5.0/5 (13 reviews)

Pole along the shallow, calm waters and experience ultimate fly fishing in San Pedro with 'GoFish Belize'! The endless turtle grass flats and shallow mangroves provide incredible opportunities for landing seriously gamey inshore fish.

Captain Abner 'Abbie' Marin is a local pro, born and raised on the island. He started GoFish Belize in 1996 and in the meantime, it's grown to become the top locally owned and operated fly fishing charter on the island!

Hop aboard a 23' Lanchon flats boat, ideal for a pair anglers where one angler can fish at a time. Her slender design makes her perfect for navigating these productive shallow waters. There's a spacious platform for you to cast from and reel in your targets. You'll entice their bite with bait kept fresh in the live well and store drinks and snacks in the ice box.

All the fish you'll go after are seriously fun to catch. Your angling skills are put to test against the mighty Tarpon, elusive Permit, and invisible Bonefish. If it's your first-time fly fishing, let Capt. Abbie know and he'll give you a crash course. He'll also bring along spinning gear in case you feel like switching things up.

Just remember, trips aboard GoFish Belize are strictly catch and release. Snap a great photo and send your fish off to keep on swimming. You'll find all of the gear you need for a productive day on board, as well as bottled water, ice, and sodas. Store any other drinks and snacks you'd like to have in the cooler.

All you'll need to bring is a valid fishing license, sun protection, and polarized sunglasses. Capt. Abbie works hard to make sure you have a good time and if you're happy with the service a 20% tip is customary. He's also happy to pick up and drop you off at the dock closest to where you're staying for an additional $30 fee.

Experience some of the best saltwater fly fishing there is aboard GoFish Belize!

Made the best of less than ideal conditions
Full Day Trip on February 8, 20242 adults
Abbie and Amil took my girlfriend and I out for a full day of inshore fishing. Before we blasted off, Abbie informed us that fly fishing for Bonefish would be extremely difficult and said that he had a backup plan. I, of course hated that I couldn't fly fish but the water was dirty from all of the wind and the wind was howling. Truth be told, I was just hoping my gf could catch one bonefish and she caught 3 so we were pleased. Abbie and Amil really went to great lengths to make for a good day of fishing despite the poor conditions. Abbie was very patient with my gf and did a great job instructing her. We were both very thankful. Additionally, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch. Provided at a very reasonable price. The camaraderie and conversation was entertainin and interesting. My GF and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water and would highly recommend Go Fish Belize for a great day of fishing in beautiful Belize.

Flats Fishing with GoFish Belize
Half Day Trip on May 24, 20232 adults
Spent a full day on the water on the flats with Captain Abner and his son Amir chasing bonefish, tarpon, and permit on fly tackle. Both of them were very patient with me as a novice saltwater fly fisherman. They worked very hard to get me shots at fish. Aside from catching a grand slam, I learned so much. The next morning, my wife and I fished with Captain Carlos for bonefish and tarpon on spinning tackle. Carlos worked very hard to get us shots and was very helpful with my wife who has little fishing experience. We had a great time. Everyone in this outfit communicated very well from the time of booking to being dropped off at the dock on our last day. I hope to fish with them again!

Savannah Flats for Big Tarpon
Full Day Trip on April 18, 20241 adult
Great day in pursuit of big tarpon. Abner and his son did a fantastic job finding the fish, but they proved elusive most of the day. Patience did allow a number of good shots with 2 hook ups, but unfortunately no fish caught. Nevertheless who thoroughly recommend Abner whose experience and guidance was greatly appreciated on a special day's fishing in stunning surroundings.

Full day flats with capt. Abbie
Full Day Trip on June 7, 20232 adults
Had a great time. We hooked up with several 100lb. Plus Tarpon and man did they do a number on me and us. Capt'n was awesome and worked hard to always put us in a great position to be successful. As always I learned more about chasing these Giants and how extremely difficult and challenging they become when the top that 100lb. Mark. Had a great day on the water and can't wait to get after em again!!

The trip from start to finish was amazing. Abby and Gigi were extremely knowledgeable about the place that has been home to them for generations. Love the passion they had for fishing and our environment. They worked hard to put us on the fish and had to do a little traveling due to the commercialization of the other islands. My son and I both landed tarpon and bone fish. Would definitely recommend!
