The natural beauty of the Abacos, Bahamas awaits you on our 8-day/7-night cabin yacht charter. Aboard a spacious catamaran, you’ll have a double cabin with a private bathroom. Your sailing adventure begins at Marsh Harbour, after which you sail over waters so calm and clear that you’ll see the sandy bottom below. Experience the best of these islands with stops at Nipper’s Bar to enjoy the world-famous hog roast, Hope Town to stroll the cobblestone streets and of course to visit Sandy Cay National Park for amazing shallow-water snorkelling.
Superior cabin upgrades are available.
Day 1 – Saturday: Marsh Harbour
Boarding at 06:00 pm. Dinner and overnight onboard in Conch Inn & Marina.
Day 2 – Sunday: Marsh Harbour – Great Guana Cay
We will gently cruise toward Great Guana Cay where we will drop anchor off a lovely cay in Fishers Bay. Great Guana is the home of the world famous Nippers Bar with its equally famous Sunday hog roast as well as Grabbers Bar and Grill. Set with a backdrop of a beautiful Atlantic long white beach, Great Guana Cay is perfect for taking long walks and those iconic white sand beach shots that grace the pages of glossy travel magazines. Beach combing, snorkeling, diving (with extra charge) or just walking along the beach – there is something for everyone.
Day 3 – Monday: Great Guana Cay – Man-O-War
After lunch, we will set off to the sleepy, but prosperous and beautifully maintained Man-O-War Cay. Visit the sail shop to purchase souvenirs, then see the famous Albury family’s Bahamian work boats and boat building facility. Snorkeling sites can be found on the north ocean side of the island, just a short 15-minute walk away.
Day 4 – Tuesday: Man-O-War Cay – Hope Town
Cruise to Elbow Cay where you’ll be greeted by the iconic white-striped lighthouse – one of only three kerosene-lighted, manned lighthouses remaining in the world. Stroll the cobblestone streets where you can find restaurants, markets, boutiques and the local dive shop. Visit the local attractions like a small museum and one of the many restaurants surrounding the harbour. You can also rent a golf cart to explore the island.
Day 5 – Wednesday: Hope Town to Little Harbour – on the way stop at Sandy Cay National Park – Little Harbour South of Abaco
Because we use shallow draft catamarans you are able to step off the boat and wade through crystal blue waters where you can have lunch and enjoy snorkelling at Sandy Cay National Park. After lunch, we sail up to Little Harbour, which is one of the most picturesque harbours in the Bahamas. Go ashore at Little Harbour to enjoy a visit to the famous beach bar, Pete’s Pub & Gallery, and art gallery.
Day 6 – Thursday: South of Abaco – Tahiti Beach
Get up early so we can sail down to Tahiti Beach South of Abaco to find our own secluded island. Spend the day lying on the beach or snorkelling the reefs with their abundance of enchanting sea life. There is nothing like having an island all to yourself. Spend your early evening drinking cocktails whilst watching the sunset.
Day 7 – Friday: Tahiti Beach – Matt Lowe’s Cay – Marsh Harbour
After a delicious breakfast, we head back toward Marsh Harbour, stopping at Matt Lowe’s Cay. Swim in the Sea of Abaco before heading back to the marina for dinner and a celebration with the locals whilst listening to local bands nearby.

After breakfast, we swap emails and photos and we send you home with great memories and anticipation for your next sailing vacation.
