Placencia Fishing Charters – Capt. Edlin
Placencia Fishing Charters – Capt. Edlin
Placencia Fishing Charters offers every type of fishing that Belize has to offer. Whether it's fly fishing in the flats, bottom fishing the reefs, or heading offshore for some big game fishing – this place has it all. Captain Edlin Leslie is a 4th generation local fisherman and is proud to carry on his family legacy. With saltwater in his veins, his profession doubles up as his passion, and combines to give each trip a warm, personal touch.
For such diverse waters, you'll need a versatile boat. Fortunately, the 25' Fiberglass angler boat does just the job. Powered by a 115 HP Yamaha four stroke engine, you'll smoothly drift along the waters wherever you are. A light boat, she'll navigate the shallow waters with ease, while she has plenty about her to stay steady offshore. Fitted with a 12' canopy to protect you from the sun, she also features all the latest safety and navigational equipment.
You'll find the latest Penn, Sedona, Daiwa, and Orvis fishing gear on board, and you'll catch live bait as part of the journey for a full fishing experience. On the flats, ideal for fly fishing, you'll go after every angler's favorite, Tarpon, as well as Permit and Bonefish. Head to the reefs, and you'll get the chance to go snorkeling among the beautiful fish. Go after delicious Snappers, Groupers, and exciting Barracudas, Amberjacks, and more. And, just 21-22 miles offshore, you can find majestic Marlin and tasty Mahi Mahi – the list goes on and on.
At the end of your trip, the captain or his first mate will clean and prepare your catch for you to bring back home or to take to a beachside restaurant. On full-day trips, of fishing and snorkeling combination you'll be treated to a hearty meal of the day's catch on the grill, BBQ-chicken, baked beans, roasted vegetables, Scalloped potatoes, and fresh tropical fruit. Drinks and snacks are provided only on full-day trips. Experience Belizean hospitality at its finest and get your fish on with Placencia Fishing Charters!

We had a wonderful day out on the water with the captain and crew. This was the highlight of our trip and it did not disappoint! The team helped us find where the fish were and we reeled in enough for a wonderful dinner in town (Harbor View fish prep was amazing - highly recommend!) and have a full cooler to make ceviche and bring some frozen fish home with us. I would recommend this charter to anyone interested in catching fish!

We were a group of four, 3 men 1 women all day reef fishing We arrived by 8 Boat was ready to go and We headed out it was sunny and calm . First stop we made for live bait they filled the livewell.We first troll live bait hooked up instantly after everyone had caught fish A buddy called bottom fish we're biting After a couple of hours of none stop catching we went back on the troll and caught more Overall we got 40 plus fish of 10 different species Capt Edlin was fun and personal and knows how to put you on the Fish
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed review! We're happy to hear everything ran smoothly from the moment you arrived and that the conditions were perfect for a great day on the reef. 🪸🎣 It sounds like the bite was on fire- from live bait trolling to nonstop bottom fishing and such an impressive variety of species. Catching 40+ fish is an unforgettable day by anyone's standard! Captian Edlin will be especially glad to hear your kind words. He takes pride in making every trip fun, personal, and successful.Thank you for choosing Placencia Fishing Charters and we hope to fish with you again on your next visit.
Capt Edlin and crew were amazing! We headed out to the reef in the morning for some Wahoo and Grouper…unfortunately conditions werent ideal but we got to ride the high seas and it was awesome. We came back over the reef and hit a TON of Barracuda and the entire family caught at least one (12 total) and it was a blast! Weather was perfect and we got to see a lot of the great outer islands along the way. Would definitely recommend!!! Thanks for the unforgettable ride!
We caught all kinds of fish!! The captain was very knowledgeable in the area and the islands. on the way back we saw manatees. When we got back to the dock they cleaned the fish and treated us like family.
Doug and Drake were great! We were striking out but they're diligence got us 10 barracuda and two snapper. Very nice for a half day! Also very happy to support a local family business. I would definitely do it again.
Thank you so much for the great review!🙏 Doug and Dre will be happy to hear this-persistence always pays off out there, and 10 Barracuda plus two snapper is a solid half-day on the water! 🎣 We truly appreciate your support of our local family business, and we're glad we could turn the day around for you. We'd love to have you back again anytime!
