Bonefishing is a type of catch-and-release saltwater sport fishing, targeting the elusive and speedy bonefish—known for their thrilling runs and clear-water habitats.

Bonefishing takes place year round in the Bahamas, but the best catches take place October to June when the water temperature is perfect for bonefish  frolic.

We operate in the Flat of Exuma in the Bahamas, known for its crystal-clear flats, mangroves, and prime bonefish habitat.

Not at all! We welcome beginners, hobbyists, and seasoned anglers. Our guides offer helpful tips for all skill levels.

 Ideal fishing accommodation is provided for 1-2 guests per boat for best fishing space. A group of three (3) or more guests will require two (2) or more boats.

Of course! Non fishing guests are allowed. The Flats are a beautiful space for relaxation or photography. The cost to book a trip includes 1-2 guests. Please contact us for information if you wish to have more than 2 guests on the trip
