Crooked Island Lodge
Lodging Details
Located on the northwest corner of Crooked Island, Pittstown Point is an oceanfront resort with 12 island-style rooms. Ten rooms have two double beds, and two rooms have one king bed. Each of the rooms has a private bath. All bedrooms and bathrooms are recently-renovated, giving guests the choice of air-conditioned rooms or cooling rooms with natural breezes and ceiling fans. The lodge looks onto the beautiful Bird Rock Lighthouse, which was built in 1876. A 3,500-foot airstrip is available if you plan to fly your own plane to the island.
Food and Beverages
The dining room is an authentic local restaurant in which the culinary staff prepares fresh, locally-caught grouper, snapper, tuna, mahi-mahi, lobster, and conch. You can expect American-style breakfasts and fresh Bahamian cuisine for dinner. Lunches are packed in coolers for your days on the water. The lodge carries a fully-stocked bar offering beer, wine, and liquor and will be happy to keep a tab during your stay. Sodas, juices, and coffees are included in your package price.
Typical Length of Stay
Designated arrival and departure days for the island (via scheduled commercial service on Bahamas Air) are Wednesdays and Saturdays, which means that a seven (7) nights / six (6) fishing days itinerary is the standard package. Other schedules (Wednesday to Saturday, or Saturday to Wednesday) can be accommodated based on availability. Please call Yellow Dog for details. A charter flight option is also available. If you travel to Crooked Island by charter flight, you can arrive and depart on any day of the week, and trips of any length can be arranged. Please keep in mind that the guides on the island do not guide or work on Saturdays.
Non-Angling Activities and Options
Crooked Island is engulfed by beautiful turquoise flats, pristine coral reefs, and small cays. The lodge itself overlooks the picturesque Bird Rock Lighthouse, which is surrounded by an extensive reef system. Guests who enjoy snorkeling can wade into the ocean only steps away from the lodge rooms. Certified divers may experience unique and spectacular “wall diving” just a few hundred yards from the beach. Crooked Island Lodge provides comfortable accommodations and the complete service one would expect from a beach resort. Historical tours of the island, beachcombing, beach picnics, scuba, snorkeling, reef and offshore fishing, some nightlife and shopping in small villages (limited!) are all popular activities.
Internet / Communications
The lodge does offer Wi-Fi for guests. Some U.S. cell phones may work throughout the Bahamas depending on your service plan.
