Vacationers

Are you searching for an ideal vacation to share with your family, significant other, or friends? Would you like to try something a little different? Spend a week sailing and playing aboard the catamaran Ubuntu in the Bahamas!

Explore islands with beautiful soft white sand beaches . . . enjoy a fun workout on a paddle board . . . or snorkel at beautiful coral reefs filled with colorful sea life. You will be dazzled by the colors of Bahamian waters, the other-world scenery of the reefs, and the graceful movements of rays and turtles.

Meander through picturesque villages and get a taste of island time. Or hang out on the boat, read a great book and doze off to the gentle rocking of your island home on the water.


You can take a turn at the helm as we travel from island to island. Watch the sun set as you savor creative cuisine in the cockpit or salon. There’s something magical about sitting on deck under a sky filled with stars to end your day. Experience life on the water in the Abacos. You will not be disappointed!

What Is Included

Provisioning is based on your feedback in the Ubuntu Preference Form and email communications. We include a selection of the freshest fruits and vegetables along with choice fish, cheese and meat (if desired). Enjoy fresh, healthy, flavorful cuisine – you won’t be disappointed. We are pescatarians, and the majority of our charter guests have enjoyed eating this way with us. We can cater to most dietary needs – just ask! Water, juices and ice are included. We have menu ideas if you choose the crew member option. Whichever choice of retreat you choose, we recommend you have one or two meals ashore to experience the local flavors and ambiance.

You will have access to quality snorkeling gear, 2 paddle boards, and water noodles for your enjoyment. We ferry you via our tender from our anchorages to snorkeling sites and land. We will provide hands-on sailing experience to those interested. During winter and early spring, we recommend you bring or rent a  shorty or full-length wetsuit. If you are an avid fisher, you may use our rod and reel. Bait and lures are available for purchase.
