Why choose Farquhar for a fishing trip?

The Farquhar Atoll, located about 700 km south of Mahé, is one of the most remote and unspoiled places in the Seychelles. This isolation makes it a genuine fishing sanctuary: very few anglers reach it, ensuring exceptional activity and fish that are rarely pressured. Accessible only by catamaran or rare charter flights, Farquhar is defined by vast lagoons, sandy flats, dynamic passes with strong currents, and dramatic drop-offs. A catamaran fishing charter Seychelles to Farquhar allows you to fish at sunrise and sunset, adapt strategies to the tides, and vary zones (lagoon, reef, offshore) to maximize results. It is the perfect combination of adventure and premium comfort.

Among the iconic species that can be targeted at Farquhar:

  • Giant Trevally (GT): the ultimate target, feared for its explosive surface strikes and unmatched power.
  • Dogtooth Tuna: a massive deep-water predator, demanding solid setups and powerful jigging animations.
  • Wahoo: the rocket of the sea, attacking at lightning speed, best with high-speed trolling or fast casting.
  • Sailfish: pure spectacle with acrobatic attacks and stunning jumps.
  • Bonefish: the emblem of fly fishing, a true sprinter of crystal-clear flats.
  • Milkfish: a technical and enduring fighter, famous for long, exhausting battles.
  • Permit & various trevallies: selective, powerful, and highly technical species that challenge even expert anglers.

A fishing trip to Farquhar offers a rare opportunity to combine every technique: explosive popping on reefs, deep jigging offshore, trolling along drop-offs, and fly fishing on flats. Each session is different, each day brings a new challenge, and the variety of fishing here is simply exceptional.

 

When to fish Farquhar, Seychelles?

The best season for a fishing trip to Farquhar runs from October to May. During these months, conditions are ideal: calmer trade winds, clearer waters, and peak activity from flagship species such as GTs, dogtooth tuna, bonefish, and wahoo. Flats species are also more active, creating excellent conditions for fly fishing. From June to September, stronger winds and rougher seas make catamaran access less comfortable, limiting fishing options. For this reason, YFS strongly recommends planning your catamaran fishing charter Seychelles during the warm season, to ensure comfort, safety, and maximum success.

Beyond the weather, the chosen season also influences fishing strategy: at certain times tuna dominate offshore hunts, while at others GTs or flats species are most active. Our guides constantly adapt techniques and fishing zones to tides, currents, and seasonal behavior, ensuring every outing is productive.


How does a catamaran stay at Farquhar work?

Our trips are designed as true fishing expeditions, combining intensity and comfort. From Mahé or Desroches, we reach the atoll by catamaran, turning the journey itself into a fishing adventure. Once on site, the catamaran becomes your floating base camp: spacious cabins, relaxing areas, freshly prepared meals, and wide decks for casting and fighting fish. Each fishing day is organized around tides, wind, and fish activity. Mornings might focus on popping on reefs, afternoons on jigging in depth, and evenings on fly fishing the flats. This complete flexibility is one of the catamaran’s biggest strengths.

The catamaran format also allows quick access to different areas: interior flats, current-rich passes, outer reefs, and offshore drop-offs. This mobility maximizes your chances by constantly changing zones while maintaining total comfort and exclusivity.

Fishing Techniques

At Farquhar, all the major sport fishing techniques are used, and our YFS guides know how to adapt them to local conditions. Lure choice, animation style, and setups are constantly adjusted to guarantee success.

  • Popping: the ultimate technique for GTs and trevallies on reefs, triggering explosive surface strikes.
  • Jigging: deadly on drop-offs and deep zones, ideal for dogtooth tuna, groupers, and large deep trevallies.
  • Trolling: efficient for wahoo, sailfish, and marlin in blue water.
  • Fly fishing: the jewel of the flats, targeting bonefish, permit, milkfish, and other iconic species.
  • Live bait: a powerful method to tempt the biggest predators into long, intense battles.
