From your private patio, you’ll enjoy open bay views and some of the best sunsets on the island.



Community boat docks (first come, first serve) accommodate shallow sport-style boats. Guests frequently fish right from the docks — an easy and memorable experience for kids without booking a charter.



By the pool and jacuzzi area Galleon Bay does have community use charcoal pits or BBQ grills - just bring your own charcoal they are first come, first serve.



If you prefer to head out with a guide, we’re happy to recommend trusted local bay captains who know how to find fish.
