Mangrove Cay Club
Bahamas bonefishing on Andros Island, with easy access to the North, Middle, and South Bights, eastern flats, and west side water.Mangrove Cay Club is Sweetwater's flagship saltwater property in the Bahamas. In 2011, Sweetwater and a group of partners purchased the lodge and partnered with longtime owners and managers Liz and Alton Bain, continuing a tradition of warm service, polished accommodations, and serious Andros bonefishing.
The lodge is designed around fishing under a wide range of weather conditions. From Mangrove Cay, guests can reach the famed North, Middle, and South Bights, the eastern flats, and the west side of Andros. The result is a bonefish program with both day-to-day variety and dependable access to productive water.
