Man-O-War Cay
Man-O-War Cay is the boatbuilding island of the Abacos, a tidy loyalist settlement where families have been making wooden boats and canvas goods for generations. It is dry: no alcohol is sold on the island.
The boatyards
Man-O-War has built Abaco dinghies and working boats for two centuries, and several yards still operate. You can walk past sheds with hulls in frame and smell the cedar. For anyone who likes boats it is the most interesting hour in the Abacos.
Albury’s Sail Shop
The Albury family have been sewing canvas on the island for generations and the sail loft now turns out bags, hats and duffels from sailcloth. They are properly made and they last. It is the one souvenir from the Abacos worth carrying home.
A dry island
Man-O-War is a dry cay by long-standing local custom and no alcohol is sold ashore. Nobody minds what you drink on your own yacht; it simply is not for sale on the island.
The harbour
A narrow entrance opens into a well-protected harbour with moorings. Larger yachts anchor in the Sea of Abaco outside and tender in. Settlement Harbour and Eastern Harbour both offer shelter.
