Black’s Island, an exclusive private island resort in Florida’s St. Joseph Bay, has announced its support of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) as a Platinum Partner.
“Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Black’s Island sits in the heart of some of the best tarpon fishing in the state,” said owner Scott Seymour. “Our vision for the island’s future is to create an intimate group of owners who are like-minded and have a passion for conservation and the outdoors.”
Sheltered by Cape San Blas and spanning more than seven acres, Black’s Island is located in one of the most biodiverse areas in the Gulf, minutes away from some of the best saltwater fishing spots in Florida. The island is only accessible by boat, seaplane, or helicopter, and was originally home to Black Sam Bellamy, an 18th-century pirate known as the wealthiest pirate in history.
Regarded as one of the top island destinations in the United States, the resort on Black’s Island features twenty-six fully-equipped private bungalows with panoramic views, a grand four-story clubhouse for dining and socializing, and a sparkling pool overlooking spectacular bay sunsets. The pristine island is a boater’s and beachgoer’s paradise, offering the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation.
Guests of Black’s Island can enjoy white sand beaches, quiet hideaway spots under swaying palms, an array of watersports, abundant sea life, and lively evening fun on the cabana patio. The resort is a thoughtfully designed venue that hosts unforgettable Florida vacations, private island getaways, destination weddings, unique corporate retreats, class reunions and other gatherings.
“We thank Black’s Island for its generous support of our organization, which will help sustain BTT’s work to conserve and restore Florida’s world-class fisheries and the vital habitats that support them,” said BTT President and CEO Jim McDuffie. “We look forward to what we will accomplish together for the benefit and enjoyment of anglers and coastal communities now and into the future.”
