PROVISIONAL INFORMATION

The Corinthians are considering a joint cruise, with LSC members, in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas from about 6th to 13th April 2026.

The Abaco islands are a chain of thin islands which were formed from silted up coral reefs. On the east side is the Atlantic Ocean which is rough and deep. On the west side, the waters are shallow, warm and sandy - this is the area where people sail. 

Boats can be chartered from The Moorings, part of the Sunsail group. An initial check of the Moorings website shows that the cost of chartering a 3-cabin 40' catamaran would be about $13,000 to $13,500, based on 2025 prices (2026 is not yet available).  Moving up to a 4-cabin would be $23,000 to $25,000.  Each is based on 7 days and does not include provisioning, fuel, etc.  Airfare would also be on top of that.

Charter costs would be split among the boat's participants. 

The cruise would start near Marsh Harbour in the Abaco Islands. British Airways has direct flights to Nassau, where you can get an internal flight to Marsh Harbour.  The 2024 prices for a return flight are around £1,350. Alternatively, you could fly via Miami but that will require an overnight stop.

The Corinthians would like to gauge interest from LSC members. If you might be interested (without commitment at this stage), please email Paul Banks.
