Checkpoint's vision

"The vision for Checkpoint is simple: to become the most trusted source for finding world-class saltwater fly fishing trips. I've leveraged my network from guiding in the Seychelles to ensure that every destination on Checkpoint is one we'd book ourselves."

Steve Raath, Founder of Checkpoint

I spent 18 months guiding on Alphonse and Astove Islands in the Seychelles, two world-renowned saltwater fly fishing destinations. Over that time I built relationships with lodges and guides across the Indian Ocean and beyond. I know what makes a trip truly exceptional, and I'm here to make sure yours is.

Checkpoint exists to connect serious anglers with the right lodge, in the right season, with a clear picture of exactly what to expect when they get there.
