Seychelles Outer Islands
Trophy fishing, hundreds of kilometres from anywhere.
Eight to ten day liveaboard expeditions from Mahé into the Amirantes. Four anglers, one boat, remote atolls that see almost no fishing pressure.
Offshore. Uncrowded. Uncompromising.
This is not a standard fishing charter.
This is wild, remote water — free from crowds, untouched by pressure, and ruled by GTs, Dogtooth, Yellowfin, billfish and big reef predators.
We come here for the raw power of the fishing, but we fish with intention: strict catch-and-release, careful handling, and a respect for these ecosystems that allows them to stay exactly as they are.
Every trip is a true expedition — liveaboard, self-contained, total immersion in the Outer Islands. No crowds. No limits. Just you, the crew, and the scream of the reels.

Target species
What you came for.
Steep drop-offs, submerged reefs and endless bait movement. Every day on the water carries real potential.
Giant Trevally
Outer Islands average 25–40 kg, with fish over 40 kg a genuine possibility. Popping, stickbaits and sight-fishing the flats.
Explore
Dogtooth Tuna
The benchmark. Regular Outer Islands fish run 40–70 kg, and Poivre's "Kennels" has produced true giants.
Explore
Yellowfin Tuna
They don't hit, they detonate. Common at 20–60 kg with big models over 80 kg around African Banks and Poivre.
Explore
Sailfish
Not a rare bonus here. Outer Islands fish average 40–55 kg, peaking October to December.
Explore
Wahoo
When a wahoo hits, you don't react — you just hold on. Big units to 50 kg, with multiple hookups in a single pass.
Explore
Reef & Bottom Species
Jobfish, grouper, amberjack and ruby snapper from 200–300 m. Available year-round, and every drop is different.
ExploreThe route
A typical 8–10 day Outer Islands expedition.
Conditions write the final plan. This is the shape of the trip.
-
Mahé to the African Banks
Leave at 3 p.m., trolling past Silhouette into the sunset for Yellowfin, Wahoo, Dorado, Sailfish and Dogtooth. Overnight steam to African Banks.
-
African Banks
Dawn on the drop-off. Popping for Yellowfin, jigging Dogtooth, chasing dolphins and birds pushing bait.
-
Remire Drop-Off
Work current lines and colour changes for Yellowfin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Dorado, GTs, Dogtooth and Amberjack.
-
St Joseph & D'Arros
Heavy jigging for Dogtooth, deepwater groupers, snapper and amberjack along steep reef edges.
-
St Joseph Lagoon & Offshore
Flats fishing in the morning for bonefish, permit, GTs and triggers. Afternoon popping for Yellowfin, Wahoo and Sailfish along the outer reef.
-
Poivre Atoll
Bluewater for Yellowfin, Dogtooth, Wahoo and GTs. Evening sundowners — take the dinghy ashore and sit waist-deep in the lagoon as the sun sets.
-
D'Arros Lagoon & Drop-Offs
Lagoon GTs and bluefin trevally; offshore Yellowfin, Dogtooth, Wahoo, Sailfish and marlin along the drop-off.
-
Owen Bank
Midnight departure. Fish the remote banks from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Yellowfin, Dogtooth, Wahoo, Sails, Dorado and big Jobfish.
-
Overnight to Mahé
6 p.m. departure. Arrive in Mahé around 8 a.m. the following morning — gear salty, arms tired, memory cards full.

Explore

Best fishing trip of my life. The Amirantes were wild — every day felt like a new frontier. The crew worked nonstop to keep us in the action.
Jason R.
Small group, big adventure. Four anglers meant more shots, more space, and a seriously dialled-in experience.
Brad R.
Professional, hardcore, and fun. If you want a serious offshore mission with a crew who actually knows the Seychelles, this is it.
