Hear What Our Customers Have To Say

Our group had an incredible day chartering one of their catamarans! Captain Jason and his crew were all fantastic, the boat was stunning and luxurious, and we had a great day overall. Had some trouble confirming my reservation as it required frequently following up with the owner over a period of 3 months in order to get everything finalized, but seems to just be the island life mindset. Other than that, would highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience with Abaco Yacht & Charter Service. Mike and Francesca were the absolute best. We cherish our time aboard Sea to Sky and will definitely consider another charter. If you are going to the Abacos, use AYCS – you won’t be disappointed.

Great charter base, and Mike was extremely helpful. He was available for contact throughout the whole trip, gave great advice and handles all the little expected hiccups along the way to make for a smooth trip. Would highly recommend!

We had the best time through Abaco Yacht & Charter Services. Mike was so helpful, coming back to me repeatedly with various options and dates that worked for our family. And as our vacation approached he hooked us up with provisioning services and great advice on what to do and where to go. Thanks a lot, Mike!

Look no further, this is where you should book your charter! My husband and I have taken two trips with Michael as our captain and we could not be more pleased from start to finish. Not only was Michael very accommodating, professional and a master captain, he is now also our friend. He is a stand up guy, very genuine and kind and just a lot of fun to hang out with. One thing I can say for certain is that he loves his job because it shows.

Example Itinerary for Your Abaco Islands Yacht Charter

Experience the ultimate luxury on a custom yacht charter tailored just for you! Contact us now to plan your dream itinerary.

This is a sample itinerary that might be altered by the captain depending on weather factors or guests’ requests.

Great Guana Cay

We will gently cruise toward Great Guana Cay, dropping anchor off a lovely cay in Fishers Bay. Great Guana is the home of the world famous Nippers Bar, with its equally famous Sunday hog roast. Set against a backdrop of a beautiful Atlantic long white-sand beach, Great Guana Cay is perfect for taking long walks, and those iconic white-sand beach shots that grace the pages of glossy travel magazines. Beachcombing, snorkeling, diving - or just taking a leisurely stroll along the beach - there is something here for everyone.

Treasure Cay

After a lazy morning and a leisurely lunch we will set off for Treasure Cay, listed in National Geographic's Top 10 beaches in the world! The powdery white sand is just incredible. This beach also has every convenience one could desire, including excellent sights, tennis, golf, swimming and even a few shops.

Man 'O' War Cay

In the morning we set sail for Man of War Cay, named after the magnificent frigate birds who soar above it. Man of War Cay has a sleepy, but prosperous, and beautifully maintained settlement. The Albury family, famous for their Bahamian work boats, continue to build both small and larger vessels in the town. Good snorkeling can be found on the ocean side of the island.

Tahiti Beach - Hope Town

Jump straight off the boat and wade through crystal blue waters onto Tahiti Beach. The crystal clear waters are shallow and the sand is very soft - could there be a better way to get to such a beautiful beach? After lunch we sail up to Hope Town, one of the most picturesque harbours in the Bahamas. Dominating the town is the well-photographed, red and white striped lighthouse, one of only three kerosene-lighted, manned lighthouses in the world, and is still used by sailors in the Bahamas. It also provides amazing panoramic views of your cruising grounds. Hope Town is a charming settlement with a wide selection of shops, restaurants, historic museums and homes. Dinner ashore will be at the Harbour's Edge restaurant. They have their own dock and you can pull your boat up next to your table, dine at the water's edge... and the grouper is not to be missed!

South Abacos

We will get up early to sail down to the South of Abaco to find our own secluded island. Spend the day lying on the beach or snorkeling the reef, with its abundance of sea life, or going down deeper for those who want to dive. There is nothing on earth like having an island all to yourself. Spend your early evening drinking cocktails while watching the sunset, enjoy another heavenly dinner onboard, and relax later under the stars. Could you be in paradise - you could well be!

Marsh Harbor

After a delicious breakfast, we head back toward Marsh Harbor, stopping at Matt Lowe's Cay. We enjoy swimming in the Sea of Abaco before heading back to our marina for dinner ashore, and perhaps celebrating our fantastic week with the local people, while listening to local bands nearby.

Departure Day

After breakfast, we swap email addresses and photos and send you home with great memories and anticipation for your next Odyssea sailing vacation.

Available Yachts in Abaco Islands

S/v purpose.

The open plan of the salon and cockpit area will give a definite feeling of conviviality when sharing special moments with friends or family. The sliding window next to the sink means meals can be passed directly from the galley to the cockpit, which is ideal as most of the dining aboard Purpose takes place al fresco.

Stepping up to the flybridge, you will get a panoramic, breezy, bird’s eye view of the seascape and with an open-air lounge area located next to the helm, you can also be wonderfully entertained by adventurous stories from your captain when under sail. When at anchor, the sunbathing lounge on the foredeck offers a great, shady, comfortable spot to spend relaxing moments.

Purpose is the Quintet version of the Saba 50 and offers three guest cabins in the port hull and two to starboard. The sixth cabin, a middle starboard cabin, is reserved for the crew. All cabins are en-suite.

Customer Reviews

Ally’s food was amazing! Every single meal was delicious! She had snacks prepared when we came back to the boat after morning activities and

fantastic desserts every evening. The drinks Ally and Sarel made us were also delicious! They were creative with the drinks and we always loved them!

Exceeded Expectations

This trip exceeded our expectations by a mile. This was our first experience with a crewed cat and chef and after one day I was wondering why we bareboat sailed all those years, shopping, cooking & cleaning.

