Can I arrange for a fishing guide to pick me up for two days fly-fishing?

My daughters and their husbands and I will be sailing in the Seychelles September 12-20, can I make arrangements for a guide to pick me up for two days fly fishing: Bone Fish, Dorado, Tuna, or anything that is biting, catch and release?

Thank you,
Dr./Miz Kent A. Leslie

Hi Dr. Kent,
Yes, you certainly can arrange for a fishing guide for a couple of days fly-fishing in Seychelles. And there's a lot more types of fish to target too.

In these waters there's also the big ones, like sailfish and marlins - both the blue and black marlins. And if you are sailing you may get the chance to fish around the outer islands too, where the fishing is best, but you'll need more time, since they are remote, and it could take you a day or two just to get there.

And if you are sailing to Seychelles, why not call the Wharf and Marina? Talk to Paul.

You can have dinner at the Wharf while your yacht is berthed at its moorings, and Paul can arrange a guide for you to the best fishing grounds of Seychelles. You can call him at the Wharf and Marina on...

Tel: +248 670 700 or
Fax: +248 601 700

Should you need rooms too, I'm sure you'd like to know that the Wharf has a small comfortable hotel with 15 rooms. And it's a great place for dinner.

You can also pick up a guide from the Seychelles Marine Charter Association in Victoria, when you get to the Seychelles. Also check out the Seychelles yacht club for more fishing guides. You may also wish to check out this page from our Q and A before you hire a fishing guide.

And finally since you are sailing do try to see as many of the Seychelles islands as you can. They are each unique. And I would appreciate your feedback after your vacation. You can leave us your own Seychelles story here.

Enjoy your holiday in Seychelles and have fun sailing and fishing...
