Bahamas - cabin cruise

Discover the Bahamas on a cabin cruise

The Abacos island chain includes Great Abaco, the main island, Little Abaco and some islets. Together, they form a boomerang nearly 210 km long. The islands are located 280 km east of Palm Beach, Florida, and 170 km north of Nassau. The Sea of Abacos refers to the huge cove formed by this crescent of islands.

It benefits from protected waters and has a multitude of deserted "cays". Abaco, which is considered the second largest island in the Bahamas, has a cooler climate than the other islands. In summer, temperatures range from 26.5°C to 29.4°C, and in winter they rarely drop below 10°C. An ideal climate for cabin cruises in the Bahamas.

Located in the Bahamas, the Exumas archipelago is made up of 365 islands and islets surrounded by a blue sea of almost unreal hues. These islands and islets are home to the Exuma National Land and Sea Park, the first protected national park in the Bahamas. The archipelago now has twenty-five protected areas where you can discover: iguanas, wild swimming pigs, rays, starfish, and a multitude of multicolored fish.) Aboard our latest generation catamaran, you will enjoy the paradisiacal beaches, the crystal clear waters and taste the joys of snorkeling.

Weather

The weather in the Bahamas is practically year-round, and with an average temperature of between 26 and 32 degrees Celsius, the heat is there, so the whole year is a good time to go to the Bahamas.

The high season is from December to April with temperatures between 21 and 28 degrees. 

The rest of the year, the beaches and tourist places are less frequented. The period between May and November is sometimes rainy, but the rains are not enough of a deterrent to prevent you from enjoying the day.

The prevailing winds are from the east at 10 to 15 knots.
