Arriving in Staniel Cay
The local secret

Why we say "Friday to Friday"

Island logistics are real. Fresh provisions arrive in Staniel Cay on Thursdays, so by Friday morning the shelves are full and the produce is crisp. Start on a Sunday and you're picking through leftovers.

Flight schedules line up better with a Friday start too, so you land with enough daylight to grab supplies and settle in before sunset. Begin fully stocked and stress-free.
