Mangrove Cay is rustic, charming, and perfectly simple, the ideal location for anglers and non-anglers looking for that hidden slice of paradise. Built in 2009, the lodge is on the beach and offers various accommodations. All lodge rooms are equally charming and right on the beach. All you have to do is step outside to enjoy the view. Lodge staff are always available, and can answer questions, help arrange travel, and assist with angling and non-angling activities. All lodge rooms come with the following amenities: Ensuite bathroom, furnished patio, air conditioning, and wifi access.
Daily flights to Mangrove Cay Airport on Andros are available. Swain’s Cay Lodge will arrange your transfer flights between Nassau and Mangrove Cay. There is presently a promotion through the Bahamas Tourism Board that will discount the cost of your round-trip transfer to Andros. Orvis will add the remaining cost to your invoice before your departure.
You will need to arrange your international flights to arrive in Nassau before 1:00 PM (or spend the night in Nassau before your your start date). Most Mangrove Cay flights to Andros depart after 2:00 PM. This will give you time to make your connection.
Swain's Cay Lodge check-in starts at 2:30 pm. Guests will be greeted at the airport by a lodge representative who will transfer them to the lodge. The staff at the lodge offer a welcome reception with a brief meet and greet.
The day starts at sunrise with coffee and a continental breakfast for the early birds, and a homemade-style hot breakfast starting at 6:30 AM at the Lodge's beachside restaurant, Reef Side Restaurant & Bar.
After breakfast, you'll take a quick 5-10 minute ride through town to meet your guide at the docks around 7:30 AM. From there it's fishing time! Enjoy the challenge of spotting big bones as they appear and disappear in the turtle grass as they cruise the flats. When you hook up, revel at the reel blistering runs that are a hallmark of Bahamian bones.
Around 3:30PM - 4:30 PM, return to the docks, where lodge staff will ferry you back to the lodge. Once back, relax with a cold Kalik or tropical drink and sumptuous hors d'oeuvres while enjoying the scenery from the wrap-around deck. If you're up for a little more adventure, take out a kayak, bike, or walk along the beach before dinner. At around 6:30 pm, there will be a sit-down three-course meal where you can share your fish stories with your fellow anglers.
You will be transferred to Mangrove Cay Airport in time to catch your flight home.
Currently, there are two scheduled flights from Andros to Nassau. One at 8:30 AM, and lands in Nassau at 8:50 AM, and the other departs Andros at 4:00 PM and lands in Nassau at 4:30 PM.
On departure, you will be clearing US Customs in Nassau. You will need to allow extra time for that, and it is best to leave yourself approximately. 2.5 hours from your arrival time in Nassau to your departure flight time back to the US. It is best to plan to schedule all flights after 11:30 am.
Depending on departure times, the lodge will offer appropriate meals or snacks as required.
Swain’s Cay Lodge is located about halfway down the East coast of Mangrove Cay in the center of Andros. The Middle and North Bights separate Mangrove Cay from North Andros and the South Bight separates Mangrove Cay from South Andros. The Bights are a complex network of channels, islands, flats, reef, and deeper cuts. An ideal habitat for sea life, a healthy ecosystem, and the perfect environment for big bonefish! This central location makes Mangrove Cay the ideal place to fish due to easy access to productive spots. A complex tidal system exists where tides can be opposite depending on which side of Andros you are on as the water is pushed and pulled through a network of channels. This allows the guides to be able to search out a rising tide at most times of the day—simply put, this means your guide will be able to put you in front of fish regardless of time of day. The lodge boasts experienced guides with an exceptional playground to chase fish. Swain's Cay Lodge is primarily a fly fishing lodge but also offers other fishing adventures such as spear fishing, blue-water fishing, reef fishing, snorkeling, and diving in the deep blue or blue holes. Spin fishing is also available.
