Bonefishing at Its Absolute Best

Fish Bottle Creek and the surrounding flats and estuaries with local guides who grew up on this water. Start with a guided skiff day, then add lodge stays or kayak access only when it fits your experience and conditions.

  • 4-night lodge packages from $1,250pp
  • Two anglers max per boat

Remote, Untouched Flats

We fish the waters around Bottle Creek, North Caicos — far from tourist crowds. These bonefish have rarely seen a fly or lure.

Crystal-Clear Sight Fishing

The clear flats around Bottle Creek make sight-fishing highly visual. Spot tailing fish, cast to cruising singles, and watch the take in shallow water.

Double-Digit Potential

Schools of 2–4 lb fish are common. Larger singles and pairs cruise the skinny water — and on a good day, double-digit bonefish are within reach.

Why This Fishery

Less Running. More Fishing.

Bottle Creek gives anglers quick access to flats, mangrove edges, tidal cuts, and protected channels without the long day runs common from busier islands.

Built Around the Tide

The best water changes with tide, wind, moon, and light. Local guides choose whether to pole, drift, or wade based on where fish are feeding that day.

Good Wading Bottom

Many Bottle Creek flats are firm enough for ankle-deep stalking, giving fly and spin anglers realistic shots at cruising fish and tailing schools.

Guided First

Most guests should start with a guided skiff day. Experienced flats anglers can add kayak access only after they understand the local water.

Realistic Big-Fish Potential

Schools of 2-4 lb bonefish are common, but larger singles and pairs regularly move through the skinny water and can push into double figures.

On-Site Lodge

Stay Right on the Flats

Our newly built lodge sits directly on Bottle Creek, across from one of the most productive bonefish flats in the islands. One and two bedroom units with full kitchens, air conditioning, and private decks overlooking the water.

  • 4-night / 3-day packages from $1,250pp
  • Guided days with kayak access available
  • Kayak access after local orientation
  • Breakfast and lunch on guided days
  • Minutes from the best fishing

Guided-First Planning

Learn the Water Before Going Alone

Self-guided kayak fishing is not the best first step for most visitors. Bottle Creek changes with tide, wind, and light, so a guided day gives you the local knowledge needed to fish safely and productively.

If you already have strong flats experience, kayak access can be added after a guided orientation. We'll help decide whether that makes sense for your dates, ability, and conditions.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

The key trip-planning questions guests usually ask before they book dates.

What kind of trip should I book first?

Start with a guided day trip or a lodge package that includes guided fishing. Kayak access is only a good fit after local orientation and for anglers who already read tides and flats confidently.

What time does a guided trip run?

Guided trips typically run from 8am to about 2pm and are timed so guests coming from Providenciales can usually make the 4:00pm ferry back.

How much is the ferry from Providenciales to North Caicos?

The ferry is $70 round trip. It usually runs Monday through Saturday, while Sunday and holiday schedules differ, so always confirm the current schedule before booking flights.

Do I need my own tackle or flies?

No. Guided trips include tackle and equipment. If you need fly gear, it can be hired for $60 plus tax. Anglers adding kayak access after a guided day can bring their own preferred setup too.

How do deposits and final payment work?

A $175 deposit confirms the booking. Deposits can be paid by credit card or PayPal. The balance can be paid in cash on the day, or the day before by Venmo, card, or PayPal. Card, PayPal, and Venmo payments add a 3.5% processing fee.
