Sailing Grounds and Conditions

Sailing recommendations are covered in your chart briefing upon check-in. Weather permitting, your sailing grounds in the Abacos are limited to the Sea of Abaco, including Great Abaco and numerous cays to the East. Travel past Whale Cay may be approved by very experienced captains by the base in the summer and with a waiver signature (a two-week charter-minimum is recommended). Boats are not allowed north of Whale Cay during the winter without a hired captain. Other times of the year, permission will be granted based on weather.

Navigare cannot answer chase calls outside of the standard sailing grounds.

The sea of Abaco often presents very shallow waters and hazardous offshore reefs; please be mindful of the tide at all times (tidal range up to 4 feet), particularly when navigating shallow cays and at anchor. Also be aware of dangerous offshore reefs.
