Chub Cay, a mere 6 and 1/2 miles to the west, stands as the main port of entry, offering customs, immigration, marina facilities, restaurants, fuel, and supplies. Natural Waterway and Marina Potential: On the northern side of Whale Cay lies a two and a half mile long natural waterway, approximately 25 feet wide. With a depth of one and a half to four feet at mean tide, this waterway presents an incredible opportunity for dredging, creating an excellent anchorage and marina for boats. The open ends ensure constant water movement, adding to the allure of maritime possibilities. Historic Charm and Architectural Heritage: This island is not just a canvas for future luxury living but also holds a rich history. Built between the 1930s and 1970s by the renowned English writer Marion Carstairs, several structures grace the island, including The Great House, Guest Cottage, Music Room, Staff Dormitory, Museum, an island chapel, lighthouse and more. While many have succumbed to the passage of time, these structures all offer a unique opportunity for restoration and preservation. Utilities and Sustainability: Whale Cay is equipped with private diesel generators providing electricity to the Great House and surrounding buildings. Each structure boasts its rainwater catchment cistern, totaling an impressive 800,000 gallons across 42 catchment tanks. Well water is readily available, and sewerage disposal is efficiently managed by private septic tanks. Communication is facilitated through satellite or cellular phones. Much of the infrastructure would require restoration and updating.
