Sail Away Catamarans Bahamas Charters

Sail Away Charters start in Little Harbour on Great Abaco Island. This is a great jumping off point to visit the other islands of the Abacos including Elbow Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Great Guana Cay and many more.  These islands are much less crowded compared to other major island destinations – you can enjoy secluded sandy beaches and commune with nature if you wish or wander amongst the small villages where the locals could not be any more friendly and hospitable.
