Abaco Yacht Charter Summary Information

Abaco Lighthouse Hopetown

These islands just north of the Bahamas render some of the best sailing in the Caribbean. An anemometer won’t be necessary as consistent winds blow just over five knots and never gust past twenty. In just one to two (or more if you like) hours of sailing, you can visit either Great Abaco or Little Abaco or head toward Moore’s Island or Hope Town. Sailing or chartering a power yacht never has been so easy as your line-of-sight is straightforward. The trade winds will keep you happy and the sailing is mostly flat as a barrier reef keeps the water tranquil. As long as captains pay attention to the tide in correlation with the season, you’ll have no problem navigating from sandy islands to palm-filled atolls.
