Moorings announces the reopening Marsh Harbour marina

Moorings at Marsh Harbour

September 9, 2021

Two years after the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian, The Moorings has announced the return of its charter fleet to the Abacos, Bahamas. From Abaco Beach Resort, The Moorings will offer power catamaran charters beginning in December 2021, with sailing charters scheduled to commence in April 2022 aboard a variety of 3 and 4-cabin catamarans.

Fair winds and a peaceful sea are what usually wait for charter yachts cruising through the Bahamas. During the winter months cool breezes from the northwest fill the air and a stronger wind fills the sails of cruising vessels. Routes along the Sea of Abaco consist of short passages and line-of-sight navigation making for a tranquil trip.

Some captains may find a challenge among the shallow waters where it is necessary to take note of the tidal range, which can fluctuate during a full or new moon. It’s in these same waters many charterers have gone from novice to expert and where they continue to return. The area is also ideal for families and groups of friends in search of a pleasant cruising experience in an amazing natural setting. Balmy weather can be found in the summer months surrounding July and August while cooling temperatures can reach the low 60s between December and February.

It could be the gentle trade winds, the serene beaches or the picturesque villages, but the islands of the Abacos have an appeal that continually lures in travelers from across the sea. Visitors will fall in love with the nautical ambience where shoreside there is no lack of harbours, pleasant anchoring and dazzling ocean sunsets.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
