Abaco Bahamas
Boat Rental
By: Kenneth Rissler
For a great time on the
water, rent a boat on Abaco Island in the Bahamas. Take command
of your own power or sailboat in Marsh Harbour Abaco, Bahamas
and cruise Abaco sound which stretches 20 miles north and 20
miles south making this one of the few places where the average
person can get a taste of salt water in a safe and friendly
location.
Many rental companies operate out of Marsh Harbour, which has a
beautiful natural harbor where all the rental companies are
located. The waters are calm and safe as Abaco sound is
protected by a long string of barrier islands which make the
inside calm and peaceful most of the time. The closest and
easiest is a short cruise from Marsh Harbour to Elbow Cay where
Hopetown is located. Hopetown is a perfect natural harbor with a
very small entrance that opens up into a large anchorage that is
usually full of boats riding on their moorings. The shore in the
harbor is lined with dock after dock belonging to the local
houses and business. Upon entering just keep to the left and you
will come to the government dock where you may dock for free
while visiting the delightful village of Hopetown. If you chose,
you many dock at one of the several restaurants that are on the
water while you are dining. You can usually leave your boat
there while you take a walk around the town. Remember to take a
few photos of the famous Hopetown Lighthouse or if you have
time, climb to the top for a fantastic 360 degree view of the
Abaco sound, the harbour and Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
After leaving Hopetown Harbour entrance just keep left and
follow the coastline south to Tahiti Beach for a swim on one of
the most photographed beaches in all the Bahamas. The beach here
is lined with extremely tall coconut palms reminiscent of the
south pacific islands of Tahiti.
From here it is a short ride back to Marsh Harbour where your
hotel room will be waiting. You will have the satisfaction of
completing a day on the water as Captain.
