Boat Rentals, Fishing Trips & Excursions on Green Turtle Cay
For guests of Lo Key Cottages on Coco Bay
A boat opens up the best of Green Turtle Cay and the surrounding Abacos. From your base at Lo Key Cottages you can rent a center-console for island hopping, snorkeling, and beach picnics, book a guided fishing charter (bonefish flats, reef, or offshore), or join a full-day excursion with snorkeling, swimming pigs, dolphins, or a beach BBQ.
Theres a public dock in front of lo key cottages, good for tieing up your rental boat overnight

Fuel is almost always extra. Ask about fuel policies and approximate consumption.
Weather can change quickly. Operators monitor conditions and may adjust or cancel for safety.
A Bahamian fishing license is required for non-residents. Many guides can help arrange one.
Popular day trips include No Name Cay (swimming pigs), Manjack Cay (turtles), nearby reefs for snorkeling, and Guana Cay (Nippers).
