The laid-back and friendly people of the Abacos, beautiful coral reefs, and isolated cays are all part of chartering in the Bahamas. Gentle trade winds, stress-free sailing, premier snorkeling, miles of secluded beaches, and perfect weather make this a favorite destination for families and veteran cruisers alike.
Easy breezes of 5-15 knots are typical, with temperatures from 75°F in January to 95°F in July. The waters are quite shallow throughout, making for easy anchoring and fun swimming. Navigation is mostly line-of-sight over calm seas, and the distances are short.
