Farquhar Atoll
Farquhar has a much simpler lodge but it retains a very genuine fishing lodge appeal and offers some of the most productive saltwater flats in Seychelles waters. As with all the atolls, Farquhar has something unique to offer its anglers; coral crunching bumphead parrotfish whose crushing beak is a hazard to any fly taken. Farquhar is also unique in that the marauding GTs have identified and target an unusual food source; young Sooty Terns that they target directly off the beach, charging up into skinny water to strike their unusual prey. Farquhar fishes 10 anglers per week, on a twin share basis and with shared boat/guide (ratio of two anglers to one guide). There are single room and single skiff options but they are limited.
Costs below include the flight between Mahé and Alphonse. A conservation fee of $210 per person per week applies. The single skiff supplement is $3,900 per week (2022, 2023 & 2024)
2023
$13,505 per angler (shared room) / $17,355 per angler (single room)
Currently there is no availability on Astove for late 2023 but if you are interested, please do contact us as we will always check whether that position has changed.
Astove Atoll
Astove is the real gem and although it is relatively small, you shouldn’t be fooled by its size as this small atoll, with its single lagoon and channel provides the perfect hunting ground for large GTs. Combined with the proximity of the drop off, the potential for metre plus GTs is high and the offshore potential has barely been touched. The rebuilt original coral house offers single air-conditioned rooms with en-suite facilities. Astove fishes only six anglers per week with single, air-conditioned rooms and shared guide (ratio of two anglers to one guide). A single boat option is available.
Costs below include the flight between Mahé and Astove. A conservation fee of $210 per person per week applies. The single skiff supplement is $3,900 per week (2023).

Cosmoledo Atoll
Cosmoledo is the undisputed GT capital of the flats fishing world. Its anglers access the remote, white sand flats and channels that are home to bonefish, permit, triggerfish, GTs, bluefin trevally, milkfish and a whole host of reef species. Its unique appeal? The vast numbers of GTs that patrol the waters here make Cosmoledo the place to be to take the edge off GT fever. An ingenious eco-lodge, accommodation is in air-conditioned cabins with en-suite facilities. Bare foot simplicity but with all the comfort and mod-cons that you could wish for. Cosmoledo fishes 12 anglers per week with shared accommodation and shared guide with limited single room and single guide options.
Costs below include the flight between Mahé and Cosmoledo. A conservation fee of $210 per person per week applies. The single skiff supplement is $3,900 per week (2023).

Providence atoll
The atoll is the largest in the Seychelles (three times the size of Cosmoledo for example) and offers a unique opportunity to wade for miles on open turtle grass flats hunting giant trevally, bumphead parrotfish and pretty much every saltwater species you might wish to tangle with a fly rod. Living on board the Maya’s Dugong, you are cut off from the world with no phone signal and no wi-fi – you can detach from the world and immerse yourself in the experience of fishing these remote flats. With only two rods available in the 2024 season, please don’t delay if you want to experience this amazing atoll first hand.
Costs below include the flight between Mahé and Providence and includes $100 Global Rescue insurance (unless you have your own Global Rescue policy).
