checkpoint verdict
"Alphonse is a dream location for passionate fly anglers but also perfect for a family trip. I don't think there's better bonefishing out there and if you're looking to tick off a milkfish, you'll struggle to find a destination with more opportunities."
Steve Raath, Guide on Alphonse & Astove Islands
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.
