Bahamas: Award-Winning Spring Sailing 2026
Our Bahamas destination has earned the Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award every year since opening, now six years running, thanks to the 5-star experiences our base delivers time and time again. Our Abacos team has built a reputation for providing warm hospitality, attentive crew services, and a modern, well-equipped fleet.
December through April is often considered the high season for sailing in the Bahamas, with sunny skies, low humidity, and comfortable temperatures in both the air and the water. As such, it’s arguably the most popular time of the year to sail here.
Our fleet is booking at a high rate for spring departures, so you can expect this destination to be a little busier at that time of year. At the same time, please be assured that attractions, bars, and restaurants will stay open throughout the islands, and there will be plenty of flight options available.

Luckily, you have a lot to choose from. Our BVI fleet, which consists of over 80 catamarans and sailing yachts, offers modern vessels and the very best in comfort and performance.

Seychelles: Sailors’ Secret Winter Escape
While much of the northern hemisphere is still in winter, with cold and dark weather, the Seychelles are basking in endless sunshine, offering calm waters and some of the best sailing conditions anywhere. Seychelles has long been a favorite among seasoned sailors, but more and more travelers are discovering it as the ultimate way to kick off the year in the tropics.
While the sailing season in the Seychelles is year-round, this island group has two main wind seasons: the Southeast Trade Wind season and the Northwest Trade Wind season. The Northwest Trade Wind season runs from November through March and offers gentle sailing winds, ideal for leisure cruising and peaceful getaways. Many agree that winter and spring are excellent times to visit the Seychelles.
As more and more sailors discover this tropical gem, our charter base is gaining popularity. The Navigare fleet on Mahé has grown in recent years and features many popular charter yachts from 2024 and 2025, including Bali 4.2 and 4.4 and Fountaine Pajot Aura 51, to name a few.
