MULTI-SPECIES FISHING IN A TRUE WILDERNESS Providence Atoll, a remote spec in the Indian Ocean some 700km southwest of Mahe, is one of the world’s last remaining fly fishing wilderness areas. The amazing fishing grounds comprise sand flats, turtle grass banks, and surf lines which house a multitude of species. Anglers can sight cast to giant trevally, bumphead parrotfish, triggerfish, bluefin trevally, Indo-Pacific permit, barracuda, bohar snapper and plenty more. There are superb offshore fishing opportunities too, with sailfish, tuna, wahoo and other pelagic species roaming the ocean.

INCREDIBLE FISHING GROUNDS The atoll comprises two islands, Providence North and Cerf Island, and an enormous shallow lagoon, 55km north to south and 14km east to west, with vast flats and sand banks that link to the ocean through countless feeder channels. The large lagoon offers safe leeward anchorages and provides easy skiff access to the incredible fly fishing grounds.

LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION AND SUPERB SERVICE Anglers are accommodated on Quo Vadis, a beautiful 75ft luxury expedition catamaran well designed for exploring the most remote of the Seychelles outer atolls. There is a spacious saloon, a well appointed bar and breakfast counter.

The aft deck, with an eight seater dining table, two daybeds, bench seating, cocktail tables and a BBQ is a great place to relax after a day on the water. The four luxuriously appointed twin or king size guest cabins are en-suite, airconditioned and large by expedition yacht standards.

PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED GUIDES Quo Vadis is accompanied by three professional fly fishing guides and three purpose built skiffs which transport anglers across the flats. The guides are experienced in all aspects of fly fishing in this remote saltwater destination and are fluent English speakers. Most of the fishing is done whilst wading and there is little to match the excitement of stalking and casting at your quarry in this extraordinary environment.

‘Nowhere else in the Indian Ocean do six anglers get the opportunity to fish such a vast atoll with such a high level of service, comfort and fishing infrastructure.’

‘Providence Atoll needs to be experienced to be believed. It’s geographical isolation creates an atmosphere of undisturbed solitude where you simply forget about the outside world, immersed in the natural wonders and unique experiences this wonderful island has to offer.’
