Deep Water CayWHERE THE BIG FISH PLAY

We’re surrounded by blues, but you’ll never catch us singing them.

On most days, the color of our water

very closely resembles the color

of our sky. As boundaries are lost,

opportunities appear. You’re not

looking at a mirage. You’re looking at

Deep Water Cay.

For half a century, time has stood still,

just as it does

when a bonefish comes up on a flat

and chases your fly.

It stops in a way that’s

similar to your first drift over a

bottomless blue hole, and when you

watch a hooked billfish tear

across a slick surface.

You can savor every tug on your line

as you do the clear water.

Soak in the island

as the water gently laps at your feet.

Spread aloe on your toned skin.

The salt, sand and sea rejuvenate

your soul. Just go slow.

At Deep Water Cay, you’ve got

all the time in the world.

The destination for more than just pirates.

Anglers have come to Deep Water Cay in search of treasure since 1958. Bonefish. Permit. Tarpon. Marlin. Sailfish. And tuna.

Fishing has always been an integral part of Bahamian life, and the venerable Deep Water Cay has hosted some of the most

adventurous and distinguished anglers. Joe Brooks. Curt Gowdy. Ray Bergman. Stu Apte. Flip Pallot. Lefty Kreh. Chico

Fernandez. Sandy Moret. Discover why Deep Water Cay is the standard by which other destinations are measured.

250 square miles of flats, 110 miles from Palm Beach.

“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.”

– John Buchan

At Deep Water Cay, there is always a flat

where you can find solitude. Some are

long and have hard-packed sand. Others

are soft with mangroves around the

edges. Still others have patches of turtle

grass here and there. The horizon line is

eight miles away, but you’ll swear it

doesn’t exist.

The tides on the north and south sides

of the island are different. That means

we can always find a perfect tide.

We can fish all points on the compass,

and that means we can out-fox Aeolus,

the Greek God of the Winds.

After that, you’ll just need to focus on

the bonefish. Or permit. Or ‘cuda. Or

mutton snapper. Some will be cruising,

others will be tailing. Try and keep your

cool and cast.

Sometimes, a tail-walking billfish leaves

rings on the water’s surface that

resemble those left by a child skimming

stones. Other times they thrash so hard

that you can feel their fight deep in your

soul. That’s exactly what makes offshore

fishing addictive. And when it gets in

your blood, you can’t shake it.

At Deep Water Cay you can head

offshore Hemingway-style. Think about

Islands in the Stream or The Old Man

and the Sea as you climb aboard one of

our two 33-foot World Cats. Our charter

captains are focused on putting you on

mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo, white marlin,

blue marlin and sails - in season.

When you return from your trip you’ll

probably have that look in your eyes

that all offshore anglers get. It’s like

they just found the pot of gold under

the rainbow. They did, just like Papa.

Offshore Fishing, Pilar-Style.

"Soon after I embraced the sport of angling I became convinced that I should never beable to enjoy it if I had to rely on the cooperation of the fish." Sparse Grey Hackle

World-Class Blue Hole Diving.

Dive our Blue Holes that run along

the Little Bahama Bank near our cay and

discover why they captivated Jacques

Cousteau. They aren’t found just

anywhere, mind you. Blue Holes are

only found in the Bahamas, Cuba, and

some parts of Belize. Set sail on one of

our two customized 33-foot World Cats.

Let us take you on a dive that is

guaranteed to leave you speechless.

After you've conquered the Blue Holes,

why not dive the reefs and the walls?

Or grab a mask and fins and snorkel off

the beach. At Deep Water Cay you'll

find as much variety under the sea as

you do above it.

Plan your trip in advance or decide when you get here.

"“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.” - Henry David Thoreau

Pondering your day’s adventure is best

done on our private beach or in our

infinity pool. Decide if you’re feeling

vigorous or relaxed. For the spirited,

how about a round of tennis, a run,

a swim in the pool or a workout in the

gym? Should Neptune call your name,

there are plenty of water sports to

choose from. Or unwind by paddling a

kayak along the flats and through the

channels, or catch the wind and sail on

one of our Hobie Cats.

We can prepare a picnic lunch for you

to enjoy on the beach while reading or

shelling, or get you to Freeport or

Nassau for duty-free shopping.

For some, swimming in the clear

Bahamian water and lounging by the

Infinity Pool is relaxing enough.

But you're here to totally unwind,

so pamper yourself with a massage.

Would a deep-tissue massage be too

decadent? Perhaps. And when shall we

schedule your reservation? At Deep

Water Cay your wish is our command.

The first time the notes of Rule Britannia

were played off the shores of Deep

Water Cay, Edward Teach (Blackbeard),

Black Sam Bellamy, and Calico Jack

Rackham quaked in their boots.

While the shantytowns of Grand Bahama

were good enough for them, your

accommodations will be much different.

You'll have a choice between quaint

one-bedroom cottages, and spacious

two- and four-bedroom homes, with

private baths, living and dining rooms,

and kitchens with new appliances. Enjoy

a morning cup of coffee or an evening

sundowner as you gaze out over the

water from your veranda. Hard phone

lines are in the main lodge, and for those

who must stay connected, cell service

and satellite Internet are available on the

island. We'll stimulate your palate with a

combination of Bahamian and West

Indian cuisine. If you arrive by the club's

private ferry, we'll greet you at our

brand-new reception area and tiki bar.

A fully-stocked pro shop offers all of the

items you need to make your fishing,

diving or sunning trip more enjoyable.

Our island is 2.2 miles long, and if you

don't feel like walking, there are always

golf carts and bicycles. Enjoy. This is

where the big fish play.

In 1715, Port Nassau was a Tent City. Those days are long since past.
