Taxi
Prior to arriving we will confirm arrival instructions for your crew by email. However, once you arrive at Marsh Harbour International Airport, you will take a Taxi (costing around $15 - $20) to the dock (approximately 10minutes) where your sailing vessel will be waiting. Sail School Bahamas staff will arrange to meet you at the dock when you arrive.

Your Sailboat
Shortly before you arrive we will allocate a suitable sailboat to your crew and this will be confirmed by email along with your arrival instructions. It is important to note that space onboard is limited so pack sparingly. Please see the ‘What to Bring’ section of our website to find out more.
