Location and Destination Guide
Usually this boat operates around Marsh Harbour, BS.
Although they’re a popular and sometimes crowded stop for cruise ships and visitors to the Bahamas, the Abaco Islands are a great place to experience the serenity and beauty of this stunning tropical landscape.
The wonderful thing about the Abaco Islands is the choice of things to do. Although most visitors choosing the Bahamas sailing to enjoy the weather, relaxing on a beach with a cool drink, there is more to this archipelago than resort hotels.
