Just finished an amazing charter week with Cruise Abaco and Captain Jeff Evans! Exceeded all expectations for me and my family of six. Jeff was an amazing and incredibly capable Captain and just a fantastic person to spend the week with. The entire operation was smooth and hands down the best we could have possibly hoped for. Already considering another trip to see the beautiful Abaco with CA and Jeff.

Our family of five charted the Dellis Rae with Captain Will for about eight days and we wholeheartedly recommend Cruise Abaco and Captain Will. We were looking for a sailing/island hopping option that would be warm in December and allow our interested family members to earn their ASA 101, 103, 104, & 114 certifications. Our non-interested family members wanted to swim on empty beaches, snorkel, play with sting rays, visit beach pigs, and occasionally eat in a restaurant. Captain Will took the weather, currents, and our wish list into consideration and created a custom itinerary that exactly fit our requests. (In this area, it is very doable to chose a different island itinerary from our preferences, like crawling from beach bar to beach bar, or focus on snorkeling/diving, visiting towns, or just motoring around without sailing.)
We liked the captain by day, bareboat by night option because we could save expenses by renting a three cabin/two head boat rather than renting a larger boat with separate quarters for the captain. It also gave us time on the boat alone together as a family. At the end of the day Captain Will would be sure we were anchored/connected to a mooring ball and then help us get down the dinghy so we could motor ashore if we wanted while he was gone. Then he'd either get picked up by a Cruise Abaco chase boat or take a intra-island ferry back. They arranged for our trash to be discarded every day so it didn't build up at all.
An added benefit we hadn't considered was the layout of the archipelago. With Abaco on the west side and the chain of islands on the east side, the water was super calm. The big waves of the Atlantic broke on the other side of the islands, so we didn't sail through rolling ocean. The water was gorgeous.
The boat was clean and modern. We wanted to make most of our own meals and we easily stored food for three meals a day for over a week on board. We also liked that the galley window and the companion way sliding door opened together to make an big indoor/outdoor space. The boat had solar panels, a generator, and a desalinator. We had plenty of power and water. We sailed a lot but did motor around a bit when the wind died. At the very end, we'd only used 30% of the fuel on board.
The team at Cruise Abaco was great to work with. Booking with Maria was straightforward. They also arranged for us to have a reliable driver to pick us up from the airport. He also brough us grocery shopping and to the airport at the end. Finally, Captain Will was patient, proficient, and clearly adept at folding in with clients' various family cultures. This vacation with Cruise Abaco was a fantastic fit for our family.

Nice newer boat “Cattitude” A couple of things wrong (ceiling leak, an annoying breaker problem) but even a new (Not Everything Works) boat tends to have a few issues. Captains Costas & Jeff were great. Had them for two days and they were great helping us brush up on our sailing and boat handling skills before we threw off the training wheels and took off on our own.

Absolutely amazing trip! I would say it was a once in a lifetime experience but we hope to be back a lot more. My wife and I did several ASA classes on a catamaran for a week with the captain by day option. Cannot recommend this path enough, we always felt in good hands and learning a ton with this being our first saltwater experience. We were joined by Captain Will who I cannot recommend more – he knows how to teach the important aspects and what really matters while having a great time. We had a little bit of sailing experience before the trip but even if you are a novice the Cruise Abaco team can get you up to speed while still having a very enjoyable vacation. Have been recommending to all of our family and friends who ask. Great trip!

Cruise Abaco is an amazing provider if you want to experience the Sea of Abaco, chartered or as a barefoot cruise which is what we did. We love the off season, Yes some restaurants and bars are closed. But enjoying the beauty along the outer Cays with no boat traffic takes you back to understanding why we come here. Conch, lobster, lionfish, trigger, grouper, wahoo. Amazing wildlife with turtle sightings, octopus, sharks and all the underwater species including what comes out at night (don't miss it). 5 stars - be brave.

Fantastic in every way! My husband and I joined the flotilla crossing from Abaco to St Augustine, we are new to sailing and had an incredible experience. Captain Vanessa was exceptional, extremely knowledgeable, witty and an inspiring teacher, we learned so much and gained the confidence to perform tasks under her watchful eye. The Abacos are beautiful, we swam with turtles, saw many dolphins, starfish, even lobster. Cruise Abaco exceeded my expectations, our catamaran Serenity was well appointed and in top condition. I highly recommend Cruise Abaco.

Well run charter operation. The base leadership worked really hard to get our crew on the water and even harder to accommodate and work around the occasional inconvenient weather challenges. The captains were top notch and kept us moving well informed through this beautiful and fun cruising ground. Take a charter here, you will be glad you did.

We had an unforgettable experience with Cruise Abaco on our recent "captain by day, bareboat by night" charter of the 46ft Bali catamaran, Dartabout, hopping about in the Abacos. Captain Will, aka the Good Time Facilitator, was truly exceptional and lives up to his nickname! He was incredibly knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and wonderfully entertaining for all three of my daughters. His perfect blend of planning, advice, and recommendations made our trip seamless and enjoyable, while also considering our preferences and interests. We came with no preconceived notions or agenda and were glad we did.
As first-time "sailors", Captain Will saw my curiosity and took the time to educate me and my family, especially my girls, on the basics of living successfully on a boat. Beyond just driving the dinghy, he taught us how to tie specific knots, (I think we all perfected a cleat hitch) and demonstrating how and when (and why) to use a stern anchor. His explanations were clear and practical, ensuring that we not only understood but could confidently apply these skills during our journey.
A special shoutout to Emily as well, whose attention to detail and warm hospitality made everything run smoothly from start to finish. Dartabout was in pristine condition, and the whole team ensured we had a memorable adventure.
Having vacationed in various outer islands of the Bahamas for the last six years, this was our first time to Abaco, and it has now become the family favorite. Whether you're seasoned sailors or first-timers, we highly recommend Cruise Abaco and Captain Will for an exceptional charter experience. We can't wait to return!

