Quite literally an institution on Great Exuma, this is the first name out of most people’s mouths when you start talking about bonefish lodges in the Exumas. Eight rooms set in a beautiful location, with world-class bonefishing on its doorstep, the Peace and Plenty Bonefish Lodge has loyal customers returning year after year.
A highly-rated bonefish lodge and guide service in Deadman’s Cay, Long Island. Set up by Samuel Knowles, this native Long Islander (and his fellow guides Jerry and Frank Cartwright) have worked hard to turn this into the sort of bonefish lodge that fishermen return to year after year. 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.
Born and raised on Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas, Ronnie has been guiding for over 24 years. He specialises in both fly-fishing and light-tackle fishing for bonefish and permit.
Captain Donnie Lowe’s Bonefish Heaven offers an expert guiding service out of Marsh Harbour from a fleet of top-of-the-line skiffs. Offering hotel pick-up and return, Donnie’s guide service is perfect for those on a family or couples break.
A well-respected local Andros guide, Mark worked for many of the island’s lodges before setting up his own guiding business a few years ago. He now specialises in fly-fishing in and around Mangrove Cay for bonefish and other flats species.
Situated in the less developed south of Andros, this lodge specializes in fly-fishing for bonefish in a secluded and unspoilt setting. The lodge has instant access to a huge fishery – from the scores of tidal creeks , remote cays and inland flats of Andros’ east side to the big-fish waters of the west side, this place is home to thousands of bonefish.
With so many loyal, repeat guests, the Andros Island Bonefish Club has something of a reputation in the world of Bahamas fishing. Rupert Leadon purchased this property from the government of the Bahamas in 1984, with a dream to create the lodge. What stands today is a bonefish lodge with 30 rooms, a comprehensive range of amenities and the perfect launch-pad for your Bahamas fly-fishing vacation.
