This bonefishing lodge is perfect for anglers of all interests, from hard-core flats fishermen to families to couples looking to explore the flats of the Bahamas together for the first time. Everyone spending time at Swain’s Cay comes home relaxed and smiling, and usually with more than a few photos of trophy bonefish, too!
Swain’s Cay Lodge is the ideal Bahamas Out Islands retreat, a true escape to peace and tranquility situated on a pristine white sand beach laced with swaying coconut palms and gin-clear water. The lodge is located on the remote Andros Island, the largest, yet least populated island in the Bahamas. Andros Island is well known as perhaps the best bonefishing destination on Earth, and Swain’s Cay Lodge on Mangrove Cay in the center of Andros is the ideal base from which to fish these magical flats that are also home to resident tarpon, large barracuda, jacks, and several species of shark.
Bonefishing takes on a whole new meaning in the Bahamas, a place where a bonefish is so important it is literally featured on their currency! And the flats of Andros are home to some of the largest bonefish on average found anywhere else in the world. The famous “West Side” of Andros has resident and migratory tarpon and the occasional permit, too. Fishing is guided with a boat and sometimes involves wading if the tide and conditions are right.
The flats of Andros Island are renowned among fly-fishers as the home of some of the best bonefishing in the world. Swain’s Cay Lodge is uniquely positioned on Mangrove Cay for easy access to either the South Bight or fabled Middle Bight of Andros. Your guide will decide which end of the Cay to meet you at depending on which Bight you’ll be fishing, ensuring you are always a short run to the day’s fishing flats. A reasonable run through the Middle Bight to the remote wild West Side of Andros will put you on flats that are very rarely fished where you will see some very big bonefish.
Swain’s Cay also offers some excellent non-fishing packages, including guided watersports, nature tours, diving, kayaking, deep sea fishing, snorkeling and more. There are complimentary kayaks available to explore many of the nearby amazing blue holes, and bicycles to ride around the town.
Their mission is simple at Swain’s Cay Lodge: they seek to provide all angling and non-angling guests with the highest quality experience both on and off the water. If you’re looking for the perfect fishing vacation you’ve found it at Swain’s Cay Lodge.
