This is a first-class fishing trip.
8 Hour Trip – Fishing/BBQ on May 9, 20254 adults

The staff was knowledgeable, experienced, patient, quick to help, and friendly in all facets of the trip. They took us to multiple fishing spots, and everyone on board caught different types of fish. Not one of my family members complained about anything. We snorkeled, ate the fish we caught (so delicious ), and laughed a lot. The staff was very entertaining. Amazing job! We will be rebooking soon. I recommend!!

Amazing authentic Belizian experience
8 Hour Trip – Fishing/BBQ on March 13, 20252 adults

We literally caught fish within the first five minutes. I know this doesn't happen all the time but Captain Joel knows where to find the fish and how to fish for them! Also great fun catching conch and eating fresh ceviche. Yum! If you want a relaxing, yet fun day, this trip is highly recommended.

Fishing and tour guiding initially came as a means for survival. But it quickly became a passion of mine, a means to escape the turmoil life gives you. As a young boy, I started tagging along with fishermen that knew the seas of San Pedro like the back of their hands. It eases the burden of daily life struggles. It's not only a job but more of a passion and gratifying experience; it's an escape. My absolute favorite catches are Snapper and Grouper for grilling & Jack & Barracuda for fishing. Ever had to fight with a fish?
