BOATING

Boats are a rich part of the fabric of history at Abaco Beach Resort and Boat Harbour Marina. It is a place for boaters, sailors, and those with a deep affection for the sea to call their own, where guests check-in, slip into their favorite flip-flops and t-shirt, and head for the boatyard.

They hail from around the world – sport fishermen, yachtsmen, and families who reconnect on the pier as they fire up the engines or hoist the mainsail and prepare to shove off. For decades, Boat Harbour has been a magnet for Bahamas boating holidays and sailing adventures, with its unmatched access to the Out Islands’ many surrounding cays, the Sea of Abaco, and of course, the largest and best equipped marina in the Bahamas.

Our concierge can arrange your boat rental or charter here at the resort.
