Orvis Week at The Delphi Club
Leaning on our reputation as the best fly fishing school in the world, we have collaborated with Orvis endorsed Delphi Club to bring you the ultimate educational experience in one of the most beautiful places on earth – The Bahamas. The Bahamas is one of our favorite places for flats fishing; with miles and miles of unspoiled flats, abundant numbers of bonefish, and chance encounters with permit and tarpon. You will find yourself with plenty of opportunities to catch fish while learning the nuances of saltwater flats fishing. Each school is limited to a small group size, ensuring you have plenty of one-on-one time with your instructor. You’ll learn about spotting fish, casting quickly in all directions, sight-fishing with a guide, fly selection, and much more.
The Delphi Club, located on Abaco, The Bahamas, is the ideal place to dip your toes into the world of saltwater flats fishing for beginners, or challenge your fishing prowess while learning a few new tricks under the tutelage of an Orvis-endorsed instructor. The Delphi Club is a few minutes travel time to the Marls, a celebrated flats fishery known to hold strong numbers of bonefish and enough permit and tarpon to keep experienced anglers on their toes. The 8-bedroom lodge stands on a high ridge, catching the sea breezes and panoramic ocean views. It’s an adventure getaway and luxury bonefish resort all rolled into one. The Delphi Club is not a hotel in a conventional sense. The atmosphere is more akin to a private country house; shorts and flip-flops are welcome at the dinner table, making it refined and elegant yet informal and sublimely relaxed.
Your instructor and host, Peter Kutzer, has a vast wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things fly fishing. You may have caught Pete in our educational series of casting videos, at an Orvis event, or simply bumped into him on the water. Pete's effectiveness as an instructor lies in his infectious energy, storytelling, wealth of knowledge, and exceptional angling ability cultivated through years and years on the water.

Secluded, tranquil and surrounded by dense vegetation, the Club stands some fifty feet above sea level and offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Lodge consists of eight well-appointed rooms, six on the ground floor and two on the third floor. Rooms come with the choice of selecting a king-size bed or queen-size twins. Each room features a private outdoor sitting area that offers guests panoramic ocean views. Delphi can accommodate 12 anglers in their own beds or 16 guests with couples.
Outside, the landscaped gardens feature bougainvillea, frangipani, oleander, hibiscus, Ficus, and a wide variety of palms and other shrubs. The Great Room at the center of the house features a generous dining table (which can seat twenty-four people), a discreet honesty bar, abundant comfortable seating, and ocean views right from the dining table. With fine antiques and an overhead gallery full of fishing paraphernalia, the Great Room is full of character and atmosphere. Relax with a cocktail in the great room or steal a quiet moment with a book in the well-appointed library. There’s an attractive infinity pool and patio with comfortable sun loungers. Meals are special occasions held in the great room. Our renowned chef draws inspiration from using the freshest seasonal ingredients paired with only the finest wines from the extensive cellars.
It’s important to note that the Club is not a hotel in any conventional sense. There are no bellhops or room service—it is a relaxed gathering of kindred spirits in a spectacular location with the best of everything.
Take a direct flight to Marsh Harbour from; Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando or Atlanta. The Delphi Club is approximately 35-45 minutes from the Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH, MYAM) in Marsh Harbour. Transfers are included in the price of your trip. Once you are checked in you'll have time to relax on the wrap-around deck with a drink, take a walk on the beach, or for those whom are itching to fish, get your line wet on the home flats in front of the lodge.
Following breakfast, you will gather for the classroom portion of your trip. While we call it "classroom" time, this is like no class you've taken before. With the Carribbean as your backdrop you will learn about, fly-selection, saltwater knots, casting and delivering your fly in a 360° arc, fishing with a guide, how to be a good boat-mate, and more. Throughout the week your instructor/host will be available to help you with any questions or techniques you would like to brush up on.
Your morning begins with breakfast in the great room at 7:00AM then heading out with the guides by 8:00AM. Anglers are provided with a picnic lunch cool box and their choice of drinks. Anglers normally fish in pairs with a guide, however, single occupancy boats may be available at an extra charge.
The great majority of the fishing is from the bow of a skiff, but there may be opportunities for wading, especially at Cherokee Sound or Sandy Point. Most of the fishing, however, is normally on the west side of Abaco in the Marls, where wading is a bit more difficult. Bonefish and other species are sometimes caught right off the Club beach.
The Club guides and launch points for the boats are rotated during the week to provide maximum diversity of scenery and opportunity. Boat launches are normally just a 10-20 minute drive away from the Club, although we sometimes range further afield.
A typical fishing day can last anywhere between 5 - 8hrs with a return back to the Club by 4:30PM or 1:30PM on short days. Once back at the lodge there should be plenty of time for a shower or a dip in the pool before cocktail hour at 6:30PM, followed by dinner at 7:15PM.
Check-out at The Delphi Club is 10 am. Guests will be expected to pay any gratuities and settle their accounts at the end of their stay. The Delphi Club accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Payment by cheque is not accepted.
The islands of the Bahamas represent the bonefish capital of the world, and many count Abaco as a rare jewel. Abaco’s fishery is expansive but receives relatively light pressure, making for large numbers of cooperative fish. The famous Marls on the west side of the island offer over 200 square miles of first-class bonefish flats, which also give anglers occasional shots at permit and tarpon in the summer. On the east side, the sandy flats at Cherokee Sound, the Bite of Ole Robinson, Snake Cay, and a host of secret spots provide great bonefishing options, including some gorgeous wading flats, which play host to bonefish that can push into the double digits. Delphi guests also fish out of Sandy Point and from there can fish Gordaand Moore’s Island with plenty of permit sightings in the summer. Anglers fish 1-2 per boat on brand new Hells Bay skiffs, though solo options can be arranged.

8 & 9 wt rods with a saltwater reel. The Club shop has plenty of local fly patterns, but you are encouraged to bring your favorite bonefish and other saltwater flies.

Cotton takes a long time to dry. Due to the exposed nature of the flats, we recommend loose, long-sleeved shirts and long pants for complete protection from the sun. If you prefer short sleeves and shorts, remember to wear plenty of sunscreen.
