SV Magic Bus

Discover the Exumas: Unparalleled Solitude & Adventure Aboard the Magic Bus

You've chartered the BVIs, you already know the dance — races for a mooring ball, Willy T's scene, crowded bays. And then you sailed out to Anegada. It felt different. Remote. Real. The way the Caribbean should feel.

Now imagine that feeling… not just once, but every single day.

Aerial view of a turquoise lagoon with small islands and a catamaran anchored nearby.

In the Exumas, solitude isn't a reward at the end of a long sail — it's the baseline. Sandbars that vanish at high tide. Nurse sharks as neighbors. Thunderball Grotto and hidden beaches with no one else around.

This isn't "remote enough." This is remote. Period.

Your Boat. Your Rules.

Magic Bus is a 54-foot catamaran with her own 18-foot center console tender—"Magic Trick."

Charter her bareboat if you want to run your own show, or add a captain if you'd rather focus on the rum punch. Either way, that tender gives you freedom the big fleets can't touch: slip off to explore a hidden grotto, anchor on your private sandbar, or pull up to Staniel Cay Yacht Club like you own the place

What You Get:

  • 5 private cabins, 5 heads, 6 showers (including the aft deck favorite)
  • 18′ center console "Magic Trick"—your ticket to everywhere else
  • Paddleboards, snorkel gear, fishing setups—toys included
  • Starlink WiFi, solar power, watermaker—modern comfort, remote location
  • Local knowledge worth more than any guidebook

Starting at $7k per week, including center console in our BnB option.

Rates & dates

Safe. Simple. Staniel Cay.

Staniel Cay is more than just a destination—it's a tight-knit island with about 85 year‑round neighbors, and that's part of the charm. Everyone knows everyone, so even a walk down the lane brings a warm nod—or a full greeting.

"This is the safest island we've ever been to. Leave your wallet on the bar, and your sandals on the beach. Both will be there the next morning."

– Buster Pike

Convenience here doesn't mean chaos. With small, easy-in-easy-out flights, no ferries or taxis, the Magic Bus tender right at the runway—meaning you step off and step aboard within minutes.

Then there's the magic: quiet anchorages, beaches with no crowds, and sunset views completely unobstructed by other boats.
