A Note from Clark
Friends,
If you have been thinking about taking your boat to the Bahamas, why not make this the summer you do it? The weather is predictable, the snorkeling and scuba diving are world class, and the crowds have headed north for the season. Anchorages that are normally packed will be nearly empty, and the locals will be glad you came. If going it alone makes you nervous, join us at the One Water Yacht Group (OWYG) Rendezvous, July 16-19 at the Grand Bahama Yacht Club in Freeport. Spend a few days with fellow boaters, then venture out from there. To help you get going, you will find several articles below on getting prepared for a fun, relaxing, and safe trip. See you out there.
Fair winds,
Clark

One boat that does everything: a full-beam master and three staterooms below, a bright saloon and galley up top, and a cockpit built for fishing, diving, and long lunches at anchor. Twin Volvo Penta D-11s with roughly 1,000 hours give her real range. She lies in West Palm Beach, ready to show, and at the new number she is the value play in her class. View the listing →

From the Dock
One Water Announces "OWYG Bahamas Rendezvous" July 16-19, 2026. Four days of cruising, dockside hospitality, beach clubs, and island excursions with owners and guests aboard Sunseeker, Riviera, Absolute, and HCB. Mark your calendar: July 16-19 in the Bahamas.
Provisioning and Prepping for a Crossing to the Bahamas. The islands are close enough to see on a clear day and far enough to demand real preparation. Fuel and reserves, documents and customs, and the one weather rule you never break: here is how to cross from Florida and arrive easy.
Riviera 4300 Sports Express: The Day Boat That Knows How to Stay the Weekend. A Florida Saturday and a Bahamas weekend, handled with equal ease. A new 4300 is arriving in July straight from Riviera, and a boat like this does not sit on the dock for long.
Cruising the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park: What We Get for Our Trouble. Years ago Clark sailed his own boat down to the Exumas with Michelle and two travel-savvy dogs aboard. He revisits the logs from Shroud Cay, Warderick Wells, and Pipe Creek, and why these waters reward every mile it takes to get there.
