Abacos · Plan your voyage
The Abacos’ charm lies in short hops between character-filled cays. Most cruises are under 30 minutes, leaving the day free for exploring villages, snorkelling, fishing, and beach time. The itineraries below use Marsh Harbour as the base and cover different cays so the 3-day and 4-day routes can be combined into a seamless week.
