Abaco
Calm electric-blue waters & warm breezes
The Bahamas’ Abaco island chain is a true vacation paradise and makes for a wonderful sailing vacation. Enjoy calm, electric-blue waters, warm breezes and friendly locals, all of which lure visitors to this destination time and again.
The Abacos offer 130 miles of cays and islands, including the famous Walkers Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Great Guana, Man-O-War and Elbow Cay, to name a few. The boomerang-shaped Abaco Islands span from Walkers Cay in the north to Hole-in-the-Wall in the south, just 175 miles east of Florida’s Palm Beach and 55 miles north of Nassau.

Unlike some islands in the Bahamas, the Abaco Out Islands are still largely unspoiled by crowds and tourism. Fishing and diving are world-class and snorkelers should head to the impressive Pelican Cays Sea Park, off Sandy Cay.
While sailing in the Abacos, head to Elbow Cay. The most well-known of the small colonial townships on the outer cays, it’s popular for its 130-year-old lighthouse that is visible for miles. It’s now part of a major restoration project and its light at night, is the beacon of hope held dear by locals. In the south of the island, you will find the romantic and remote Tahiti Beach with super clear waters.
Snorkel along Great Guana Cay’s seven-mile beach and enjoy some food at Grabbers Bed, Bar & Grill. Relax at Treasure Cay, often voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, or take in the atmosphere at Man-O-War Cay. Animal lovers will want to visit the swimming pigs at No Name Cay.
Green Turtle Cay is not to be missed on any Abaco yacht charter. Rent a golf cart to explore the entire island.
Our base, where you will begin your Abacos sailing charter, is located at Conch Inn Yacht Club & Marina, Marsh Harbour, on Great Abaco Island.
