Seychelles is one of the world’s premier saltwater fly fishing destinations, offering exceptional sight fishing across remote coral atolls, pristine flats, and turquoise lagoons in the heart of the Indian Ocean.
With abundant marine life, crystal-clear water, and extensive fishing grounds, the Seychelles is famous for its world class opportunities to target bonefish, giant trevally, permit, triggerfish, and milkfish in an extraordinary tropical environment.
Alphonse Island and St Francois Atoll
Alphonse Island, together with the surrounding waters of St Francois Atoll, offers some of the most consistent and accessible saltwater fly fishing in the Seychelles. Expansive sand flats, lagoon systems, and reef structures provide excellent opportunities for sight fishing in clear, shallow water.
Alphonse Island is one of those rare destinations where non-angling companions are equally well catered for with luxury accommodation and plenty of non-fishing activities.

Anglers travelling to these atolls can expect a highly immersive and adventurous style of fishing in some of the most remote saltwater environments on earth.
