Accommodation and Facilities for the house on the Bahamas, Caribbean

Fishing

The houseboat is the ideal location for a fishing group. You can fish right from the house, the decks or even while lying in your bed!! Fishing guides can be arranged to take you out for full or half days for either deep sea or flats fishing. You can be picked up off the deck and taken out to fish our flats in Fresh Creek or on the reef, then returned to the houseboat without ever having to step on the land. It takes away the time spent in the taxi and saves more of your vacation for the things you enjoy. The house is a few minutes walk from the flats of Fresh Creek, so bring along some water booties and wade our fishing flats. The well equipped kitchen enables you to prepare your catch of the day. A Bahamian chef can be arranged if you desire, when requested in advance. Andros is nicknamed 'the bone fishing capital of the world', we have some of the most skillful local guides available and we can guarantee a wonderful time. A boat rental can be arranged if desired.

Scuba diving and snorkeling

Andros is located to the west of the Andros barrier reef, the third largest reef in the world. The 'wall', is a must see experience, here the sea bed drops 6000 feet into the ocean trench known as 'the Tongue of the Ocean'. Andros is also world famous for its blue holes and cave diving. Scuba diving can be arranged through Small Hope Bay Lodge, or a speciality dive can be prebooked, including transportation in a boat with your own dive master, who will take you on the dive of your dreams. You can choose between a variety of dives: diving over the wall to 185 feet, exploring an ocean blue hole, wreck diving, observing while the sharks are fed, or cruising over the reef anywhere between 15 and 90feet. Please note that arrangements for speciality dives should be made when booking your houseboat stay. Snorkeling or swimming off the houseboat will delight people of all ages and attitudes. The tidal current keeps the experience interesting while the convenience is marvellous.
