Abaco Backcountry Fishing Adventure: Flats & Offshore

Board a specialist flats boat and hunt bonefish, permit, and tarpon across the legendary Abaco backcountry — one of the Caribbean's most prized light-tackle fisheries. An expert local guide poles you through gin-clear shallows for a true sportfishing bucket-list moment.

What to expect

Your guide reads the flats for feeding fish, coaching your cast and presentation in real time. The shallow, crystalline backcountry reveals spotted eagle rays, nurse sharks, and bonefish ghosting through turtle-grass beds. Catch-and-release ethos keeps the fishery pristine. All tackle and equipment are provided; no experience is necessary, but seasoned anglers will be utterly absorbed.

Good to know

Books out weeks in advance — reserve the moment your cruise is paid in full. Departs early morning for the best tidal windows; confirm all-aboard time and allow a 30-minute buffer. Light sun-protective clothing and polarised sunglasses are essential.
