The driest, calmest weather runs from November through May, before the onset of the summer wet season and the risk of tropical storms that peaks between August and October. Winter months also bring the clearest water for wall diving along the barrier reef, when visibility on the drop-off regularly exceeds thirty metres. Bonefishing stays productive nearly year-round on the flats, though many guides consider the cooler, less humid months easiest on both angler and fish.
Andros is served by four small airports rather than one central hub: San Andros in the north, Andros Town (Fresh Creek) in the centre near the Lighthouse Yacht Club, Clarence A. Bain on Mangrove Cay, and Congo Town further south. Most charter guests fly into San Andros or Andros Town from Nassau, a hop of well under an hour, then join their yacht already anchored at Fresh Creek or a nearby settlement rather than travelling overland.
Fresh Creek, home to the Andros Lighthouse Yacht Club & Marina, offers the most reliable facilities and puts guests close to the Androsia batik factory and a handful of restaurants. Behring Point and Cargill Creek, both on the North Bight, suit anglers heading out to the bonefishing flats at first light. Kemps Bay, in the south, is a useful stop for provisioning before continuing on toward the Exumas or Nassau.
Two to three nights let divers make several trips out to the barrier reef wall and still leave time for a blue hole or two and an afternoon on an empty beach. Anglers heading out with a bonefishing guide typically want longer, four or five days based out of Cargill Creek or Behring Point, since the flats reward patience and local knowledge more than a rushed single outing. As the largest but least developed Bahamian island, Andros rewards a slower pace than most.
Red Bays, on the island’s remote west coast, was settled by Black Seminoles who fled Spanish Florida for the Bahamas in the early nineteenth century rather than face capture or re-enslavement. Their descendants still weave traditional straw baskets and other plaitwork using techniques passed down through the generations, sold from small roadside stands in the village today. It remains one of the least visited and most historically distinct settlements anywhere in the Bahamas, reachable by a single road through the pine forest.
