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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Island Reef Fishing with Freedom Tours – Incredible Experience
Half Day Fishing Trip (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.

Full Day Fishing Trip on February 12, 20253 adults
There was a lot of wind to deal with but Captain Hillyboo worked hard to get us on fish. Our hope was for barracuda and we caught barracuda and a bonus lemon shark. We finished off with some snapper to take back and cook up for dinner. Definitely would book another trip the next time we are in San Pedro. Thanks Allen
