Meet the beauties and variety of Belizean marine life with Captain Nato. Captain Nathaniel (Nato) Verde has over 20 years of experience as a fishing guide and he’s also a native in the biggest fishing community of Belize. He will take you fishing on the northern side of the island and partly central Belize, which include inland lagoons, rivers, reefs, and wadeable flats.

Capt. Nato will take you fishing on his 24’ flats boat, newly built in 2017. There’s enough space for 2 guests to fish in comfort. The boat is powered by a 70 HP Yamaha engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 35 knots. She also has a poling platform, coolers, and a live bait tank.

You can fish the saltwater flats for Tarpon, Permit, and Bonefish, backcountry for Snook, or go in the second largest barrier reef of the world for Snapper, Jack Crevalle, and Barracuda. You can do spinning or fly fishing, just inform the captain in advance to check if he can supply fishing equipment.

The trip also includes snorkeling equipment upon request, lunch, water, and other soft drinks. After the trip, he will clean and fillet your catch. The only thing you need to prepare in advance is your fishing license.

Whether you’re a novice or an experienced angler, Capt. Nato will make this trip unforgettable. Choose your trip and go fishing.

Great trip full of action!
Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis on May 28, 20252 adults
Nato was prompt, friendly, and got us on fish. We started the day chasing Bonefish. Nato introduced me to a fly rod and put us on fish. Later in the day we chased tarpon in the mangroves. Nato spotted several and i saw two or three of those. We lamded one barracuda in the mangroves and had plenty of bites that I failed to land. Also caught a red snapper. Great day of learning for this novice fisherman!

Half Day Trip – Fly Fishing (AM)/sp on June 2, 20251 adult
Great captain!! Nato has a great sense of humor, extremely knowledgeable about the fish and where they live and how to catch them. Helped me hone my fly casting and double haul. Was extremely patient. Can't say enough great things, definitely would #1 recommend Captain Nato!! And shout out to first mate Luis, a huge help in getting me rigged up and swapping rods. Thanks you too so much!!

Great captain and guide!
Half Day Trip – Fly Fishing (AM)/sp on July 16, 20252 adults
Captain Nato knew exactly where the fish were, his equipment was in good shape, and he had a wide selection of flys and the intimate knowledge of the local waters to know what would work!

Half day trip fly fishing or spinfi on July 9, 20253 adults
Overall, the experience was really good. We wanted to catch Tarpon, which would have made the trip great. Unfortunately, we didn't but we did catch bone fish & barracuda. I think having live bait or cut bait would have helped get a tarpon but no one on the island could get live bait due to the sargassum in the water. It was a good fishing day and I'd book with Captain Nate again!
