FLOTILLA LEADER

Cruise Abaco

Cruise Abaco, based at the Great Abaco Beach Resort’s Boat Harbour Marina in Marsh Harbour, is known for exceptional service, deep local knowledge, and a personalized approach to exploring the Abacos. As the flotilla leader, Cruise Abaco provides a seamless and comfortable sailing experience, whether you’re a seasoned sailor or new to cruising in the Bahamas.

A standout feature of Cruise Abaco is their innovative “Captained by Day, Bareboat by Night”℠ program. With this unique model, a professional captain guides your boat through the Abacos’ crystal-clear waters during the day—showing you the best snorkeling spots, beaches, and hidden gems—then leaves you securely moored in a settlement or peaceful cove each evening. It’s one of the most enjoyable and stress-free ways to experience a Bahamas sailing vacation, offering both expertise and privacy.
