located about 30-minutes by boat
from Providenciales, is home to The
Meridian, a private club consisting of
38 private homes and a 13-room
beach club.
Legend has it that in 1492, Pine Cay
was Columbus’ first stop in the New
World. One can only wonder why,
when Columbus witnessed Pine Cay’s
powder white beaches and calm
turquoise waters, he just didn’t raise
his flag and stay forever.
Atabeyra’s passengers luxuriated for
an hour in Pine Cay’s shallow waters.
This serene stop could only be
described as paradise at its finest.
What Would Johnny
Depp Do?
On the way back to the Atabeyra
home port at The Blue Haven Resort
and Marina, it was time for the
passengers to reflect. You didn’t
need Happy Juice to keep from
smiling after a relaxing day sailing, a
JoJo sighting, and a wonderful
escape to the shores of Pine Cay.
Around 4:00 in the afternoon, the
Atabeyra docked, and passengers
who began the day as strangers
ended their journey as friends. As
the last guest stepped upon the Blue
Haven dock, the 70s disco song
“Good Times” played softly from the
Atabeyra P.A. system.

If you’re ever asked to sail on a rum
runner in the Turks and Caicos
Islands, you’ll be missing a “good
time” if you say anything but “yes.”
How many opportunities do you get
to star in a scene that usually
headlines Johnny Depp?
