Foiling to the Bahamas aboard the Vandal 46 Explorer, Chris Dixon and his son test a new breed of powercat.
Our editors learn firsthand how fast a strict itinerary can be tossed overboard as they attempt to cruise to Bimini on a Beneteau Swift Trawler 48.
The rocket-ship-like Pursuit S 428 takes off for Bimini with the intention of exploring its amazing worlds above—and below—the water.
Hit with the one-two punch of Hurricane Dorian and the pandemic, the Abacos begin the process of rebuilding.
Long after the mainstream media has moved away from covering the Bahamian islands devastated by Hurricane Dorian, editor-in-chief Dan Harding reflects on happier times.
The author reflects on the magical time her full-time cruising family spent in the now hurricane-ravaged Abaco Islands.
Yacht Aid Global wades into the devastated Bahamas to offer aid, and returns with some misplaced mutts.
Spurred by the devastating destruction of the Bahamas, boaters are looking to help. Here’s one resource you should consider supporting.
A couple days cruising with colleagues aboard an Everglades 435CC blurs the line between work and play.
Mars and The Moorings come to the Exumas archipelago, where a seasoned cruiser sees the waters anew.

I just returned from an IYC-organized trip to the Exuma islands of the Bahamas. The trip gathered five megayachts into a flotilla and set off to cruise the clear blue water of the lands. Included in the flotilla were Tuscan Sun, Big City (with their tender Small Town), At Last (tender: At Least), Hooter Patrol 4, and Independence.
