YFS (Yachting Fishing Specialist) organizes tailor-made sportfishing expeditions in the heart of the Amirantes, a wild archipelago of the Seychelles where reefs, passes, and deep drop-offs follow one another. At the far northwest, the legendary African Bank (often called African Banks) embodies the “bluewater & reef edge” spirit: short drifts, visible bust-ups, and explosive surface lure strikes. Our catamaran expeditions combine mobility, safety, and comfort to target GTs, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, and marlin in rarely fished waters.

Amirantes: a unique playground of flats, reefs & drop-offs
Located southwest of Mahé, the Amirantes (Poivre, Saint-Joseph, D’Arros, Remire, Desnoeufs, and up to African Bank) offer a mosaic of habitats perfect for popping, stickbaiting, and jigging. Reef edges concentrate hunting GTs, passes accelerate currents and trigger strikes, while the drop-offs shelter dogtooth tuna, amberjacks, and big groupers. The catamaran’s mobility allows you to hit the right zone at the right time (tides, wind, light, activity).

Target species & fighting profiles in Amirantes, Seychelles
Objective: maximize feeding windows by varying angles (windward/leeward sides), drift speeds, and lure density in active zones.
Seasonality: when to fish the Amirantes?
The prime window for an Amirantes fishing expedition generally runs from October to May. Conditions are more consistent (calmer seas, clear water, and sustained predator activity). From June to September, the southwest trade winds make the sea rougher and limit comfortable drifts — the warm season is therefore preferred for popping & jigging.
Life on board: the decisive advantage of a catamaran in Amirantes, Seychelles
Our catamarans serve as mobile bases: private cabins, rest areas, fresh meals, clear casting decks, and secure fighting positions. The typical program adapts to tides and wind:
The catamaran’s range allows island-hopping and tactical repositioning to take advantage of the best feeding windows, including African Bank when conditions allow.
