      Soul Fly Lodge is perched on the east side of Great Harbour Cay overlooking the mighty Atlantic. A short sandy path, just beyond our 20’ x 50’ freshwater pool, meanders through palm trees down to an idyllic Bahamian beach. Two miles to the south sits Shark Creek Beach whichTravel & Leisure Magazine just called one of the Top 25 Most Beautiful Beaches In the World. Our four double-occupancy guest rooms boast ensuite bathrooms and all the comforts like AC, WiFi, and private patios. The fishing that surrounds the Berry Islands is the main event. The diverse environs range from turtle grass covered flats to backcountry creeks, expanses of firm wadable white sand flats to mangrove systems, and classic permit water with miles of shoreline, coves and cays. The wadeability of the Berry Island fishery enables anglers to have an intimate experience in the skinniest of water for tailing bonefish. Short runs to the fishing grounds in our brand new fleet of Maverick 17 HPX’s allow anglers to take full advantage of their fishing day. Bonefish, permit, triggerfish, barracuda, mutton snapper and more cruise the flats and give anglers an opportunity to pursue multiple species in a trip. Not to mention, Great Harbour Cay is surrounded by some of the finest offshore fishing in the Bahamas. Show less
