About Chub Cay & the Berry Islands

The history of Chub Cay is without equal in the island paradise of The Bahamas. Legendary throughout the world for sport fishing and diving, Chub Cay also has miles of sandy beaches and a protected harbor. As a private island, Chub Cay has been the exclusive retreat for a very select membership. At Chub Cay Resort and Marina you can enjoy a brand new Chub Cay Clubhouse with full service hotel, restaurant, indoor and outdoor bars, an infinity pool overlooking our amazing Sunset Beach, and all the amenities.    

Chub is part of the Berry Islands, a chain of about 30 islands and over 100 small cays, often referred to as the ‘Fish Bowl of the Bahamas’. The Berry islands are relatively undeveloped with only one town on Great Harbor Cay. Don’t be surprised to be the only one wandering around the many white sand beaches.

Chub Cay is perfectly located being right at the pocket of the tongue of the ocean on one side, and miles of sand flats on the other.  The tongue of the ocean is a deep water trench, reaching depths up to 6600 feet, surrounded by coral reefs full of fish. The TOTO trench was carved during the ice age, ice sheets locked the water in on land which eroded into canyons. After the ice age ended and the water melted it filled up the shelf when water retired to sea level. On the sand flats you will see a beautiful calm ocean where the water color changes to 9 shades of blue, giving us protected access to explore the other islands.
