If you arrive in daylight and wish to take your rental boat to Elbow Cay from Marsh Harbour, this can be arranged through one of several boat rental companies. Please see listings under separate section on Getting Around.
The joy of Hope Town and Elbow Cay is that there are very few cars on the Island and these are used by locals for business. There are no cars to rent and golf carts are the best way to explore the island and get around. Bicycles can also be rented and are a fun way to get about in the cooler months. Renting a boat to explore the neighbouring cays and uninhabited islands is a great way to spend part or all of your holiday. The Albury 23 is our preferred boat, locally made and great for the shallow waters of the Sea of Abaco.
You should rent your golf cart and boat well ahead as they book up very quickly.
Tahiti Sunset can accommodate boats up to 30’ in length in the 2 private dock slips in front of the house.
