  great trip even though no tarpon!

  Special 6 hour trip for Ashley Leopold on March 29, 2026 • 1 adult

  The captian gave me a good deal, pricewise! my main goal was to catch a tarpon, but unfortunately, we were not successful. We ended up finding a rolling group of them, but couldn’t successfully hook on. The captain searched really hard to find more, but we were not successful. We stayed an hour past the allotted time and I had to call it quits. You could tell he really wanted me to get that tarpon. Besides that I did catch three barracuda, two bonefish and a Jack. I appreciated the captains passion for fishing and commitment to getting me the catch. I never really saw him on his phone. It seemed like he was always looking at the water trying to find signs of fish. I appreciate that because you don’t see that a lot nowadays.

  FISH WITH CAPTAIN TAYO!! HE WAS THE BEST

  Flats fishing/snorkeling on February 25, 2026 • 2 adults

  Our experience fishing in Belize with Captain Tayo and his crew was absolutely outstanding. During our visit, we spent three full days on the water with them, and every day was memorable. From the moment we started, the service was seamless—Captain Tayo conveniently picked us up directly from our hotel dock, which made everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout our trip, we had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities. We went offshore fishing and caught snapper, targeted tarpon, and even spent time conch diving and lobster diving. Captain Tayo and his crew are incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and made sure we were always in the best spots to catch fish and enjoy the experience. One of the highlights of the trip was feeding the tarpon—something we had mentioned wanting to do. Captain Tayo made it happen and ensured we got to experience it up close. It was an unforgettable moment for our whole group. What made the trip even more special was how accommodating the crew was with our family. We had two kids with us, and they had an absolute blast. The crew was patient, friendly, and made sure the kids felt involved and safe while still keeping the adventure exciting. If you’re visiting Belize and looking for a fishing charter that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Captain Tayo and his team. Their professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality made our trip one we’ll never forget. We truly got to experience the best of Belize’s fishing, diving, and marine life all in one adventure.

  Great experience on the flats.

  Half day on the flats! on April 11, 2026 • 1 adult

  I had an incredible experience out on the water with Captain Tayo. His expertise is undeniable; not only did he help me land my first barracuda and bonefish, but he also put me on the ultimate prize—a permit. Beyond the catches, I walked away with a wealth of knowledge about flats fishing and a newfound respect for the skill required to complete a Belizean trifecta. It was a truly humbling and rewarding day.

  Wonderful Time on the Water

  7 Hour Trip – Flats on March 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  I did the full day flats fly fishing and couldn’t have had a better time. he showed up right on time and brought lunch and drinks. Even though the weather wasnt perfect our captain put us in spots with lots of opportunities to hook up on fish. We we ended up seeing every target species of water and got to cast lots of flys at them. Got hooked up multiple times and ended up landing a beautiful tarpon and a couple other fun fish . Our captain was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience I would definitely recommend.
