Operating out of San Pedro, Belize, Reel, Grill & Chill Belize is a boutique company specializing in private charters only. Get picked up at your hotel dock and take a leisurely cruise out to the reef for an awesome angling experience. Whether it be fishing for the Big-1, snorkeling, or even some beach hopping, look no further!
Captain Wilfred Leslie welcomes you aboard a 23’ custom-built flats boat that can comfortably carry up to 4 anglers of all skill levels. Fully overhauled in 2018, it features the latest and the best safety gear, a reliable Mercury four-stroke engine, handheld GPS with a compass and navigation lights, a live bait tank, and an ice-box to keep your drinks cool and refreshing. On board, you’ll also be able to go snorkeling.
Get ready for some exciting inshore, nearshore, reef, and flats fishing! Captain Wilfred will show you the most productive spots known only to locals and the most efficient fishing techniques. This will include bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and even fly fishing if you bring your own gear.
All other fishing equipment and bait will be covered by the charter. You’ll be using shrimp and sardines, or frozen bait. Depending on the bite and the trip type, you could be reeling in the likes of Cobia, Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel, and a variety of Snapper (Mangrove, Mutton, Yellowtail).
Drinks are also included on all charters – just bring any food you’d like to have on your trip.
Reel, Grill & Chill Belize will take care of the rest and make sure your trip is fun and productive!

Full Day Trip – Reef Fishing
Great local fishing guid
This was thw best fishing experience of our life's. The catch and cook bbq was the best. Very skilled chef the captain was and some of the best ceviche we've had. We caught alot of fish and the captain went above and beyond to cook a great meal for us. I would book again and recommend to anyone. This guy knows his stuff. Reminded me of me when I fish with novice fishermen and how he helped me set my rig up and knowledge to set the hooks when I get bites.

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (AM)
Willie is the BOMB!
2nd time out with Willie. I am a bass fisherman for 40+ years but do little or no ocean fishing. Willie flat out puts you on the fish. He will teach you as much about current, location, structure, technique as you want….or just let you crank 'em in. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him and the experience on the water. You wanna chat? He chats, you want silence…..you got it. He adapts to every passenger, situation, and condition to make sure you get your experience with him is fantastic. My wife likes to "catch" not "fish". Willie makes sure her day on the water is BETTER than mine. She loves the experience and I love she loves it. Willie does have 8 children so we had a talk about new hobbies (dirt bikes, finger painting, etc) but his kindness and love for all people is over the moon. I have fished with guides all over the world, Willie is the best I have had the pleasure of fishing with without exception. Tight lines brother!

Full Day Trip – Fish+Snorkel+BBQ
Willy is awesome!
We spent an amazing day out with Captain Willy. He comes from multiple generations of fisherman and his knowledge goes far beyond just fish. He knows so much about the reef and the island - and is a damn good cook. The meal be made for us from the barracuda and various snapper species we caught with his expert guidance, was fantastic (and included silverware, haha). The ceviche and coconut rice were the best we've had in Belize! The guided snorkeling tour to finish the day was also perfect - we even saw sea turtles and a moray eel. Thank you, Captain Willy for a truly special day!!

Captain Willy is Great
Captain Willy was at the pick up spot early, took us out to catch some live bait then we headed to the reef and got on fish immediately, had to have caught 50+ fish between the two of us in the trip! After a we rinsed up the bait he took us to a near by beach and cooked the fish we had just caught. Easily some of the best ceviche I've ever had! After that he took us out to the reef for some snorkeling. Pops had a hard time in the water and Willy was right there to help him out. Do yourself a favor and book a full day fishing, bbq, and snorkeling with Captain Willy and I guarantee you won't regret it. Thanks for everything today Willy 🙏🏽

Jacks, Barracuda, and snapper!
Captain Willy is the best on the island. 37 years of experience, local knowledge, and works to make your trip memorable. We ran several miles to get us on fish. I've been on three other chartered trips out of San Pedro and this was by far the most enjoyable and the best "inside the reef". He owns and operates his own boat and picked us up with live bait in the tank. I would recommend at any skill level but highly recommend if you and your crew have some level of fishing experience. I wouldn't go with anyone else from here on out. Looking forward to our next trip!
