Cosmoledo Atoll 2020, 2021 & 2022

Cosmoledo Atoll is regarded as one of the world’s most impressive fisheries. While considered as being the giant trevally capital of the world, Cosmoledo also plays host to an impressive number of other fish. Bonefish, milkfish, permit, bluefin trevally, sailfish, tuna and a variety of other species regard this pristine expanse of sand and coral flats as home. Built in 2018 the new eco lodge sits discreetly on Wizard Island and provides the perfect base for one of saltwater’s most exciting adventures.

Astove Atoll 2020 & 2021

Astove Atoll has come to the forefront of the Indian Ocean operations as the home of large GTs and is regarded as one of the wildest most rugged and secluded fisheries. It is a ecosystem of contrasting environments where the daily rhythm and drama life on the reef is played before your very eyes. Fishing only 6 rods, it is a rare exclusive opportunity and privilege to gaze into a world, which has changed very little in the years that have passed.
