Abaco Islands Offer Best of the Bahamas
The closest subtropical cruising ground to North America lies in the Bahamas, yet the charter industry in those islands hasn't developed nearly as quickly as that business has in the Virgin Islands, which are some 1,500 miles away. With about 700 islands and small cays spread over 500 miles from Walker's Cay, in the north, to Mayaguana Island, in the south, the Bahamas constitute a huge cruising ground. By comparison, it's only about 55 miles from the western end of the U.S. Virgin Islands to the eastern end of the B.V.I.The absence of industry and river runoff in the Bahamas allows the warm seas to be some of the clearest in the world. The transparent waters are often tinted in a spectrum of colors ranging from turquoise and aquamarine. Sea life is abundant, the fishing is great, and you can snorkel just about anywhere.

She is classy and soft-spoken with impeccable manners but she builds and sells high-performance luxury speedboats, whose Magnum marque makes them the Rolls-Royce of the world's marinas.Thirty years ago, she moved to Miami from Switzerland when her husband, a boat enthusiast, decided to buy a small boating company. “He saw a Magnum in a boat show and at the time it was a tiny standard boat. He had a vision. He said: ‘In the Mediterranean we need a race boat that has the comforts of a real yacht you could live aboard. You could still sail at speed but you would have a comfortable home inside. You could have a wonderful bedroom, staterooms.' He asked me one day: ‘Why don't we buy this little boatyard in Miami? Would you mind going and living in there?'"
