    Night fishing on July 13, 2026 • 1 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!

    Great day out on the water with the family

    Full Day Trip – Fishing/Beach BBQ on April 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 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!

    An unforgettable day on the water with a truly epic result! We started our morning on the reef, first focusing on catching live bait. The live-baiting paid off quickly and beautifully. For this young lady, it was her very first time ever going fishing, so we were just hoping for a fun day and a few bites. What happened next was beyond anyone's expectations! She hooked into a monster, and it was a battle. After a thrilling fight, she successfully landed this incredible, truly massive Amberjack. Not only was it her first-ever fish, but it is also her personal best—a record that will be very hard to beat! To see her achievement on her debut trip was amazing. Both she and her fishing partner are absolutely thrilled with this phenomenal catch. A perfect day of reef fishing! The photos show the smiles and the incredible size of the fish. What a way to start a fishing hobby! We can't wait to see what she catches next.
