SYNOPSIS

It's 1,200 miles from Key West to Bermuda, with a little hitch in the route to get around the Bahamas. This is a longer, more challenging passage out into the Atlantic proper, where we'll have to plan the weather just right while we're in the Gulf Stream for the first portion of the voyage until we can turn east past the Abacos. You'll get all kinds of weather on this trip as we transition through the Horse Latitudes — cold fronts coming off the continent, easterly Tradewinds at the start, and deep ocean swells once clear of the Bahamian islands.

typical Weather Pattern

Expect daytime air temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to the low 80s Fahrenheit with cooler nights. Possible cold fronts can bring daytime air temperatures in the 60s. Northeast tradewinds often prevail averaging 10 to 20 knots. We’ll remain vigilant for potential squalls and sudden weather shifts as low-pressure systems can develop. Sea conditions will vary. We can expect rain showers or fog, particularly when approaching Bermuda.
