Maritimo M55 owners, Bill and Pam, recently took their 12-month-old M55, from its home in South Carolina, to the Bahamas via Fort Lauderdale, and then all the way back again the same way. The testament to any trip is would they do it again? The resounding, and loud answer, was ‘definitely yes’. Best of all, they shared their experiences with their friends Tom and Brenda, who took their original, 2009 Maritimo 60 along, as well.
They spent two nights in Bimini before they got to Chub Cay, and after that they headed for Nassau. “Nassau is on the twelfth largest island, New Providence, and it has a big marina with a lot of resorts. The marina is affiliated with Atlantis, so there are wonderful restaurants, beach and pool areas, and lots of activities. This is a really good destination, and we stayed for four nights, which meant we had covered everything we had wanted to,” said Pam.
“From there we went to Harbour Island and the marina called Valentines, as we had heard a lot about it, and it was only a four-to-five-hour steam to get over there. Please note that it has a very tricky entrance, an area called the Devil’s Backbone, which is a jagged reef. The marina highly recommends that you hire a pilot, who comes to you, ties up behind you, and then takes the helm of your boat to get you in,” said Bill highlighting the danger of the area.
