Marsh Harbour is the commercial center of the Abacos, a chain of islands and cays in the northern Bahamas settled by Loyalists after the American Revolution. It is the place to provision, see the bank and catch a ferry, and its harbor is the main base for the yacht charter companies that work the Sea of Abaco, a sheltered stretch of shallow, turquoise water protected by a line of barrier cays. Those cays, including Elbow Cay with Hope Town, Man-O-War Cay and Great Guana Cay, are where many visitors and second-home owners actually spend their days.

Flying privately from Florida is a straightforward hop across the Gulf Stream and the Little Bahama Bank, and it skips airline connections that can add hours. You land at Marsh Harbour’s airport, a short ride from the ferry docks and marinas, so an afternoon departure from Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale can end with dinner in Hope Town. Bring a passport for Bahamas customs and immigration on arrival and U.S. customs on the return. With the whole airplane booked for one price, families can bring the gear for a week on the water.

Things to do in Marsh Harbour

When to go. Late fall through spring brings dry, comfortable weather to Abaco, though winter cold fronts can kick up wind for a few days at a time. Late spring and early summer bring calmer seas, ideal for boating, and Regatta Time in Abaco fills the harbors with sailboats in early July. Hurricane season runs June through November, with the greatest risk from August through October, so build flexibility into late-summer trips.
