The Cruising Guide to Abaco Bahamas (2024)

This 2024 edition is the result of survey runs on the Sea of Abaco and at harbour entrances as well as aerial flights and photographs which resulted in up-dated charts and text.

They are the only charts which show locations of submerged power lines and “do not anchor zones” in the central part of Abaco. The book also includes colour aerial photographs of all principal harbours and a a proven system of GPS waypoints. Its organization makes it easy to use—it is the clear choice of most cruisers and the best selling guide to Abaco. Includes tide tables for 2024, detailed snorkeling/diving charts, business directories for Abaco, articles on fishing, a lunar calendar for 2024, a guide to the dolphins and whales of Abaco, a brief history of Abaco, and helpful local advertising.
