Fishing charters and boat excursions in Eleuthera
A hundred miles long. Where you are staying decides how we meet.
The dock.
North Eleuthera guests meet us at Gene’s Bay, the Spanish Wells water taxi dock, ten minutes from the airport. Every trip leaves from here, bonefishing included. From Gene’s Bay it is a few minutes to the Spanish Wells flats and reef. Gregory Town and Hatchet Bay guests can drive north to Gene’s Bay in well under an hour, and Governor’s Harbour guests in a little over an hour. Send us your rental’s address and we will tell you the time.
What we do from here.
Bonefishing on the north-end flats. Reef fishing on the north side of the island and out along the Devil’s Backbone. Offshore when it is calm. Excursions to the sandbar, the stingrays, the starfish flats and Pig Island. Gene’s Bay puts you as close to all of it as Spanish Wells itself.
Read what guests say about their day on the water, and leave a note of your own after yours.
Bonefishing, the reef, or a boat day.
Bonefishing and fly fishing
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.
Boat excursions
The sandbar swing, stingrays, starfish, the Spanish Wells pigs, snorkeling and beach drops.
Where our guests stay.
North Eleuthera rentals around Bogue, Lower Bogue, Current and the airport road are the closest. Gregory Town, Surfer’s Beach and Hatchet Bay are a reasonable drive north. Governor’s Harbour and French Leave are central and get their own page.
Rock Sound and the south are a long way from my water and I will say so rather than take your day; there are guides closer to you and I am happy to point you to them.
Guided, not rented.
Eleuthera boat rentals exist but the water at the north end is shallow, tidal and full of coral heads, and a visitor in a rental spends the day worrying about the bottom. A guided boat for the day costs about the same and you fish, swim and eat instead of navigating.
Questions people ask
Where in Eleuthera do you fish?
The north end: the flats, reef and cays around Spanish Wells, Russell Island and North Eleuthera, out to the Devil’s Backbone and the drop offshore.
Can you pick us up on the Eleuthera mainland?
Yes, at Gene’s Bay, ten minutes from North Eleuthera airport. From Governor’s Harbour it is a little over an hour’s drive north to meet us there.
Is bonefishing good in Eleuthera?
At the north end, yes. The flats around Spanish Wells are unpressured and hold fish averaging four to six pounds with double-digit fish every season.
We are staying in Rock Sound. Can you take us?
Honestly, it is a long way from my water. Message me and I will tell you whether a full day works or whether a guide closer to you is the better call.
What is the best month for fishing in Eleuthera?
October through May for bonefish and the most settled weather. Wahoo in winter, mahi in spring and summer, reef fish all year. See the month-by-month guide.
