Bahamas

Sailing in the Bahamas offers a paradise-like experience with crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, and stunning tropical scenery. With warm weather year-round and consistent trade winds, the Bahamas is a dream destination for sailing enthusiasts.

The Bahamas offer stunning waters and moderate winds but require careful navigation due to shallow banks and tidal currents. Intermediate sailors can enjoy steady easterly trade winds of 10-15 knots, especially in the Sea of Abaco. The best time to sail is from November to April, outside the hurricane season.
