Bahamas Sailing Schools - Marsh Harbour, Bahamas

At our Bahamas sailing school in Marsh Harbor, we specialize in teaching live-aboard sailing courses on luxurious cruising catamarans. Marsh Harbour is the capital of the Abaco Islands district of the Bahamas and is the third largest city in that country. The Abacos have some of the best sailing in the Caribbean, especially in the winter. Most of our Bahamas sailing courses are held in the Sea of Abaco, which offers protection from winter cold fronts.
