Crab Cay...
Exumas' Private Island Sanctuary
Even in a country like the Bahamas, brimming
with beautiful beaches, spectacular sunsets, and the trade
winds softly caressing your skin like a cool silk-scarf
, Crab Cay is one of those
very special places. Everything about Crab Cay comes
together in a way like no other island. Search the entire Caribbean
just as the original
colonist, botanist William
Walker did
in the 1700's. Like him, you will search in vain. Then you
too will find Crab
Cay, offering
a singular lifestyle set far apart in the ways of private
islands.
Breath-taking banquets for the eye. The shoreline
of Crab
Cay undulates
into many picturesque inlets and perfect beaches, every turn
you make is a scene that alone, serves up enough beauty to
last a lifetime.

 Tradition. Hints of the island's past are
revealed in the ruins of the old plantation house. Stone walls
made
long
ago show
here and there through the dense growth. The island embodies
a sense of history, incorporating the ruins into the
grand design and using the historic remains of the manor
and terraces
as treasured features in the central island park.

Nature at its most complementary.
The gardens of the old plantation once again spring into living
colour
with
plantings
of tropical
luxuriance.
The natural foliage flourishes in the island's fertile soil,
richly laced with tropical plants established hundreds of years
ago, many not found elsewhere.
The natural
beauty of the island is a backdrop for island-style amenities
of distinction demanded by those who seek modern-day perfection.
Each
private estate on Crab Cay is waterfront
and some have two views- one the serene inner Elizabeth Harbour
with Great Exuma Island in the distance, the other the Atlantic
waters of
Exuma Sound.
 The
estates of Crab Cay are in a word, large.
Using natural foliage and the rolling topography of the
land to create private enclaves, each home becomes a hidden
retreat, a world unto itself. But when the mood strikes,
members will be able to emerge and enjoy exclusive elegant
island-style amenities reserved for their use only.
~Crab Cay Club~
Exclusive Crab Cay Club,
the
dominion of Crab Cay's estate owners, offers
access to the island's deluxe private amenities. Membership
is by invitation
only. The Crab
Cay Marina will serve up the ideal return point
for the sailor dreaming of an upcoming voyage into the
beauty of the Exumas. A near-perfect natural harbour
behind a protective
guard island will be a mega yacht basin with access from
the deep waters of Exuma Sound.

But Crab Cay has one of
the rarest attributes that an island can have, one that places Crab
Cay apart
from most, if not all private islands.
Crab Cay is an
island that is
set very
close
to
the
mainland, making living... and getting there... so much
more convenient. One
finger of the island comes within 200 feet of Great Exuma.
A few minutes after touching down at the
Georgetown International Airport,
you
are at the mainland base owned and operated by the Club,
stepping onto the island's private Hinckley tender.
Nearby Georgetown offers services and shops. World-class
golf awaits at Emerald Bay. The world's best deep sea
fishing, and
experienced guides, are a phone call away.

Then
there is the practical side. With
the mainland so close, the basics... electricity, water
and communications...
are supplied
to the
island. A push-button ferry means staff and
supplies can come from the mainland daily, allowing the island
to return to a highy private experience every evening as the
sun sets.
Crab Cay
is the culmination of many years of searching for the perfect
island, not just for its historic founders, but as well,
its present-day founders. Continuing the dream of its
first
inhabitant, Crab
Cay is
pure, perfect sanctuary for people and nature
alike.
For
those seeking a residence of distinction, Crab
Cay
offers exclusive island lifestyles an hour from the
U.S. mainland in the heart of the world-renowned Exumas.
