Bahamas Great Abaco sailing vacation

Boarding will start at 6:00 pm in Marsh Harbour Marina. That evening we will serve you dinner and discuss itinerary for the week.

In the morning we will set sails and make our way to Great Guana cay. There we will anchor in a lovely cay near Fishers Bay. This place is the home to the world famous Nippers Bar with its equally famous Sunday hog roast. Take a walk and enjoy one of the most beautiful white sand beaches, photos of which you may find in top glossy travel magazines. Beach combing, snorkeling, diving, or just enjoying a relaxing stroll along the beach.

In the morning we will sail to Man of War, a sleepy, but prosperous and beautifully maintained village. The Albury family is famous for their Bahamian work boats that they continue today. Relax on the beach or snorkel. Snorkeling can be found on the north ocean side of the island, a short 15-minute walk away.

After lunch we will make our way to Hope Town, one of the most picturesque harbors in the Bahamas. Here you will find famous red and white striped lighthouse, one of only three kerosene lighted. You will be surprised to know that it is still being used by sailors in the Bahamas. It also provides an amazing view over cruising grounds. Hope Town is a charming place with number of shops, restaurants and historic museums.

Thanks to shallow-draft catamarans, you can easily step off the boat and wade through the crystal-clear blue waters to reach Sandy Cay National Park. Here, you can enjoy lunch and explore some fantastic snorkeling. The shallow waters and soft sands create the perfect setting for a relaxing beach and snorkel experience. After lunch, we sail to the scenic Little Harbour, one of the most picturesque spots in the Bahamas. Once ashore, be sure to visit Pete’s Pub & Gallery, a renowned beach bar and art gallery that adds a unique charm to the area.

Tahiti Beach, located on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas, is a stunning, secluded paradise known for its soft white sand, shallow turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees. Accessible only by boat or foot, it offers a peaceful retreat perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. At low tide, a sandbar emerges, creating an idyllic spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding sea.

After a delicious breakfast we will head back to Marsh Harbour with a short stop in Matt Lowes Cay. Enjoy swimming in the Sea of Abaco on your way back. In March Harbour we will have a small farewell dinner celebrating our fascinating adventure and listening to the local music.

Breakfast and check out at 8:am. Swap emails and photos to come back home with great memories and anticipation of the next sailing vacation.
