    On the Cay, a freshwater swimming pool, directly looking over a pristine, white sand beach is at your disposal. The palm covered Tiki Bar with fully stocked “top shelf” bar is located right at the pool. A tennis court rounds out the on-site activities.

    We are able to offer you an all-inclusive, luxurious package at a price that reflects absolute quality. Discover the complete comfort of Kamalame.

    Fish the abundant water close by the villa, venture to the fabled Joulter Cays just 30 minutes (by car) north of Andros, or even explore the untouched northwest side of Andros Island. And, who would want to miss the angler-tested, guide-approved North Bight?

    If you choose, each day, you will be taken by an air-conditioned vehicle to meet your guide and boat (Maverick skiff with poling platform) at one of these fishing locations so that every angler will have an  opportunity to access the different available areas.

    If you favor a more relaxed pace, or if you just can’t stop fishing at the end of the day, wander onto Staniard Creek’s expansive flat out the backdoor of the Cay. Andros is well known for its large bonefisd, and our visits to the Joulters with Kamalame have confirmed this. Fish averaging a solid 4 pounds, and many in the 9-pound-plus class, are encountered while even larger bones work the flats’ edges. There have been some permit caught in the Joulters; however, these fish should be considered a bonus. It is a very impressive fishery.

    The fully-equipped, center console 24 foot sportfishing boat sits at Kamalame’s dock ready to take you to the nearby reef and beyond to explore a vibrant fishery. Combine this exciting offshore action, Kamalame’s extraordinary facility, and the opportunity to be one of the lucky few to stalk Andros’ famed bonefish in rarely touched water, and you have all the makings for the trip-of-a-lifetime.

    Accommodations

    Extraordinary attention to every detail is a hallmark of the accommodations at Kamalame Cay.  Several accommodation selections are available. From private villas, to duplex cottages with private entrances and common living area, to the quaint Angler’s Nest cottages, Kamalame has many lodging options to choose from.All of the villas at Kamalame Cay have private patio areas off the bedrooms, huge closets, fully stocked fridges with cold Kaliks, water and juices. All of the accommodations have ceiling fans and air conditioning and the use of a golf cart to explore the Cay at your leisure. Some of the villas or cottages offer an over-sized soaking tub for relaxing which will allow you to relax in your Kamalame Cay Turkish bath robe.

    Miles of beautiful exclusive beach directly in front of the villas beckon the beachcomber. It is not uncommon to walk the beach and find sand dollars and exotic shells.

  • Grey’s Point Inn

    Grey’s Point Inn

    Click here to read John Fraizer’s article about his trip to Grey’s Point, “Thinking Outside the Boat” from the November / December 2013 issue of Fly Fishing in Salt Waters.

    Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn on Acklins Island is one of our favorite wading destinations for bonefish. Run by the Williamson family, Grey’s Point Inn guests enjoy warm “Out Island” hospitality in a laid back lodge atmosphere with comfortable accommodations, good food and some of the best bonefish flats for wading in the Bahamas.

    Acklins Island typifies the remote, out-island Bahamas experience at its very best. There are only 2 flights a week. Telephone and internet service can be sporadic. However, traffic jams are never a problem and the people of Acklins are among the friendliest you’ll ever meet!

    The flats fished by Grey’s Point Inn are spectacularly beautiful and relatively shallow, especially in the appropriately named Lovely Bay and equally stunning Relief Bay.

    Acklins bonefish feed in extremely shallow water, especially at low tide, so the fishing at Grey’s Point Inn is 99% wading. Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn, therefore, is the ideal lodge for the angler interested in the excitement of stalking bonefish on foot. Tailing fish can usually be found throughout the day. Nothing captures the essence or excitement of bonefishing like stalking, casting to and hooking a 6 pound bone is 4 inches of water!

