The Abacos are a two-hundred-mile crescent of cays sheltering a long, shallow sound, which makes them the most protected cruising ground in the Bahamas ’ the reef takes the Atlantic and the Sea of Abaco stays flat.
They were settled by Loyalists leaving America after the Revolution, and their descendants built boats here for two centuries. That inheritance shows in the clapboard villages, the accents, and the fact that Man-O-War Cay still turns out wooden hulls by eye. Hurricane Dorian struck hard in 2019; the islands have rebuilt with characteristic stubbornness.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Abacos; the rest we tailor to you.
