Shallow reefs, hidden sandbars, strong currents — Matt knows every hazard and every hidden gem.

Hope Town, Elbow Cay — The Abacos Bahamas

Not a Tourist.
A Seasoned Regular.

I'm Matt. I've been coming to the Abacos for over 15 years — I even got married on Elbow Cay. I'm a licensed boat captain and I know these waters the way only a true repeat visitor can.

I know which cays are worth the trip, where the shallow rocks hide, which beach bar you can't leave without visiting, and exactly what size boat your group actually needs.

I want to show people like you that this trip is more doable than you think — and far more rewarding than Nassau.

My Story

This Isn't Nassau

Most people fly into Nassau and never discover what the Bahamas truly is. The Abacos offer something entirely different — and once you've been, you'll never go back to a resort.

🌊

Crystal Clear Waters

The Sea of Abaco is one of the most sheltered, turquoise bodies of water in the Caribbean. Perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and boating without big ocean swells.

🏝️

Island Hopping by Boat

Each cay has its own personality — from the pastel colonial charm of Elbow Cay to the wild beauty of Sandy Point. Your boat is your passport.

🦞

Real Island Life

Seaside shacks serving fresh-caught grouper, barefoot beach bars, sunsets over quiet anchorages. This is the Caribbean the brochures can't capture.

🐚

World-Class Snorkeling

Hidden reefs teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and nurse sharks. Matt knows exactly where to go — and where to stay away from.

Freedom to Explore

Rent a cottage and a boat and the Abacos become your personal playground. No schedules, no group tours — pure freedom on the water.

✈️

Easy to Get To

Short flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Atlanta. No passports needed for US citizens. You can be on the water in a morning.

Right-Sized For Your Group

Whether you're coming as a couple, a group of friends, or a big family reunion — I'll match you with the right cottage and boat combination, tell you what to expect to pay, and make sure you're set up for the trip of a lifetime.
