If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Bent Hook Adventure.

Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Great Barracuda, Hogfish, Horse-eye Jack, Lobster, Lionfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the season. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Capt. Joey is happy to have kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll step aboard a 25' Panga that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has a fighting chair, and all the essentials. Capt. Joey will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.

Wonderful experience and incredible crew!
4 Hour Trip – Bent Hook Reel Fun on July 4, 20264 adults

We were a group of four looking for a fun, easy going fishing experience. Captain Joey and First mate Albert were wonderful- helped us consistently, were on time, fully stocked and kind for our group of newbies. We had one person get sea sick and asked to go back to shore which they happily accomodated without making her feel bad. We did a half day trip and had great catches- enough to feed our beach staff the next day! Thank you again!

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
Spanish Mackerel

Thank you so much, Suzie, for your amazing review! It was a pleasure having you and your group aboard. We're so glad you enjoyed your half-day fishing trip and that we could make everyone feel comfortable, especially when one of your friends wasn't feeling well. We're thrilled you caught enough fish to share with your beach staff! Thank you for choosing Bent Hook Adventure, and we hope to welcome you back to Belize for another unforgettable day on the water. Tight lines! 🎣🌊

Good fishing with persistant captain.
4 Hour Trip – Bent Hook Reel Fun on March 18, 20263 adults3 children

we had a weather change with intermittent showers and wind switching to string North winds. When inner reef fishing proved to be difficult, we went through a channel oast tge reef in moderate swells and bottom fished catching ten snapper fir an evening meal and catching abd releasing trigger fish, parrot fish, and numerous others. Joey is an excellent guide and knows how to put you on fish. we had a productive morning of fishing. Would book again.

A Great Trip
4 Hour Trip – Bent Hook Reel Fun on February 6, 20262 adults

The captain and mate were both friendly and helpful. It was a windy day and the boat was stable and safe in the wavy condintions. It was clear the captain knew how to handle the conditions. I have gone on a number of charters and found this crew to be top notch. We felt like welcome guests. I highly recommend them if you are looking for pleasant day of fishing on the beautiful water of the Caribbean.

4 Hour Trip – Bent Hook Reel Fun on June 12, 20263 adults

We did a partial deep sea trip that started off with a nice barracuda, then it was tough with the sargassum on the lures. So we transitioned to reef and caught a few keepers. The captain and the first mate were top notch.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
Yellowtail Snapper

Thanks again Mr.Brent for choosing us.

I began my journey on the water as a boat captain, spending countless days navigating the beautiful seas and learning every detail about the ocean, the reefs, and the incredible marine life that calls it home. My passion for the sea and for sharing it with others inspired me to take the next step — earning my tour guide license. With that, I gained not just the knowledge of the marine world, but also the skills to educate and create memorable experiences for guests from all over the world. For several years, I worked with an established company, gaining valuable experience, refining my craft, and learning what it takes to deliver safe, fun, and unforgettable adventures. Those years gave me the foundation and confidence to take the leap and build something of my own. Today, I'm proud to run my own company, where I can combine my love for the sea with my passion for creating unique, personalized experiences. Every tour is more than just a trip on the water — it's a chance to share the beauty of our ocean, the excitement of adventure, and the joy of making lasting memories.
