We HIGHLY recommend a current version of the 'The Cruising Guide to Abaco' if you're sailing through the Abacos.
The 2025 Abaco Guide offers updated charts and text based on extensive surveys, aerial photography, and over 50 years of local expertise. It includes 17 chart updates, phone directory revisions, and exclusive features such as color aerial harbor photos, GPS waypoints, tide tables, snorkeling/diving charts, and the only maps highlighting submerged power lines and “do not anchor zones.” This guide is your essential companion for exploring Abaco.
