Spend the day with Captain Tayo and cast for your dreams over the flats of San Pedro! As he has logged many years of experience with the moon and tides, Captain Tayo knows these waters forwards and back.

These waters are known for Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Great Barracudas, Jack Crevalle, Mackerels, Cobia, Grunt, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper, Catfish, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!

On these trips, fly fishing is the best. Doesn't matter if you are a novice or a professional. Capt. Tayo also offers trolling and bottom fishing using light tackle or spinning rods, but you may need to bring your own gear. If you don't own a fly rod or spinning rod the captain will assist you.

You'll be welcome aboard on a 23' flats boat with space for 2 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods and reels are not included, but if you don't own one Captain Tayo will provide you. Be sure to ask about bait lures, live bait is included but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10-20% tip is customary.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, Source: (Coastal Zone Management Authority & Institute | CZMAI ) or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring, sunglasses, sunscreen, and UV clothing. Drinks will be available for you, water, sodas, and ice. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but not provided on the package. There will be lunch and some light snacks available on board.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Captain Tayo?

great trip even though no tarpon!
Special 6 hour trip for Ashley Leopold on March 29, 20261 adult

The captian gave me a good deal, pricewise! my main goal was to catch a tarpon, but unfortunately, we were not successful. We ended up finding a rolling group of them, but couldn't successfully hook on. The captain searched really hard to find more, but we were not successful. We stayed an hour past the allotted time and I had to call it quits. You could tell he really wanted me to get that tarpon. Besides that I did catch three barracuda, two bonefish and a Jack. I appreciated the captains passion for fishing and commitment to getting me the catch. I never really saw him on his phone. It seemed like he was always looking at the water trying to find signs of fish. I appreciate that because you don't see that a lot nowadays.

FISH WITH CAPTAIN TAYO!! HE WAS THE BEST
Flats fishing/snorkeling on February 25, 20262 adults

Our experience fishing in Belize with Captain Tayo and his crew was absolutely outstanding. During our visit, we spent three full days on the water with them, and every day was memorable. From the moment we started, the service was seamless—Captain Tayo conveniently picked us up directly from our hotel dock, which made everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout our trip, we had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities. We went offshore fishing and caught snapper, targeted tarpon, and even spent time conch diving and lobster diving. Captain Tayo and his crew are incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and made sure we were always in the best spots to catch fish and enjoy the experience. One of the highlights of the trip was feeding the tarpon—something we had mentioned wanting to do. Captain Tayo made it happen and ensured we got to experience it up close. It was an unforgettable moment for our whole group. What made the trip even more special was how accommodating the crew was with our family. We had two kids with us, and they had an absolute blast. The crew was patient, friendly, and made sure the kids felt involved and safe while still keeping the adventure exciting. If you're visiting Belize and looking for a fishing charter that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Captain Tayo and his team. Their professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality made our trip one we'll never forget. We truly got to experience the best of Belize's fishing, diving, and marine life all in one adventure.

fantastic guide
A Full day flats fishing! on July 8, 20262 adults

Firstly what an absolute gentleman. Some guides like to scream and shout at you however, Tayo has a very calm demeanor and still gets the job done. Tayo worked hard to put us on the fish with great instructions. We caught bones and tarpon but not surprisingly we didn't see the elusive permit. Tayo is an excellent guide and I couldn't recommend him enough.

next time we will get the elusive permits, Tayo the epic will get it done!

Great experience on the flats.
Half day on the flats! on April 11, 20261 adult

I had an incredible experience out on the water with Captain Tayo. His expertise is undeniable; not only did he help me land my first barracuda and bonefish, but he also put me on the ultimate prize—a permit. Beyond the catches, I walked away with a wealth of knowledge about flats fishing and a newfound respect for the skill required to complete a Belizean trifecta. It was a truly humbling and rewarding day.
