Hardcore Fishing Charters – 23'
Do you want to test your angling skills in the waters of Belize? Maybe you're an avid fisher looking for the next trophy catch? Hardcore Fishing Charters can put you on the best bite, whatever your skill level or preference!
Captain Erwin Westby invites you to join him for a fishing excursion on board his 23' Imemsa Panga. This design is ideal for fishing the flats because of its shallow drafts – you'll be able to access the lagoons and shallow waters all across the locale. It's powered by a 70HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine and can handle 3 anglers plus the crew.
The charter offers various trips, able to cater to any angler's tastes. Looking to master your fly cast? Head out into the flats around Placencia and hook up Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon. If you're a fan of trolling you can go after Kingfish and other species. Fans of spin casting can look forward to hitting the reefs and where you can go after various Jacks, Snappers, Barracuda, Mackerel, and other fish.
The crew will provide you with all the tackle you may need on a trip but you're free to bring your favorite rod if you want to. If you're a first-timer, don't worry, the crew will instruct you and help you learn the basics. If you're a master angler they'll assist you in your quest for the hottest bite.

my Husband has gone on several offshore fishing trips. Hiwever, this was my first experience offshore fishing..we both had a great time with Captain Martin. He went the extra mile..literally and figuratively...to find the fish...And we did! We had a lot of fun and though we had no way of taking our fish back to the states, Martin suggested that he fillet a few as he knew our hotel restaurant chef would cook them up for us...we did just that and ate our catch that night. Great experience.
Martin did a great job getting me on fish. Worked his butt off considering the weather conditions. I will definitely book again. Great guy! Plenty of opportunities at permit. Thanks Martin!!!!
We had fun fishing with you guys yesterday. Thanks from hardcore fishing charters.
Martin was very accommodating. He tried to go to places where tarpon should have been. When no tarpon was found, he took us other places. The only downside was that the motor had an electrical problem and would cut out on a run to various locations. Still we caught and landed 5 fish.
