Experience level

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.

Cruising in Abacos

During the winter months, cool breezes from the northwest fill the sails of charter yachts cruising through the Bahamas. Line-of-sight navigation makes sailing in the Sea of Abaco easy while challenging shallow waters build confident captains who quickly move from novice to expert. Expect balmy weather in the summer months and cool temperatures in the 60s from December to February which makes for a great winter escape.

Abacos Highlights

Just a few hours from your office, Elbow Cay beckons with a long stretch of pink and white sand where you can set up a lawn chair in six inches of warm water and spend the afternoon not thinking about work. Or tuck into a bowl of cold conch salad and a frosty Kalik beer after visiting the red and white striped lighthouse in Hope Town that dates back to 1863 and can be seen 23 miles away.
