Boat Rentals

The best way to explore the Abacos is by renting a small boat from one of the many rental companies in Marsh Harbour.

Bluewave Boat Rentals. Boats range from 21 to 33 feet, and rental includes access to the pool and other marina facilities. You may wish to opt for the luxury Regal that comes with a sound system and a captain. At Harbour View Marina, Bay St., Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island. 242/367–3910.

The Moorings. What better way to truly enjoy the beautiful waters and islands of the Abacos than on board your own private yacht? The Moorings rents single- and double-hull boats with up to four cabins. You can set sail on your own or hire a skipper and even a private chef, or you can simply arrange full provisioning. Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island. 242/367–4000; www.moorings.com.

Rainbow Rentals. Single- and twin-engine boats are available for rental from this outfitter. You’ll have to get special written approval to head out for deep-sea fishing, but there are plenty of spots in shallow waters to explore. Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island. 242/367–4602; www.rainbowrentals.com.
