Seychelles; 2025 and 2026 availability; Alphonse Island, Astove, Providence, Cosmoledo & Farquhar Atolls

The Seychelles rightly sit on every saltwater angler’s bucket list, offering some of the most prolific flats in the world. We have availability for 2025 and 2026 Alphonse Island (St Francois Atoll) as well as for Farquhar Atoll, Cosmoledo Atoll, Astove Atoll and Providence. Please contact us if you would like more information on any of the atolls or to hold space.

Alphonse Island

Alphonse is a rare jewel amongst fishing lodges; an ideal location for those looking for an unspoilt beach getaway while their partners are out fishing the flats of St Francois. Best known for its large and healthy bonefish population, it is unique amongst these atolls for the sheer number of milkfish who pass through on their north/south migratory route. These algae eating vegetarians are the ultimate challenge for any angler aiming to land one of these mighty, hard fighting fish. Alphonse fishes 12 anglers per week on a shared boat/guide basis (ratio of two anglers to one guide). Accommodation is in very comfortable, air-conditioned beach front chalets or suites. The suites have private plunge pools and for families and groups of friends, there are two stunning four bedroom villas, each with their own central pool.

Farquhar Atoll

Farquhar’s simple lodge retains a very genuine fishing lodge appeal and the flats here offer some of the most productive saltwater fishing 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.

Astove Atoll

Astove is a real gem. Don’t be fooled by its relatively small size; Astove’s shallow lagoon, with one small entrance surrounded by sheer drop-offs is truly unique and offers one of the most extraordinary fly fishing destinations on the planet. The rebuilt original coral house offers single air-conditioned rooms with en-suite facilities.  Astove fishes just six anglers per week with a ratio of two anglers to one guide. A single boat option is available.

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.

Providence atoll

Providence 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 can detach from the world and immerse yourself fully in the experience of fishing these remote flats.
