House rental in Andros, Bahamas - Sunset Point Houseboat for fishing, swimming, kayaking - Property 65714

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.
