Pelican Bay Resort, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

One of Grand Bahama Island's newest facilities, the Pelican Bay at Lucaya is where our anglers find the finest combination of Caribbean and European architecture and service. Awarded the prestigious "Small Treasures of the Bahamas" designation by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Pelican Bay and suites are both charming and intimate.

Grand Bahama boasts some of the most expansive flats in the Northern Bahamas with shallow flats extendinig 25 miles to the west and more than sixty miles to the east of the island.

Our fishery is just a part of the 2500 square mile Little Bahama Bank. Not only do we have a large area for backcountry fishing but our anglers can enjoy the islands oceanside flats which are well protected and offer miles of white sand, marl and turtle grass flats.

The Fishing:

The bonefishing is exceptional with opportunities to cast at larger schools of bonefish with an average size of 4 to 6 pounds. Smaller groups of cruising bonefish can give an angler shots at trophy sized bones. Our club record bonefish on fly tipped the scales at 14 1/2 pounds!

The island flats also hold a seasonal population of Permit and Tarpon. These fish arrive in the spring and stay on the flats until the fall. The clubs record for permit on the fly is 38- pounds. Our largest tarpon to date was estimated at 130- pounds.

Schools of yellowfin tuna move into local waters in April and can be found offshore from Grand Bahama until September. Yellowfin tuna average 15- to 25- pounds and have been landed up to 60- pounds. Most of our offshore fishing is done with floating fly lines.

The Accommodations:

The spacious accommodations include your choice of King-size bed or twin queen beds and has Satellite TV, direct dial phone, refridgerator and in-room coffee maker. Also available is a business center and wireless internet access.

Our new one-bedroom suites offer unsurpassed luxury, lush tropical gardens and varying color-scheme. Mahogany wood and beautifully apointed custom decor highlight each of the spacious, 750 square foot suites. Freshy baked croissants, breads and newspapers are available at the suites every morning.

While all our anglers will experience our fishery as a remote and undisturbed one, this cannot be said for their lodging. Pelican Bay is perfectly located and allows our anglers and non angling companions immediate access to the myriad activities and amenities found within a short walk from the hotel.

Additional activities:

Choose to fish just a few days or a week. If you plan to bring along a non-fishing companion, don't worry, there is plenty of shopping, a beautiful white sand beach, or three pools on the premises.