Our captain, Florian, was incredibly accommodating. He was so thorough on instructions around the boat and picked a really d iverse itinerary. He also chose anchorages that were within a short swim to excellent snorkeling. He pointed out things to us as we went along and was engaging and a very cheerful fellow.

And Michael his crew and chef made wonderful meals, snacks and desserts and we never had to lift a finger.

All in all it was a dreamy vacation made all the more so by having a well appointed cat, and an excellent captain and chef/crew. We’d follow them around the world if we could.“

All the best

Best Vacation of Our Lives!

All I can say is WOW! I can’t put into words how amazing our week was on Purpose. It was SOOO amazing that I rebooked a follow-up trip while we were on the boat. The boat itself is quite special and has ABSOLUTELY every amenity that one could dream of. It is also IMMACULATELY kept (and I am a neat freak)! While the boat is impressive, Captain Florian and First Mate Mike will blow you away. They both are so personable and warm and go to any extreme to ensure that you are enjoying your time on your “floating home.” Captain Florian must have taken my son on hundreds on water activity excursions and always did it with the biggest smile on his face. Mike’s cooking is first rate and he was very considerate to have meals that fit every passenger’s tastes (a side note- my husband gained 10 pounds)! We are counting the days to our next vacation on our favorite floating home and can’t wait to spend the holidays with our new favorite members of our family- Captain Florian & Mike. Never hesitate to book the Purpose- my memories will carry me a lifetime.

Relaxing sail in Bahamas

We had an amazing sail in the Bahamas on this yacht. The crew were lovely. The weather was amazing. The places we visited were out of this world. We had such an amazing vacation and found the whole experience so relaxing. We will be back.

Truly a beautiful place on earth

Bahamas is a must visit place. Paradise on earth! From the white beaches to the turquoise water. We even swam with turtles. We will be visiting again and again.

Mocka Jumbies and Rum...

Considered the ‘boating capital of the Bahamas’, the Abaco Islands form the northern part of this Commonwealth and are located about 180 miles east of the Florida coast. In 2019, Hurricane Dorian directly hit and severely damaged many of the Abacos. The good news especially for this upcoming season is that much of the islands’ infrastructure has been rebuilt and is ready for visitors.

“We are delighted to report that the Abacos have almost completely recovered from Hurricane Dorian, with the majority of shops, restaurants and bars open and operating with full service,” says Patti Gonsalves, who with husband Mark own Cruise Abaco, offer captained and bareboat charters on their nearly dozen vessel fleet, including sailing and power multihulls and sailing monohulls. “Marsh Harbour is almost completely rebuilt. However, we find the beauty and appeal of our island paradise is mostly reflected in the outer Cays where there is so much to see and do.”

The Abacos, grouped into North, Central and South islands, spans 120 miles. There are nearly as many different possible routes for a week’s charter. This sample itinerary will feature a round-trip route from Marsh Harbour. Marsh, in Central Abaco, has good airlift from Florida, plus a wealth of services from accommodations to grocery shopping, laundry, post office and shops. Marsh Harbour is also home to several marinas and charter companies. These include Cruise Abaco, as well as MarineMax Vacations, Dream Yacht Charter, The Moorings and Abaco Yacht & Charter Services.

Day 2: Hope Town, Elbow Cay. It’s an easy 8-mile sail east to Elbow Cay. This is a great fishing area, so be sure to troll a line for a fresh catch. Elbow is an 8-mile-long cay first settled in the late 1700s by British loyalists fleeing the newly created United States. Hope Town is the biggest settlement here, and one of the most famous sights here is of the century-plus-old, red-and-white-striped, 120-foot-tall Elbow Reef Lighthouse. Hike to the top of the light for an incredible view. The town is best explored on foot, or by golf cart, the most popular form of transportation. Those who want to peek into the past can visit the Wyannie Malone Museum, where there are exhibits of the Loyalist era and on the Amerindians and Spanish who arrived here before the British. Enjoy the beaches on Elbow Cay, and either eat on board or in one of the many restaurants ashore.

Day 5: Manjack Cay. Two plus miles north, this privately owned and undeveloped island is the northernmost point on this itinerary. This is the spot to play Robinson Crusoe for the day, walking on often deserted beaches, swimming and snorkeling, and shell hunting. Pack a picnic to enjoy ashore.

EXPLORE THE NORTH ABACOS The North Abacos are more off the beaten track than their fellow islands Central and South. For example, Walker’s Cay is nearly 100 miles north of Marsh Harbour. Yet, this is an area with spectacular fishing, especially for billfish and bluefin tuna. An investor purchased the Walker’s Cay a couple of years ago, and despite hurricanes and the pandemic, the marina there opened this year. There’s a small airstrip, but no accommodations, restaurants or public facilities.

“This season, we have added a 78-foot Northavn (trawler-style motor yacht) for expedition-style adventure charters to the Northern Abacos,” says Michael Dillon, who with wife Francesca, owns and operates Abaco Yacht & Charter Services, based in Marsh Harbour. “We have PADI crew so guests can get dive certified while on charter. The diving is amazing here, with huge barrier reefs several stories high. That’s what makes the fishing so good as well.”

Charter guests can meet the Nordhavn in Marsh Harbour, then spend a day heading north. Or, the company works with Tropical Ocean Airways, which has a floatplane and can coordinate to fly guests in to meet the boat and get started fishing and diving right away. Grand Bay, Moraine Cay and Spanish Cay are other out-of-the-way islands near Walker’s ripe for exploration and each with its own personality.

Don't Miss a Beat!
