Freedom Tours – Trolling Passion
COVID-19 Update: Freedom Tours is open for business and ready to show you a great time while adhering to all the safety protocols.
Freedom Tours offers a range of fun fishing adventures, targeting delicious reef fish and hard-fighting pelagic species offshore. Captain Gilbert “Hilly Boo” Lara operates a fleet of awesome vessels out of San Pedro, each specializing in a different style of fishing.
This custom-built boat is a great all-rounder, large and sturdy enough to get way offshore in search of monster Marlin and Sailfish, without the high fuel burn which makes cruisers more expensive. She is also perfect for beach hopping, snorkeling tours, and anything else you might want to do on your day out.
The vessel has a convertible top to provide shade in the heat of the day, and an enclosed toilet for extra comfort on longer trips. She has a large icebox to keep all your drinks cool and she also comes with snorkeling equipment for you to jump in and take in the stunning local reefs up close.
The vessel is equipped with plenty of awesome fishing equipment. Outriggers and downriggers can be fitted for offshore trips and her GPS and fishfinder are always busy tracking down the best spots and the biggest fish.
What you do on your trip is up to you. You can spend the day fishing over the reefs for tasty Snapper and Grouper, or head further out to battle Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and more. No matter if you are fishing or snorkeling, Captain Hilly Boo’s boat has a full insurance covered! There is an additional 12.5% government sales tax charge on top of the trip price.
You can combine fishing with a beach cookout, where your captain will grill up a delicious feast while you relax, swim, and sunbathe on a remote beach.
Freedom Tours is all about giving groups the time of their lives and sending them home with more than just fish. Captain Hilly Boo’s ambition is for everyone to leave with awesome memories and a newfound love for the country and its waters.

Full Day Trip - Fish & Cookout
Perfect Day
Miss Carla and Capt Set took us for a full day of reef fishing license, beach lunch and snorkeling. They knew where the best spots to fish in beautiful baby blue water. We trolled some and caught huge Baracudas and Mackeral. Then we went to another location and caught dozens of Snapper and other fish. For lunch, they took us to a beautiful secluded beach, where my son and I played and rested in the water and also saw many bone fish there. Lunch was better then I expected. The potatoes I would describe as close to scalloped but better. The fish and lobster stew was out of this world incredibly yummy. I will 💯 recommend Freedom tours as a great Family outing with an incredible crew.

Full Day Trip - Reef Fishing

We met up at the dock with our Capt, Byron and First Mate/Chef George on time. We went reef fishing for the first half of and got roughly 15 snapper and a small barracuda. George was intent on bringing some spiny lobster into the boat but after a lot of trying, the lobster ran off. We got a magnificent lunch on a beach that included barracuda ceviche which was delicious. Being from FL I’m a non-barracuda eater but this stuff was top notch. Then George made us some salad, potatoes, beans and snapper tacos which were all killer as well. After a couple of rum punches we did some trawling and snagged a decent sized Jack Crevalle. Good day on sea. George was very pleasant and Byron was as well.

Full Day Trip - Offshore
Fabulous day on the water (Apr 2025)
Byron and crew were Rock Stars! They hooked me up with a beautiful Sailfish and Wahoo! Five Barracuda filled-out the day with plenty of action. We were on the water from 8am-4pm, with a one-hour break for lunch. They pulled into Tranquility Bay Resort dock and proceeded to make a delicious lunch including fresh Wahoo steaks and Barracuda fillets; along with rice & beans, creamed potatoes & corn, and sauteed vegetables. A veritable feast in a spectacular setting! A very memorable day.

Half Day Trip - Offshore (AM)
Great Crew
What a great crew! The crew was on top of everything! They kept the boat clean and were very attentive to watching the lines and making sure the lines were always fish ready. We caught the biggest Baracuda ever and few medium size Baracuda. We even caught my son's dream fish - a Dorado! We will definitely book them the next time we come back to Belize.
