Ft Lauderdale to Abacos or Exumas

We are new to boating in this area and want to head out to the Abacos or Exumas during the next month and looking for a boat to follow for our first time out there. We have been to Bimini but would like to go further. Any experienced boaters open to us following you?

Re: Ft Lauderdale to Abacos or Exumas

Make sure you have explorer charts on board. My Navionics charts are sadly lacking in that one area. Great elsewhere. Also, the Aqua Map Marine app is great. Go to the Exumas.
