Did a full day deep sea trip just me and the wife. Started with a missed bite then had a sail fish on a short time but the line broke. After that it slowed down for about 5 hours during which we did catch two barracuda. Dylan and Mario worked hard until the end and in the final 30 minutes we caught 4 Mahi. We had three on at once at the end!!! Great day fishing!! But then any day fishing is a great day!
Captain Eric and his crew were absolutely amazing. They did everything l to put us on some great fish. We caught blackfin tuna, and a massive barracuda. Captain Eric and his crew were amazing, super friendly and helped the ladies out to bring in a big tuna, highly recommend Captain Eric, his boat the Knotty fisherman, and his crew. They are what Belize is about.
Amazing boat. Captain Eric's fishing knowledge is superb, and his son was very helpful. They were great teaching our kids how to fish the reef, very patient and they caught a TON of fish!!! I would absolutely go out with them again. Highly recommended.
Had an awesome fishing trip with Captain Eric and Eric Jr.! These guys really know what they’re doing—super experienced, professional, and made the whole trip a great time from start to finish. They put us on the fish and made sure we enjoyed every minute out on the water. Highly recommend booking with them—we’ll definitely be back again!
first, the captain and crew are absolutely top notch in every aspect! the boat is professionally rigged and in like new condition. we caught a pile of baracuda, bonita tuna and almost had a billfish. Dont hesitate booking with these guys as they are the best in the buisness in Belize! Thanks captain and crew for the trip of a lifetime!!

Well maintained, clean, and very stable boat Capt. and mate were very professional and a lot of fun to fish with. Caught a variety of fish species using both bait and trolling. Enough filets to feed our group and more. If you want a bigger very comfortable boat and excellent crew, these are you guys.
Had lots of fun with these guys fishing a full day deep sea fishing, caught one nice Wahoo and 8 bonitas.

It's in their slogan - work hard, play hard (you'll even see a variation of that on their shirts). Those of you that really fish, know that the fish don't always bite. Eric and crew were hard working and knowledgable and stayed at it putting us in the best position to be successful, constantly cleaning lines of weeds and keeping baits in the strike zone. When one location didn't produce, they changed strategy and moved. The hard work payed off, and we were able to catch Mahi, Barracuda, and Black Fin. Eric even recommended a restaurant to cook up our catch. Definitely the best meal of the trip!
If you’re looking for the best fishing boat in Belize with a crew that gets you on fish, this is the one. Captain Eric and his buddy Chris were awesome. Went out of their way to make us have an exciting and enjoyable fishing day. Started the day with catching lots of barracuda, then on to the many types of snapper. We’ve fished plenty and this was by far my favorite crew! Full day deep sea…. Well worth it. Thanks guys, see you next time!
We had an amazing day with Captain Eric and his First Mate Chris. We immediately got on the fish and they kept it going. We got a variety of snappers, lobster and a barracuda. Once we hooked the barracuda they let our 12 yo daughter reel it in. She’s still smiling from that experience. In the afternoon Eric and Chris cooked up a delicious feast of the day’s catch. The lobster ceviche is officially the best ceviche I’ve ever had. That alone is enough to bring me back. Eric and Chris kept it fun all day long. My daughter thinks it was the highlight of our trip and I agree!!

The fishing was tough, but it happens. Captain Eric bumped the start back 2 hours because the fish were biting late in the day; and like he said we didnt see much til they spotted some tuna near the end of the trip. They trolled around birds and weed patches. Did everything right. The gear was great. The trolling spread was expertly deployed and maintained. We only ended up catching half a dozen barricuda, but not by any fault of the captain and crew.
