San Pedro, Belize

COVID-19 Update: Freedom Tours is open for business and ready to show you a great time while adhering to all the safety protocols.

Capt. 'Hillyboo' Lara, the owner/ operator of Freedom Fishing Tours Unlimited, wishes to show you a premium fishing experience in San Pedro, Belize. His large fleet of custom-built boats will accommodate anglers of every level of experience and can fish the variety of waters Belize has to offer.

'Lucky Strike' is a 28 foot Chris Craft custom built for reef fishing in the area. Equipped with a canopy to keep you sheltered from the sun and a livewell for your live bait, the boat can navigate the reefs with ease, and has enough space on board for you to tackle some of the big catches that can be found in the local waters.

San Pedro is located very close to the reef, and you only have to travel a few minutes before you're in 600 to 2000 feet of water. This allows you to make the most out of your time by starting to fish almost immediately. A typical trip will usually involve a combination of bottom fishing and trolling, allowing you to make the most of your time on the water by trying different techniques depending on how the fish are biting on the day. While trolling, you will typically take turns fishing, the captain runs 2 to 5 lines depending on whether you're trolling the reefs or deep sea trolling, but the whole group will be able to fish at the same time when bottom fishing.

If you're looking for more than just a typical day or half day fishing trip you can try night fishing or go on a whole day picnic trip. Night fishing puts you in the best place to target Tarpon. Cubera Snapper, Jacks and Sharks. If you're hoping to catch a trophy fish this trip might put you in good stead: a record-breaking 234 pound Tarpon was caught in this area just a few years ago!

No matter if you are fishing or snorkeling, Captain Hilly Boo's boat has a full insurance covered! There is a 12.5% government sales tax that goes with each tour.

Full Day Inshore Reef Fishing Trip on March 29, 20266 adults1 child
We chose to do the full day reef fishing with lunch. We started the day with George diving for conch, net casting for live bait, and then moved on to fish. We were not having luck at the forst few stops and George and Jones quickly made the decision to move on to another spot until we found one where the fish were biting. Everyone in our group was able to catch something. After we had plenty of fish, we headed to the beach where they served the best fresh conch civiche, and some of the fish we caught fried up and crispy. What made this trip the BEST was truly the crew, and their hospitality. They were helpful and made jokes with our 7 year old son, and mindful of the safety of some older adults. I would give this tour and crew 10/10 and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Island Reef Fishing with Freedom Tours – Incredible Experience
Half Day Inshore Reef Fishing (AM) on December 9, 20254 adults
We had an amazing time on our island reef fishing trip with Freedom Tours Belize. Everything from start to finish was top-tier. Our group caught 32 fish — mostly different kinds of snapper and a few mackerel — and the fresh sashimi on the boat was unbelievable. Truly one of the highlights of the day. Carla and the captain were excellent — super knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience fun and easy, even for beginners. You can tell they really love what they do. I highly recommend Freedom Tours to any group looking for a great day on the water. Can't wait to come back!

Night Fishing is the Ticket.
Night Fishing Trip on November 24, 20251 adult
This was my first time night fishing in Belize, and I wish I'd tried it sooner. Byron and Greg know the lagoon extremely well — it showed when the lights went out on the run back, and they navigated without hesitation. They put us on sardines right away, and we loaded the livewell with solid black, mutton, and schoolmaster snapper on light tackle. We also picked up a 20-lb tarpon and a 10-lb barracuda, which was a nice bonus to wrap up the night. If you're looking for a dependable night-fishing crew in Belize, I'd recommend Byron and Greg.

let me just start by saying family owned business. Father and son what a beautiful legacy. We caught so many fish we were exhausted from catching so many we called the trip early.. OUR Choice. So friendly so funny and super accommodating. These guys are no joke they know their stuff. I'm going back this week maybe even twice more. it's just an experience you just can't miss.
