Abaco, Bahamas: 7-day catamaran cruise

After the short transfer from Mash Harbour Airport to Harbour View Marina, you can enjoy some relaxation wandering around the beautiful town or in the many resort pools before boarding the luxurious catamaran from 6pm and taking your place in your cabin. In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious dinner on board or on the island where there are numerous seafood restaurants and some of the best nightlife in the Bahamas, as well as excellent shops for souvenirs of local handicrafts. 

The next morning, after breakfast, we finally cast off our moorings to sail to Great Guana Cay, where we will drop anchor in Fishers Bay: in Great Guana you can't miss the Nippers Bar famous for its Sunday pork roast. In the afternoon you can enjoy Great Guana Cay's beautiful white sandy beach for as long as you like, perfect for long walks, relaxing on the beach, snorkelling or diving (for a fee) - in short, there's something for everyone...

We sail to Elbow Cay, where you will be greeted by the sight of the red and white striped lighthouse, which is one of the most photographed and one of only three lighthouses in the world lit by paraffin and also still manned by the keeper. Stroll through the picturesque cobblestone streets where you will find restaurants, markets, boutiques and local shops. Visit the small museum and then have something to eat in one of the many restaurants surrounding the harbour. Alternatively, you can hire a golf cart to explore the island.

Today the skipper will take you to Sandy Cay National Park - Little Harbour, south of Abaco. Because we use shallow draft catamarans, you can step off the boat almost to shore and wade through the crystal clear waters of Sandy Cay National Park, have lunch and snorkel for an hour. The crystal-clear waters are shallow and the sand is very soft - is there a better way to reach such a beautiful beach? After lunch, we sail to Little Harbour, one of the most picturesque harbours in the Bahamas. Go ashore to visit the famous beach bar 'Pete's Pub & Galler' with its art gallery.

This morning you will set sail early to circumnavigate the south side of Abaco Island in order to land on a deserted island where you can spend the day lying on the beach or snorkelling among the coral reefs and a myriad of colourful fish and sea turtles - you will feel like swimming in an aquarium. There is nothing better than having an island all to yourself! We will spend the evening sipping cocktails at sunset while enjoying these beautiful colours offered by the Abaco Island Marine Park...

A good breakfast and we'll set sail for Marsh Harbour, stopping first at Matt Lowes Cay where you can swim once again in the Caribbean Sea before returning to base for dinner. Then you can party and spend the night in some typical clubs listening to Caribbean music by local bands and sipping rum.

On Saturday morning, after a hearty breakfast on board, you will disembark by 8am.
