Little Harbor and Royal Island





World-famous PETE'S PUB










As you are leaving the Abacos, the last port-of-call is usually Little Harbor. No one wants to miss the eclectic island decor at Pete's Pub, a portion of which is shown above, nor (believe it or not) the very excellent local cuisine there.









Gail and best buddy Decker out for exercise








Upon entering Royal Island harbor, Eleuthera island, we happily noted our good friends Dennis and Gail of the boat GADABAUT anchored nearby.  Gail is famous for her papaya shakes,  Dennis for his terrific mechanical skills, and Decker for his fishing enthusiasm.


                            Jim had  some luck catching dinner at Royal Island.









These stops are part of our island-hopping cruise between the Abacos and Nassau or  Eleuthera.  











Our usual charter rates apply:  $400 per day for two people, which includes 2 meals per day on board, accommodations in master cabin with queen bed and tub/shower, all fuel, dockage, anchoring costs, snorkeling and fishing gear, and all the extras.

The Abaco Islands

The lighthouse on Elbow Cay, in the village of Hopetown, is an enduring symbol of the Abacos, and is viewed here from the idyllic anchorage.
The colorful foliage is lush in the Abacos, as this entrance to a quaint restaurant attests.
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a beach bar on the ocean side of Elbow Cay with this delightful couple and wanted their photo to remember them by.
Cruising Suggestions:  The Abacos are fantastic in the summer and fall!  Green Turtle, Man-O-War, Guana, Elbow, Treasure, and Marsh Harbor--all these cays are close together and it is great fun to travel back and forth for the special events that are held at each one, such as the Barefoot Man concert on Guana Cay.

Guests may elect to island hop on Blue Tang from Grand Bahama (a day trip), or join us after we arrive in the Abacos.

Suggested fly-in and fly-out:  Marsh Harbor
Suggested length of Abacos cruising vacation:  5-7 days
Rate:  $400.00 per day for two people includes 2 meals per day on board, luxurious accommodations in master suite with queen bed & tub/shower, snorkeling and fishing gear, fuel, dockage, anchoring fees, and much more.
