Why Charter in the Bahamas?
Book Directly With a Navigare Yachting Agent
The Abacos have been The Bahamas’ boating capital since colonial times, and whether you are a sailing purist, willing to tack until the last gasp of wind, or just a sun worshiper joining the adventure to relax and explore with fins and snorkel, this is your paradise.
About Our Location
While reconstruction efforts continue in the Abacos following the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in 2019, Navigare is excited and proud to be a part of the recovery with a new charter base opened in 2021.
The Navigare base is located in Marsh Harbor on site at the Conch Inn Hotel and Marina, only 10 minutes from the Leonard Thompson Airport.

Local Considerations
The official currency for the Bahamas is the Bahamian Dollar, which, like the US dollar, is denoted with a dollar sign. The denotation B$ is used to distinguish it from other Dollar currencies. The U.S. dollar is on par with the Bahamian dollar and is accepted all over the Bahamas, so there is no need to change to Bahamian if you are able to pay in USD.
