..Cruising the Abacos & the Bahamas
The Bahamas and, in particular, the Abacos are a "yet to be found" charter destination. With pristine, warm clear waters, the Sea of Abaco is protected from the open Atlantic by both the chain of Abaco Cays and the 4th largest barrier reef in the world.

The water clarity & colours even show up from space in this satellite shot....

This wonderful cruising ground is very uncrowded for if you count the boats from the fleets, which include The Moorings, ABC Charters, SailAbaco.Com, you will be sore pressed to come up with 50 boats operating in this 50-80 mile cruising ground.

If you do the same counting exercise for the BVIs, you would easily account for 500+ boats within just a 35 mile cruising ground.

These 2 photos show the freedom of anchoring almost anywhere &snorkelling on wonderful reefs:

For those who want to see Bahamas Islands beyond the Abacos, our larger boats can roam further afield with experienced captains.

So with this background, we offer both charters on our own boats based in Hope Town, Abaco, or if you prefer, we can help you find other boats sailing from other islands in the Bahamas...

...Mothra, Lagoon 37

Mothra is a custom-designed Jenneau Lagoon 37, built by TPI of Warrick RI. Mothra is the only one they built with a custom interior and extra heavy duty scantlings. We believe that she’s the finest example of this legendary boat afloat.
