Great day out on the water with the family
Full Day Trip – Fishing/Beach BBQ on April 19, 20263 adults1 child

Myself, my husband and our 2 boys (11 and 13) went out with Captain Fish for the full day trip with snorkeling and beach bbq trip, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He shared great insights with us and really rolled with everything. Super knowledgeable and really good to the kids. When the fish weren't biting we moved to another spot. Everyone caught fish which was great. Snorkeling was fantastic and Fish looked out for us pointing out turtles and sharks in the water while he prepped lunch on the boat. The lunch which was cooked right on the beach was incredibly delicious (plus great rum punch!). Even our picky kids loved lunch and swimming around in the shallows while Fish cooked. A ride through the iguana preserve and under the bridge back to our resort's dock was the perfect way to end the trip. If you are considering booking a fishing tour or snorkeling trip seriously consider Fish 101 Belize. 5 stars!

Hi Kate, thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure having you, your husband, and the boys out on the water. I'm so glad everyone managed to land a catch and that even the picky eaters enjoyed the beach BBQ! Seeing the turtles and sharks is always a highlight, and I'm happy I could share those moments with your family. Hope to see you all back in Belize again soon

Night fishing on July 13, 20261 adult

Night fishing on the ocean was such an incredible experience! It was beautiful and sureal being out there in the dark with all the mysteries on the sea! Ian was very knowledgeable and fun to be around! He was just as excited to cath the fish as I was! A true fisherman at heart! I went alone on this trip and felt aomcomfortable and had so much fun, I immediately booked a second night trip for later on the week! You can't go wrong booking with Ian and you never know what's lurking out there in the dark!

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Taylor! It was an absolute pleasure having you out on the water. ​That first night was wild—those monster fish that pulled so hard we couldn’t stop them definitely kept us on our toes! I was so glad you came back out for round two to reel in those massive jacks. Solo trips are always special, and I’m so happy you felt comfortable, safe, and had as much fun as I did. ​You’re a true angler now! You’re welcome back on the boat anytime you're in Belize! 🎣 nighttime sea mysteries await

Amazing charter. Captain Diego was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient. Caught loads of fish and landed my first barracuda. Amazing stuff. Captain Diego took his time with each and every one of us in my party to ensure we all had a great experience. Will definitely be booking him in the future and recommend him to everyone!

Great Skipper, Great Day
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on April 3, 20263 adults

Fish is a knowledgeable and great guide and all around fun guy to be around. Worked with our schedule, got us on some nice barracuda and even dropped the family off at the water ferry in time for him to get us a bunch of fillets to go. Great day with me and my two kids!

Huge thanks for the awesome shoutout, Clifton! It was an absolute blast having you and the kids on the boat. Nothing beats the energy of a family reel-in, and I'm stoked we could get those barracuda fillets ready just in time for your ferry! Enjoy that fresh catch, and we can't wait to have you back on the water for another adventure soon!" fish101belize

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on April 2, 20261 adult1 child

Amazing private charter for my husband and son. They caught multiple types of snapper. Captian was very informative and helpful. He took us to 3 different locations and he even filleted the fish we caught for an amazing dinner.
