Ambergris Street
San Pedro, Belize

Unearth some of the gems of the Caribbean with Suya Tours. Head out from San Pedro and discover a world of diverse fishing. From inshore fly fishing to reef fishing offshore, and even the chance to go snorkeling, there’s no end to the fun you’ll have – all the while learning about the stunning nature of Belize.

Captain Rogel Sanchez is a native to the area. A passionate fisherman and Belizian, he promises to show you an authentic local fishing experience. He’ll take you to all the best fishing spots, and will even help you cook up your catch on a full day trip.

Light and nimble, the 25’ custom-built center console will carry you comfortably across the shallow waters, and she can take on the choppy waters, too. There’s plenty of space for up to 5 guests, while 2 people can engage in fly fishing adventures. Capt. Rogel will provide plenty of drinks and there’s a toilet on board, so you won’t worry about getting caught short.

When it comes to fishing, you’ll use the latest rods and reels along with live bait and a range of artificial lures. The shallow waters are home to some of the world’s most sought-after inshore fish. Test your skills on the fly against Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, and more. These tough-fighting monsters will be a challenge for any angler, so make sure to bring your A-game.

Head out to the reefs and discover a range of exciting and delicious fish. Bottom fish these productive waters and land yourself a tasty treat for dinner. From Snappers and Groupers to Jacks, Barracuda, and even Mahi Mahi, there’s no end to what you can catch. Get ready to fill the boat!

On full day trips, you’ll break up the day by heading to the beach and grilling up your catch. Make sure not to fill up too much, though, as an afternoon of snorkeling lies ahead, and you’ll have some fish left over for dinner. Your captain will clean and fillet your catch, so head to a beachside restaurant and devour the fruits of your labor.

Hop aboard Suya Tours and hunt for treasure!

Half day reef fishing on December 31, 20252 adults
Captain Sanchez took us right to the fish and moved around to keep up with the fish. We caught and kept 36 fish consisting of various snapper and yellow tail. He baited our lines and cleaned our fish to cook back at our rental. He is a very experienced captain and we enjoyed our time with him. We had a great new year and even shared beers with him at the new years celebration. We will definitely be booking him for more adventures. He does his best to ensure you are having a great time. Can't say enough good things about him. Highly recommend!

It doesn't get better than Capt Rogel and 1st mate Burger
Full Day Beach Cook on March 23, 20254 adults
It would be hard to imagine two more fun and fish filled days on the water than the ones Captain Rogel and his first mate Burger gave us. They're friendly, entertaining, first-rate teachers and experienced professionals who know the water and put us at ease immediately. On day one the 4 of us boated more snappers and mackerel than we could count, which Burger turned into a delicious beach BBQ lunch, and the captain gave me and my son a flyfishing lesson for the hundreds of bonefish cruising the flats just off the beach. We ended the afternoon taking our time at a great snorkeling site. We had so much fun we had to book again, this time for a day of snorkeling with lunch in Caye Caulker. Burger picked us up early and got us to the popular snorkeling sites before the crowds showed up and we then headed for Caye Caulker. A gorgeous day in and out of the water. I also have to mention that my son left his watch on the boat and the captain went out of his way and drove back into town to get it back to us that evening. Book Captain Rogel, you will not be disappointed.

Half Day Trip – Fly Fishing (MAX 2) on February 24, 20252 adults
First trip with Rogel was flyfishing for bonefish. I'm an intermediate flyfisher, friend beginner. This was a physical and mental challenge for us Colorado girls not used to distance casting /ocean. He was an excellent teacher and extremely patient and supportive. He worked hard to give us chances and some hard fought success. :) I had so much fun I booked him again with another friend for half day reef fishing/lobster spearfishing later in the week. Again i appreciated how he sized us up/pushed us. I think it was our best day in Belize. Conch, lobster and snapper --more than we can eat. Lots of smiles and laughs. Thanks Rogel, I will be back. Book without hesitation.

Half day reef fishing on November 26, 20252 adults
Capt. Rogel was on time and ready to go. My son 13yrs old and I had an excellent half day reef fishing. We are both avid fisherman and know how to handle a rod and reel. Rogel put us on a lot of fish, snapper specifically. We apprecited how if the spot didnt feel right Capt Rogel would move quickly to another spot. He filleted the fish for us after it was caught, and we had a great lunch at Rum Dog where they cook up your catch!

Half day reef fishing on January 2, 20262 adults
Captain Rogel was timely picking two us up and nothing but professional on our half day reef fishing trip. If bait came off, it was promptly put on and back in the water in seconds. Caught numerous fish and he cleaned the few that we took home to cook. Delicious Red and Yellow Tail Snapper Highly recommend Captain Rogel.
