 MV-Dugong The Dugong is an ex-research vessel which has been upgraded and modified into a mother ship catering for long range fly fishing expeditions. The vessel can accommodate up to twelve fly fishermen, four FlyCastaway guides, as well as eight crew members who cater for your every need. A large, spacious and extremely stable vessel, The Dugong is the perfect base with which to explore the remote outer atolls of the Seychelles and other Indian Ocean waters. As a fly fisherman it would be difficult to find a better boat from which to operate out of, with its ability to store and transport four tender boats on its spacious aft deck. Because of its large size and high fuel storage capacity, The Dugong can cover long distances in comfort and at good speed in almost any sea conditions, opening up new possibilities for exploring the Seychelles and surrounding areas.The four tender boats were specifically designed to maximise the conditions found in the Indian Ocean, which will without question enhance your fishing experience when fishing the outer atolls of the Seychelles. Each is a 2009 17.3 ft Angler mono-hull which carries a single 90 HP 2-Stroke Yamaha engine. The boats have been specifically designed and fitted to fish both the flats and offshore waters of the Seychelles in comfort and safety. These Angler boats have a draft of approximately 9 inches allowing us to access some extremely shallow areas of the atolls; however the main attraction still lies in wading the flats. These boats are also sure to make the excellent offshore fishing far more enjoyable and rewarding as all of them are equipped with a GPS and fish finder. Other added features include fly rod storage fittings, Bimini Tops and cushioned seats. Each one is captained by an experienced FlyCastaway guide, who carries a fully qualified skipper’s ticket.
During your stay on the vessel there will be four FlyCastaway guides including one head guide onboard. Each guide is a qualified skipper, has first aid experience and is extremely experienced with regards all facets of fly fishing these remote saltwater destinations. Their passion and dedication is infectious and rest assured they will definitely go the extra mile in search of your fish of a lifetime.
