Question
Are there any charter companies that will go through the Out Islands of the Bahamas?  I can only find fishing charters.  It is expensive and time consuming to try to fly between a few of the islands.  My husband and I would like to be on a boat and travel to several islands, with the freedom to stop where we want, and go when we want, for a 1-2 week period.  Either bareboat or with a captain.  Thank you for any info.

Answer
Hi,
  I don't know of any companies, but we found a sailboat charter out of the classified adds in the back of cruising world. I think they were in Latitudes and Longitudes too. We were there a week and just went from island to island on the sailboat and stopped anywhere to dive or snorkel, it was a blast. Right now I can't remember the name of the people who did it. We flew in to Marsh Harbour and left from there, they are the Abacos so you might start from there and look in the back of those magazines.
Hope this helps you, if not message me back and I will try to find out the name of the guys that did it.