    Because of Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn’s close proximity to the open ocean, guests will occasionally encounter larger bonefish. The average bone is in the 3-5 pound range. Fish in the 6 – 8 pound class are fairly common and at times you can have shots at huge, double-digit bones fresh from deeper water. The club record is a whopping 16 pounds.

    The bonefish will often form vast schools at high tide and then gradually spread out over the shallow flats, cuts and channels as the water drops. This makes for extremely diverse, exciting fishing, and offers a great variety of wading experiences, from working drop offs to tip-toeing after tailing bones. Anglers might also have shots at big permit at Grey’s Point, and of course sharks and big cudas can be plentiful. Tarpon sightings, while rare, are always a possibility on Acklins.

    Grey’s Point Inn has three full-time bonefishing guides and several part time guides, all with years of guiding experience on Acklins Island. Having grown up in these waters, these Acklins native guides are extremely knowledgeable, hard working and will bend over backwards to put you on good fishing.

    Grey’s Point offers surprisingly comfortable accommodations given its remote location. There are 6 guest rooms and a main lodge, all overlooking the flats of Relief Bay. The rooms are attractively furnished and decorated and feature 2 large double beds, air-conditioning, satellite television, a refrigerator, small desk (prefect for fly tying), private bath, and even WiFi (intermittent, but there!). The main lodge contains the kitchen, dining room, common area, and a game area, which includes a full-sized pool table. There’s also a separate small lounge adjacent to the guest rooms with comfy chairs and a big screen TV. With the exception of intact larger groups, Grey’s Point takes a maximum of 8 anglers ensuring that each guest will receive the personal service and quality fishing experience that Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn is known for.

    The food is served Bahamian style and features fresh local ingredients, such as broiled or steamed lobster, fried grouper, roasted chicken or cracked conch. The lodge owners and staff are friendly, hard working, courteous people who are punctual and a pleasure to be around.

    Grey’s Point does not sell beer or other alcoholic beverages. Typical of the Out Islands, the selection of spirits and wines on Acklins is extremely limited. We recommend purchasing your liquor and wine needs at the Duty Free Shop on arrival in Nassau, and purchasing your beer needs upon arrival on Acklins. A representative of the lodge will meet you at the airport to transport you to the lodge. They will stop at a grocery store that sells beer, on the way. Beer may be kept cold in the mini fridge in your room. The well known Bahamian Kalik and Sands beers are always available on Acklins and occasionally Heineken and Guinness as well.

    Grey’s Point owns a collection of modern, shallow draft flats boats. Boat rides to bonefishing flats are minimal, typically 5-15 minutes. The boat launch in Lovely Bay is about 25 minutes from the lodge. The lodge overlooks Relief Bay so guests fishing there depart from the boat basin a short walk down the hill. From there, you can be fishing within 2 minutes. Additionally Grey’s Point has a canoe and two kayaks for guests who would like to fish on their own the afternoon of arrival. There is also a wadeable flat in front of the lodge for hard core anglers who just can’t get enough!

    Bonefish around Acklins are not overly bashful despite the extremely shallow water in which they generally feed, nor are they picky eaters. Pattern selection is much less important than presentation on these flats. We do, however, recommend bringing a good supply of Bunny Bones or other unweighted or very lightly weighted flies for the skinny water around Grey’s Point. Weed guards are helpful for flats with turtle grass. See Angler Adventures BAHAMAS WHAT TO BRING LIST for details. Bring your own flies and tackle. Neither is available at Grey’s Point Inn.

    As most of the bonefishing is wade fishing, guests have the option of hiring a “boat handler”. The boat handler will run the boat around to meet you and your guide at the other end of the flat, saving a long walk back!

    Typically a Friday overnight in Nassau is required to take the Saturday morning Bahamas Air flight to Spring Point Acklins. Guests are met by Newton or Garon Williamson for the transfer to the lodge. Guests typically arrive at the lodge before noon on Saturday and have the afternoon to assemble gear, relax or do some fishing on your own.
