Man - O - War Cay - Marina near Hope Town

Description

One of the best places for repairs in the Abacos, this island’s economy has historically been based on boatbuilding. In addition to the marine services, the island offers groceries, restaurants, various shops and a resort. There are some sandy beaches behind coastal coral and rock bars on the island’s Atlantic side. From Man-O-War Cay you can take a ferry to Marsh Harbour.

Navigation

From the east, pass through either North Man-O-War Channel or South Man-O-War Channel. Either requires settled conditions and detailed knowledge, but the wider channel north, with a controlling depth of 5 m, is significantly easier to navigate than its southern twin. Once you have cleared Man-O-War’s northwestern tip, head southeast toward the harbor. From all directions, stay east of Garden Cay and Sandy Cay outside Man-O-War Harbour. The narrow channel at the south end of Dickies Cay, which forms the outer barrier of the harbor, makes for a tricky entrance to Man-O-War Harbour. Do not try to pass another boat in the entrance. Berthing: Man-O-War Marina has slips and moorings as well as gas and diesel. Edwin’s Boat Yard offers repairs and has a stock of marine parts.
