Over Yonder Cay is a 72 acres resort / operating business private island in Bahamas, Bahamas. It is offered for whole-island rental: US$308,000 / week (whole island) · sleeps 30. This is an editorial profile drawn from public record, clearly attributed, not our listing.

Summary

Over Yonder Cay is a 72-acre Exuma island rented whole from a publicly quoted USD 44,000 per night for up to twelve guests, with a per-person surcharge scaling to around thirty. Single villas are available from US$15,000 per night. It is notable as a green-energy showcase — powered largely by wind and solar — with a deep-water marina, private golf and its own seaplanes. All-inclusive of food, drink and air transfers, it functions as a fully serviced flagship-tier Bahamian buyout. For a family office it offers turnkey exclusivity with direct seaplane access from Florida and a distinctive sustainability story.

Land & Waterfront

The island covers 72 acres in the Exuma Cays, about 200 miles from Florida, with beaches, a golf offering and a deep-water marina capable of hosting sizeable yachts. Four beachfront villas are arranged around the shoreline, leaving open ground for golf, tennis and grounds. The surrounding turquoise Exuma waters suit diving, watersports and yacht-based cruising. The land-and-water experience is a polished resort-estate one, combining classic Bahamian beaches with unusually developed amenities — a green-powered island engineered for self-sufficient, activity-rich stays.

Access & Utilities

Access is a standout feature: two eight-seat seaplanes fly guests directly from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, or from Nassau and Georgetown, with the Staniel Cay airstrip a short boat ride away. The island runs on roughly 96 percent renewable power from three wind turbines and a solar field, backed by generators, with satellite-linked Wi-Fi throughout and a deep-water marina for yachts. A full resident team of chefs and instructors supports the operation. The practical read is a well-connected, self-powered island that removes the usual multi-leg transfer friction.

Ownership & Use

Over Yonder Cay is a rental only, with no ownership available. The core proposition is a whole-island buyout of its four villas and amenities for up to about thirty guests, all-inclusive of dining, drinks and seaplane transfers, with single-villa stays as a lower entry point. Facilities span golf, tennis, a cinema, two fitness centres and a private yacht fleet, all staffed. Its combination of renewable-energy engineering, direct Florida access and full-service delivery places it among the Bahamas' flagship rentals, well suited to family groups and events seeking exclusivity with an environmental edge.

Provenance

A former small Exuma fishing outpost acquired by the Bosarge Family Office (Dr. Ed Bosarge, Quantlab Financial) in 2008 and rebuilt over five years into an all-renewable private-island resort, completed in March 2012. It has never been sold and operates only as a whole-island charter.
