The Amirante Islands
The Amirante Islands are made up by the Étoile, D’Arros, Marie Louise, Desnoeufs, Boudeuse, African Banks, Rémire Reef, and Poivre Atoll. Despite being discovered in 1503, they are largely unpopulated and are one of the most desirable fishing destinations for both fly fishing for Indo-Pacific permit and offshore fishing.
The atolls have shallow lagoons surrounded by reef and flats that are exposed on certain tides. The sheer drop-offs, which step from 60 to 12 000 metres in a matter of kilometres, has rich currents and an extremely healthy marine ecosystem with one of the best blue water fishing areas in the Seychelles.
Fly Fishing at Amirante Islands
The Amirante Islands are without doubt the best destination in the Indian Ocean for targeting Indo-Pacific permit on fly. Although anglers focus on permit, the flats are pristine and alive with a variety of sought after species like bonefish, bluefin trevally and the occasional giant trevally. The area offers equally thrilling fishing for species like sailfish, wahoo, dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna and even marlin.
As there are no lodges on the islands which hold the most amount of fish, the only way to access the astounding fishing found in the Amirantes is onboard.
