What’s included

Your fishing gear (rods, reels, flies) is all set up for you. Snacks and drinks are ready on board too—just show up and enjoy the day on the water.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed stepping onto the boat at Buccoo Point was the light breeze—just enough to keep you cool but not enough to mess with your cast. Our guide, Marcus, handed me a rod and grinned, “Let’s see if the bonefish are hungry today.” He grew up here and knows every patch of water by heart. We drifted past mangroves while he pointed out little flashes in the shallows—bonefish tails flicking up now and then.

You’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for tarpon rolling near the surface or a quick shadow darting by—sometimes it’s just a bar jack teasing you. The sun can get sharp around midday, so I was glad for my hat and the cold drink Marcus passed over. There’s this salty tang in the air and, if you’re lucky, you’ll hear a vendor onshore selling doubles (try them if you get the chance). We fished for hours, swapping stories and tips between casts. Even if you’re new to fly fishing, Marcus is patient—he’ll show you how to spot a permit or snook before you even realize they’re there.
