Sloop Sailing Bahamas Style! | Distant Shores

Sail with us in the beautiful Bahamas where the water is a sparkling swimming pool blue and get onboard traditional Bahamian sailing sloops for local racing like you’ve never seen before! One of the rules is that you must return with the same number of crew that you started with. This tells it all! Crazy fun! We start in George Town, Great Exuma, then sail to Long Island, Bahamas where we explore a system of caves then make a fast sail back to catch a plane for the Toronto International Boat Show.
