Exuma Fly Fishing
Your Fishing Day
Prepare for your Exuma Fly trip with tide-based departure guidance, meeting-point notes, transport planning, provisions, safety, and a packing checklist.
Timing and meeting point
Your departure is planned around the tides.
Marvin confirms the time by email a few days before the trip. The public guidance says departures are generally between 7 and 9 a.m.
The existing page identifies docks beside Catch a Fire Bar & Grill on the west side of Great Exuma, a few minutes from Georgetown and roughly 15 minutes from Sandals Emerald Bay. Confirm the exact meeting point and current road access before setting out.
Parking is described as available for rental cars. If you need a taxi, ask your hotel or contact Marvin early so transportation can be discussed.
Pack for sun and water
