Abacos Yacht Charter

A short, 1-hour flight from multiple Florida airports, the Sea of Abaco in the Bahamas is a paradise that’s just around the corner. These protected cruising grounds enjoy mostly gentle trade wind breezes no matter what weather the Atlantic is cooking up on the outside. Short distances and mellow sails between anchorages make the Abacos an often-repeated charter by those in the know.

The Abacos may feel a world away, but they’re only a short hop from just about anywhere on the East Coast so your escape is closer than you think. Billowing sails dot the Sea of Abaco where trade winds dance across sheltered waters that hide walls of coral and schools of tropical fish. Charming colonial towns offer up a colorful history and romantic restaurants serve mouth-watering dishes of fresh local seafood. This escape is close but feels a world away.
