Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks for you on board.

Full Day Trip – Innef Reef on December 16, 2024
If you like deep sea fishing and/or inner reef, you must fish with Roland and son on the “Comin in Hot”. Roland is a very knowledgeable captain and puts you on the fish. Nancy, his wife, makes the booking and meeting points easy without any issues. We would definitely fish with them again, very soon!

Placencia, Belize
Hi, I am Captain Roland Alford I grew up in the Sarstoon area; which is the river that divides Belize and Guatemala, however, I am a born Belizean. From a very young age, I was introduced to fishing by my father who taught me to be optimistic, hardworking, and humble at the same time. This was 30 years ago. My father was a fisherman and a hunter and that’s what I inherited from him. While growing up I got convinced that sports fishing was what I wanted to do for a living. I have worked with the Belize Fisheries Department and marine NGO’S which gave me the opportunity to learn the Belize Fishing Laws. However, the pace was too slow for me — I wanted to feel on top of the life. Thus, I was inspired by something more fun. I decided to venture into deep sea sports fishing and go for the big game fish such as the Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi — Also, bottom fishing for species such as Groupers, Queen Snappers, Champagne Snappers, Amber Jacks, and more. I have about 15 years in the tourism industry. I worked with several companies over the recent years, however, a year ago I decided to pursue my own business — something that I can manage and grow. Along with my girlfriend, Nancy Aguilar, who has helped me with this dream to come true — I also introduce her to fishing. Nancy is very efficient in areas in which I need help. Our main objective is to make you, our guests, have the best fishing experience in our jewel country of Belize.
