Amirantes Islands - Seychelles

Seychelles' 115 islands fall under two distinct groups. The tall granite, Inner Islands cluster mainly within the relatively shallow Seychelles' plateau, 4° south of the equator and roughly 1800 km distance from the east coast of Africa while the low-lying coralline cays, atolls and reef islands of the Outer Islands lie mainly beyond the plateau up to 10° south of the equator.

The Seychelles Outer Islands are divided into five groups: the Amirantes group lying roughly 125 nautical miles from Mahé.

The Southern Coral Group, Alphonse Group, Farquhar Group and finally the Aldabra Group, some 1150km from Mahé. There are a total of 72 coralline Outer Islands.

The Amirantes is, for us, the most popular fishing destination that all our clients have at the top of their bucket list.

Here are some photos to whet your appetite

A typical Itinerary to the Amirantes will look a bit like this; keep in mind that we follow the fish so we may end up staying in one place longer than listed below

Day 1 : Arrive at Eden Island Marina

Board the yacht and set sail in the afternoon

Day 2 - 3: African Banks & Remire

This sand bank is where your fishing journey begins.

Day 4 - 5 : D'Arros and Saint Jo's

This area is so diverse and is a favourite of all types of fishermen. It's great for flyfishing, jigging and popping.

Day 6 - 7: Poivre & Descroches

On the final day (7) the skipper will set sail to arrive back at Mahe on Day 8. This will conclude your 7-night fishing trip in the Amirantes.
