A sailing yacht charter trades a little speed for something quieter and more elemental. Under sail the yacht heels gently, the engines fall silent and the passage between islands becomes part of the pleasure rather than a transfer.
Sailing yachts and catamarans in Abacos range from nimble performance cruisers to large crewed sloops and ketches. Catamarans in particular suit these waters, with shallow draft for close reef anchorages, wide stable decks and bright twin hull interiors. Every yacht carries crew who handle the sails so guests simply enjoy the ride.
Weekly rates range from about 40,000 Euros for smaller sailing yachts and catamarans to over 800,000 for large crewed sailing superyachts, with many fine options near 150,000 to 250,000 Euros. A charter is quoted plus expenses, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering fuel, food, drinks and dockage. The best yachts and dates book far ahead, so early enquiry secures both.
In the Abacos, the reward is the Sea of Abaco itself, a sheltered ribbon of turquoise between the barrier cays. Hope Town, Great Guana Cay and Green Turtle Cay are all within an easy hop, making this one of the most relaxed and rewarding cruising grounds in the Bahamas.
