4) Learn and Relax at The Same Time!

Our unique “Captain by day, Bareboat by night” concept allows you to learn and live hands-on with licensed captains and instructors during the day, and then have the privacy of the vessel to yourself at night. You can explore the Sea of Abaco and its stunning surroundings, go ashore to restaurants, beaches, and other attractions, and then come back to the boat for a peaceful night’s sleep.
