Fly into Marsh Harbour Airport (MHH). Our base at Abaco Beach Resort is about 15-20 minutes away. Many guests fly direct from Atlanta on select days or connect through Florida. Learn more about where and how to find us.

We arrange a trusted Cruise Abaco taxi to meet your flight. Taxi service is not included in your charter rate and is paid directly to the driver in cash.

• $20 for 2 people
• $3 per additional person

Yes, of course! Our standard minimum is 4 nights. 6-night charters are priced at the 7-night rate, as it’s typically more cost-effective for guests.

Check-in is at 12:00 PM on arrival day. Check-out begins at 8:00 AM on departure day, with a 12:00 PM boat departure.

No prior certifications are required. For bareboat charters, we’ll review your experience to ensure that your experience and safety are our top priority. Captained and instructional options are also available with our unique “Captain by Day, Bareboat by Night” option.

For every bareboat charter, we require guests to submit a bareboat application. If you wish to bareboat a catamaran, please be sure to list the vessels you have experience and year you skippered.

Your captain sails with you during the day, then departs each evening, so you enjoy private nights aboard. It’s the perfect balance of guidance and independence. Your captain returns when you want in the morning, and at the end of your last sailing day he will return your boat to our base, where you will spend your last night at the marina.

Absolutely. Our captains offer informal sailing instruction at no additional cost, and ASA certification courses are available for guests seeking official credentials.

Learn more about our ASA certifications.

You can also enhance your charter with scuba diving—local dive shops will come directly to the boat to provide gear and to take you on a dive. Fishing rods and gear are available for rent, and we offer lots of snorkeling opportunities during your trip.

A 25% deposit secures your charter. The balance is due 90 days before arrival. Payments are made through your Nausys portal, and all major credit cards are accepted.

A non-refundable hazard fee of $4,000 will be pre-authorized on your credit card 7 days before arrival and released within 48 hours after departure, providing there is no damage. This fee reduces your damage deposit from $10,000.00 to $4,000.00

Some boats include onboard Wi-Fi. If not, service can be added for $100 per charter. The Internet can be sporadic, so we don’t normally recommend paying for it.

Cell service is generally reliable, and free Wi-Fi is available at many island stops. Verizon and AT&T offer the best cell coverage in the area; however, an international plan is recommended. Phones on either network can be used as portable hotspots while between settlements. If you use a different carrier, Aliv rental modems are available and provide dependable Internet service.

We are closed during hurricane season August – October, as are most of the establishments in the area. However, we still strongly recommend travel insurance in case of a hurricane or the need to cancel. If we can rebook your charter, eligible refunds apply per your contract.

Insurance provides the best protection for unforeseen events. We recommend Allianz Global Insurance. To get a quote, enter our ACCAM number F204228 for discounted rates.
