles of debris. There is no water or electricity in the town. Some people have their own generators. Relief efforts continue with locals and outside volunteers coming in to help with construction, food, medical care, etc. The school miraculously survived as a shelter for the entire town until after the hurricane passed. The road that extends the length of the cay is open. Freight boats have been coming in with supplies and construction crews. A BobCat loader was donated to help fill the dump trucks with massive piles of debris. Watermakers has come in to help with supplying bottled drinking water for the islanders and construction crews. Also crews have set up a kitchen for workers with basic meals.
