The marina at Chubb is in bankruptcy proceedings and they are charging extortionate rates for dockage, even for a short check in. The last time we were at Chubb there were 7 or 8 boats ahead of us and only one person processing. It took us over 4 hours to clear in and about $300 in dockage. There is really not a lot to see at Chubb other than the expensive sport fishing fleet, and Nassau is convenient to the Exumas.
