Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Palapa Tours is a charter service based on Ambergris Caye that provides a diverse range of packages, going from snorkeling trips to deep sea fishing. It's run by Captain Chip Myvett, whose enthusiasm about fishing is contagious. He and his crew will make sure you get a trip that is tailored to your individual needs and wants.
You will be fishing aboard a 30' Bradley center console boat that's powered by two 200 HP Yamaha engines that can have it going up to an impressive 45 knots. In addition to all the necessary safety and navigation gear, the boat also comes with a fighting chair, outriggers, as well as a livewell for your bait.
If you're looking to catch some big game fish, then you should definitely check out Captain Chip's deep sea fishing packages. Among the fish you will encounter are Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and more. Those in the mood for something different can check out his spearfishing and reef fishing options which are a great option for landing lots of Grouper and Snapper.
If you're not all that interested in fishing, but like a hands-on approach, why not go snorkeling? The sights are beautiful to behold, and you will be able to see plenty of Manatees and Seahorses.
The price includes all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as light snacks and water. After the trip, anything you catch will be cleaned for your convenience. Pack a pair of polarized sunglasses, bring a camera, and you're good to go.

My young son and I had a great time fishing for a half day! We caught fish and were able to fish closet to the mangroves. They went above and beyond for us and caught a conch that we are raw on the boat! The boat was in good condition and they listened to what we needed! Highly recommended!

Chip and David gave us a great day overall. Fishing was slow to start the afternoon but we saw a large pod of dolphins which was a great bonus. We didn’t give up and found a seaweed line with the tide coming in and were able to land 4 barracudas. No mahi mahi or tuna on this trip but overall the day was fun. Also got to see one manta ray off the side of the boat. The boat was smaller than expected but handled the seas well and the crew was knowledgeable in the area. The fighting belt was left inshore by accident but otherwise the gear was well equipped. Thanks Chip!

Captain Chip did everything he could to land a fish. Unfortunately, this didn't happen but I really appreciate his effort and dedication. None of the other boats catch anything. We booked another trip to Cay Caulker with him. Highly recommended.

Great time fishing this weekend with this team. Lots of fishing and some actual catching lol. Our haul made amazing fish and chips for lunch.
we did a half day reef trip with Captain Chip and had a great time. He was very accommodating. We had a group of 11 so we found a 38 foot boat for us. Fishing was a little slow, but we need the most of it. Even me to stop to get stone crabs on the way back.

Our group of 4 had a lovely time out with Captain Chip. Coordinated pick-up close to our hotel and they were on time. The night before we were asked to pay a slightly larger deposit ($100) than anticipated but this was taken from the final bill. On the boat, Captain Chip took us out to an artificial reef where we caught 21 fish in ~2 hours! He and his crewmate were kind and patient teaching us to fish. Also great company, they were fun people to spend time with. Water provided on the boat! When we got back to the pier near our hotel, Captain Chip & his crewmate proceeded to filet ALL TWENTY-ONE FISH for us to take home and recommended a recipe to cook fish tacos which we made and they were excellent. A great day!

Would have been better if they already had gas, cooler, water. Would have bene better if the crew let us fish first before they jumped in to fish in front of us.
My wife and I first used Chip’s services in 2017 on a snorkeling tour in which we had the unforgettable experience of swimming with nurse shark’s. Chip was professional, provided a wealth of information about the marine life in San Pedro and made sure that my wife and had a great experience. Chip’s customer centric philosophy left an impression during an excursion in 2017, there was absolutely no doubt who we would call for a fishing tour upon our return to San Pedro. Chip and his assistant Ahmen’s customer service, preparedness and patients were impeccable. My wife caught her first fish and several following, once again Chip provided us with a memory that won’t be forgotten. We would highly recommend using Chip’s services, you won’t be disappointed and get the authentic San Pedro experience with he and his team.

The weather was windy but the team made the effort to make a trip enjoyable ! They took us on other side of the island and we were able to catch a lot of fish. Highly recommended
