Hi all. I''m looking forward to a Bahamas winter bareboat charter a small catamaran in the Abacos. Who is terrific to charter from, who is awful and what''s in between from your own experience?

I would not recommend Abaco Bahamas Charters.

The barbeque on the back of our boat was apparently attached with a rusted out screw or bolt. It fell off the back of the boat when we were underway, before we had even touched it. Guess who had to pay for it...

I guess it would be fine if you had time to check every single bolt on the boat during the check-out.

I highly recommend Sail Abaco (www.sailabaco.net). Nice assortment of cats, mostly PDQs, starting at 32 feet. Personal attention from owner Mike Houghton. Boats in great condition.
