Castaway Cay

A private Bahamian island of powder-white sand and calm turquoise shallows, built purely for a day of ease

All Cruise Ports

About the Port

Castaway Cay sits among the Bahamas' Abaco Islands, a small private outpost of coral sand and clear, shallow water reserved for a single day of leisure. Beaches stretch along both the family shoreline and quieter adult-only stretches, while the interior offers bike paths, hammocks, and shaded walking trails through native scrub and pine. Snorkeling trails mark out shallow reefs just offshore, giving swimmers an easy look at tropical fish without a boat.

Because the island exists solely to receive visiting ships, arrival is simple: vessels dock directly at a purpose-built pier, so there is no tender ride and no town to navigate. Days here move at an unhurried pace, built around swimming, paddling, and open-air dining near the water. It suits travelers seeking a low-effort, high-comfort stop between busier ports, with warm shallows and soft sand standing in for any sightseeing.

Pavlus Recommendations

How our planners would spend a day in Castaway Cay.

Snorkel the Marked Reef Trail

Follow roped-off shallow trails just off the family beach to spot parrotfish and small reef life; gear rental stands sit right at the sand, so no boat or booking is needed.

Bike the Island Loop

Rent a bike near the pier and pedal shaded paths through native pine and scrub, an easy way to see beyond the beach in under an hour.

Relax on Serenity Bay

Head to the adults-only stretch of sand for calmer water and fewer crowds than the main family beach; arrive early since loungers go fast.
