This is a bit of our journey from West Palm beach Florida to Abacos Bahamas for a total of 7 days. We made this trip in our jetboat (Yamaha AR240 and pwc). A group of good friends got together to embrace this journey, explore and enjoy the beauty of Abacos Bahamas. We got to explore Treasure Cay, Marsh Harbour, Hope Town, No Name Cay, Guana Cay and many other islands. A video can't describe the beauty and adventure we had in full, but we hope you enjoy watching the highlights of it all... Crew @robert843 @Andy S @Ramblin Wreck @veedubtek
 
Awesome!!!! Wow
 
Great video! Looks like you guys had a great time! :thumbsup:
 
one of the best Bamaha videos out there!
 
Amazing work @1948Isaac , and so quick! Holy hell. I've got videos from 2015 Bimini I still haven't edited, lol.
 
Great Video. I must have watched the Exuma one like 20 times. Keep up the good work.
 
This is the best Yamaha trip or adventure I have seen. I stumbled upon it by accident looking for info on south padre island. We live in Dallas tx majority or the year but have a summer home in west palm. The idea of this trip has never crossed my mind but it's a must for the wife and I next summer! Our boat stays in Dallas and we usually fly in but we will definitely be pulling it to west palm next summer! Have u added Gps to the boat or are you using your phone to get around? Also are you traveling certain times of the day so the water is calm and doesn't beat u up? THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

I was on this trip as well. We usually plan these trips for June or July which seems to have the best water conditions. Yes the boats had GPS it was an incredible trip but I highly recommend getting your feet wet with Bimini first then attempting this trip. You will want to see how your crew handles a shorter offshore run to the Bahamas before committing to something this long as it could be a very miserable trip if you find out part of the way in they really are not up for it. Even in good conditions this is a beating on the body in these boats in bad conditions it will break some to the point of them refusing to continue on.

Thank you @WOOSAB It was definitively a great adventure. I do have a good GPS and i use my phone as a back up. Like @robert843 said, this trip can be a great adventure but you gotta plan for it very well, having in consideration that weather is unexpected at seas. This trip is great to do as long as your crew and your self can handle some weather and lots of time at sea. It took about 8 to 9 hrs to cross from west palm to our final destination in abacos.. Also my boat has trim tabs that help in a huge way to handle and to have a better ride overall in rough seas. I can't imagine me doing this trips with out trim taps in my boat, if not you will get pretty beat up..Other than that, in my opinion is a trip that everyone must do at least one,s in their life time....
