Our Sailing Area
Discover the sights and sounds of the Caribbean and its natural and cultural beauty by sailing around the Sea Of Abaco with Sail School Bahamas! At the same time as learning to sail, you will have the chance to visit some of the most memorable and picturesque islands in the Northern Bahamas.
The entire sailing area lies within the protection of the third largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere where some of the best Scuba Diving in the world can be experienced and where the range and diversity of aquatic life is simply spectacular. Behind the reef lies a chain of barrier islands, also known as 'cays'. Each cay has its own stunning white beaches, swaying palm trees and unique charm. The majority of cays are uninhabited so there are plenty of remote and deserted areas to explore. However, there are also numerous vibrant settlements in the area that are well worth visiting during your trip. You can plan your itinerary with your Captain each day according to weather and tides.
On average, the depth of the water throughout the Sea of Abaco is around 10-12ft but what you will undoubtedly remember most about your trip here is the incredible spectrum of brilliant blue, green, turquoise and aquamarine colors. The water is so crystal clear that you can usually see straight to the bottom wherever you are, even in deeper water of 15-20ft!
