Cruise Abaco is not your average charter company.

We are the only boutique sailing operation in the Abacos, proudly based at Great Abaco Beach Resort (Boat Harbour Marina) in Marsh Harbour. Every aspect of our service is designed to provide a premium experience, from the quality of our boats to the depth of our local knowledge and the personalized care we offer every guest.

We offer bareboat charters and our signature “CAPTAINED BY DAY, BAREBOAT BY NIGHT”℠ experience, a concept unique to Cruise Abaco. Sail through crystal-clear waters guided by a professional captain during the day and enjoy the peace and privacy of your yacht each evening, safely moored in a new stunning location.

Our day sails let you explore the best of the Bahamas in style: snorkel the underwater parks, hop between islands, and relax knowing everything is taken care of. Every boat in our fleet is privately owned, thoughtfully appointed, and outfitted with extras like solar panels, plush interiors, and reliable RIB dinghies with maintained outboards. Our team is on-call 24/7 via VHF, ready to assist with local knowledge, logistics, or anything else you may need.
