Stunning Deep Sea Game Fishing/Fish The Indian Ocean Off Tropical Desroches Island, Seychelles
As a deep sea game fishing destination, Desroches Island in the Seychelles is world-renowned. You will experience some of the best game fishing in the Seychelles. Located 230 km south west of Mahe, Desroches is part of the Amirantes group of islands in the Seychelles. The deep sea waters around Desroches and other islands in the Amirantes (such as Poivre and St Josephs) are yours to explore as you seek out the massive game fish that frequent this area. The island is famous for the “Desroches drop” with the ocean floor dropping off steeply from the coral plateau, providing the perfect habitat for an abundance of big game and other fish.
Desroches Island Beach Resort is well equipped with high quality ski boats and game fishing equipment for hire. The boats are manned by experienced skippers and crew.

While deep sea fishing in the surrounding ocean, you can stay at the beach resort on the tropical Desroches Island. Encircled by a 14 km white sandy beach and flat coral reef, Desroches is perfect for a secluded getaway or action-packed family beach holiday.
Luxury accommodation is in free-standing hotel suites or exclusive 4 bedroomed villas, all nestling privately in the coconut palms and tropical island forest on the very edge of the beach with beautiful views of the sea. Apart from the superb fishing, there are a never-ending exciting series of activities for the whole family or couples – swimming, diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, windsurfing, cycling and hiking. Or you can just relax and unwind on the beach or in the privacy of your hotel suite or villa. [View more info on Desoches Island Holidays]
