Bonefishing, fishing and boat days from Harbour Island
Pink Sands Beach is the morning. The boat is the afternoon, or the other way around.
The dock.
For reef, offshore and boat days: the Government Dock on the bay side of Dunmore Town, where the water taxis land. The resorts and rental agents all know it. From there the reef is a short run, and the sandbar, the stingrays and Pig Island are a little further along the north end. For bonefishing: Gene’s Bay, about twenty minutes by water taxi and taxi. We set a pickup time the night before based on the tide.
What we do from here.
Reef fishing, offshore trips and boat excursions all pick up on Harbour Island, on a 26 foot center console with shade. The run is part of the fun: you go past the north end of Eleuthera, through the cut, and out to water most Harbour Island visitors never see. Bonefishing is the exception. The ocean side between Harbour Island and the flats is usually rough, so anglers take the short water taxi and taxi to Gene’s Bay, and we start the day fresh on the flats.

Bonefishing, the reef, or a boat day.

Unpressured bonefish on the flats, mangroves and turtle grass. Two anglers, fly or spin.
Reef and deep sea fishing
Yellowtail, triggerfish, snapper and grouper minutes from the dock. Offshore when it is calm.

The sandbar swing, stingrays, starfish, the Spanish Wells pigs, snorkeling and beach drops.
Where our guests stay.
Guests come from Valentines, the Coral Sands, Pink Sands, the Dunmore, Ocean View, Romora Bay, the Landing, Bahama House and the rental houses on both sides of the island. All are a few minutes from the dock. Ask your concierge to book with us directly or message us yourself; the price is the same.
For dinner after a reef day, several of the restaurants in town will cook your catch if you call ahead.
Guided, not rented.
There are boat rentals on Harbour Island and they are a fine way to poke around the bay. They will not find you a bonefish, the stingrays or the sandbar at the right tide. If you want the day to work, this is a guided boat with a local captain, for about the cost of a rental once you add fuel.
