Something of a rarity, this: a guiding service operating out of Nassau that’s dedicated to fly- and light-tackle fishing for bonefish.

A highly-rated bonefish lodge and guide service in Deadman’s Cay, Long Island.

With some of the most affordable prices going, this place is hard to beat for top quality, budget bonefishing.
Recently refurbished, this hotel’s once-rustic atmosphere has now given way to a more luxurious feel. One thing hasn’t changed though: The Cove, Eleuthera continues to rank among the island’s favourite hotels. Located just 20 minutes south of North Eleuthera airport in Gregorytown, it provides easy access to many of the island’s best bonefishing flats, plus deep-sea fishing.
Not a dedicated bonefish lodge, but the nearest you’ll find on Eleuthera. UK-based Bonefish Graham has been hosting his Bonefish Adventure Tours here for years now. Renowned for its hospitality and top-notch service, this is the perfect base for the wandering bonefisherman.
An oceanside collection of three colonial-style, self-catering cottages provides another excellent alternative in the absence of a dedicated bonefish lodge on Eleuthera. Well worth considering if you intend to fish unguided on Eleuthera.
