Itinerary for the week
  • This is based upon weather conditions and the interests of the charter group. After the whole group arrives in Marsh Harbour we will have an orientation on the boat. We will run you through various parts of the boat and the “workings” of life aboard “Ciganka” for the week. We’d like to set sail after orientation, if weather and time permits. This will be a 1 ½ to 2 hour sail to our first beautiful anchorage. The rest of the week will be filled with the experience of the living and sailing aboard an incredible sailing ship in one of the most spectacular set of islands in the world, the Abacos!
  • Hey, let’s snorkel Sandy Cay reef! Jacque Cousteau said this reef was the best shallow reef in the world! (It is our favorite too.) It is impossible to even begin to describe all that you will see and experience snorkeling on the reefs.
  • Bakers Bay offers a quiet anchorage with beautiful beaches on all sides, great snorkeling, and an island hike that will give you some fun surprises!
  • You can walk the picturesque island settlement of Hope Town with its candy-stripped lighthouse that was built in 1863. It still uses a small kerosene-fueled mantel and huge rotating glass fresnel lens to send a beam of light which can be seen 20 miles away.
  • You will enjoy pleasant and protected sailing skirting along the island’s edge seeing tropical birdlife, unique islands homes, and the clearest turquoise water. Soak it all in!
  • We will anchor off a different island every night to enjoy the life of a sailor aboard “Ciganka”.

We are looking forward to having you on board “Ciganka” with us for this great adventure. It will be an experience of a lifetime!