Our experience with Cruise Abaco was absolutely outstanding! While we had already visited and fallen in love with the Abacos in the past, this was our first sailing experience, and it made us love the Abacos even more. Prior to the trip, all of our questions were thoroughly and promptly answered by Cruise Abaco so we knew what to expect. All of the Cruise Abaco staff we interacted with prior to and while on the trip were enthusiastic and helpful. We completed ASA sailing courses 101, 103, 104, and 114 with Captain Kostas during our week long charter. As sailing newbies, all 4 courses in a week seemed like a daunting task prior to our departure, but Kostas made us feel totally comfortable from day one. He is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly Captain who taught us so much and instilled confidence in us when we doubted ourselves. He also showed us a great time and beautiful places around the Abacos, many of which we had not seen before. The captain by day and bareboat by night was an attractive feature of Cruise Abaco (although Kostas was so great we would have enjoyed having him on the boat in the evenings too). We loved the size and amenities of our catamaran, Dellis Rae, for just the two of us and feel it would have been comfortable if another couple had been with us as well. We can’t say enough great things about our experience and about Cruise Abaco. We will definitely be returning for another charter!

Do you offer day cruising trips? We would like to see the other Cays around Abaco and also snorkel. Would like a boat that offers shade. Thank you.
Rédigé le 31 janvier 2019
I believe they do offer day trips but if you want to see the other Cays I think chartering a boat for the week is your best bet. We traveled to a different Cay each day.
Rédigé le 1 février 2019
I’m interested in the captain by day charters, does the rate online include the entire boat for myself or this just for 1 cabin
Rédigé le 20 novembre 2018
We recently did the captain by day option. There is an additional charge for that on top of the cost of chartering the boat, but well worth it since none in our party could captain a boat of that size. Our captain was Amber and she was awesome, I highly recommend requesting her if you go. She met us at the boat every morning, sailed us to our next destination, made recommendations on what to do and where to eat where we were (and even made reservations for restaurants, golf cart rentals, etc), and then left to take the ferry back to Marsh Harbor, usually late afternoon. The whole experience was great and I can't recommend it enough!

Do you also do bareboat charters with motor yachts?
Rédigé le 28 avril 2018
We typically charter sailing yachts. I did notice Cruise Abaco now has motor catamarans. Looks like fun for anyone who doesn’t want to sail.

Hi,
We are a party of 9, staying at Treasure Cay, that would like to enjoy a private full day Tour around the islands, visiting Tahiti beach on Elbow Cay, the Pelicans Cay and especially his reef for snorkeling.
Do you have availability between April 2-4th ?
Regards,
Mr Motta

Hello, Bonnie received your request and is checking on availability and will respond to you today at some point. Regards, Mark

Hello Mark. We have booked a Charter for late July, I have noticed on a review that it cost an extra $250.00 to leave the Marsh harbor vicinity ?? This fee was not mentioned to me at time of booking.
Rédigé le 26 mars 2018
I agree with the previous answer. The area for cruising is more than just the area around Marsh Harbour. We were there for a week and stayed at a different location each night. Little Harbour was our favorite but all were great. Seems like plenty to see in the area you can sail. The passage to get north of Whale Cay is a difficult one it appears even in good weather, and I assume the extra charge is related to the higher insurance. It is stated in the contract. And even if you do pay that amount, if the seas are rough, they may revoke the right to sail there (but will refund your money). We had a great experience with Cruise Abaco and can’t wait to charter from them again.

Do you pick up guest from the Nassau cruise port?
Rédigé le 11 octobre 2016
Hello, We are located in Abaco, it is a 30 minute flight from Nassau and our cruising grounds are there. If you find yourself over here would love to have you! Best, Mark & Patti

I'm considering a one week charter in March of next year but wondering about the weather. Will the water be warm enough to enjoy swimming and snorkeling - or is it better to wait until June?
Rédigé le 8 juin 2016
Absolutely March is great and June too! Come on down! Water clear and beautiful!

We are considering staying in Guana Cay Feb of 2016 and would like to charter a boat for several days (perhaps not consecutively). There will be 12 adults (age 60), one member a navy guy with sailing experience. Would you be willing to come pick us up for these daily excursions? I think we will be staying near Nipper's Bay. We are a group who have traveled together - Guatemala 2014/New Zealand 2015. Also - I notice that Feb is off season….is there a reason? We can be flexible with our timing.
Rédigé le 30 mai 2015
Hello, That is no problem and we can do day charters. Best to email us and we can look into what would work best. Feb is a great month here. Thanks and look forward to having you as our guests!Patti

We have booked our vacation in June. Do most of the boats have DVD players? Don't laugh but can we plug in to charge our devices?
Maybe even a curling iron?
Also, Is there enough water for us to shower each day?
Rédigé le 5 mai 2015
Yes most boats have DVD players, you can use a curling iron although here in Abaco we go for dingy rides to dry and style our hair!
Yes plenty of water to shower every day and you can fill up at marinas along the way.
