It was ah-mazing. We knew from recommendations that Esley was a Caye Caulker treasure and the best at his passion of angling in the gorgeous Belize waters. Esley picked us up at our hotel dock at 8 a.m. sharp, and took us to a mangrove well north of the split where he cast a net and caught our live bait for the day. Esley is patient, knowledgeable, and kind. My son caught his dream fish - two feisty barracuda and 1 mahi-mahi (which Esley cleaned for us at the dock to have our hotel chef for our dinner). But! The best fishing moment of our lives was when we caught a trophy-sized blue marlin. It put up a non-stop fight for its life; breaching the water and then diving deep under the boat. With expert help maneuvering the boat and guidance, and a 2 hour fight, we brought the 250-300lb, 10-foot-long blue marlin to the side of the boat, removed the hook, and released the most magnificent creature we have ever seen. We can’t recommend Esley enough and will definitely be back. Do not hesitate to book this incredible captain and his boat. He is the best in Belize! Thank you, Esley

We had a great trip, picked up at our home for the week. We didn’t know we were doing anything outside of Lobster and he got us into a bunch of barracuda and snapper too (writing this with a very full and happy belly) fantastic and knowledgeable guide

I went out with Esley Usher on a 4 hour reef fishing trip on April 19th and we caught 14 Lane Snapper in 4 different locations near the reef. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was the solo guest. He picked me in his boat at my hotel’s pier.  Esley is a life long Caye Caulker expert and knows these waters!  If you want to CATCH FISH go out with Esley.

Esley was able to pick us up at the dock of our airbnb on time. we went and cast netted some live bait and almost immediately caught some baracuda. we probally caught 8 baracuda in about 1.5 hours. Then we went to snapper fish pulling in 2 lane snapper and one mutton. Then we went diving lobster hotels and ended up with 13 keeper lobster. after this we went searching for conch. we ended up with 4 in about an hour. after this we went to the reserve and snorkled with sharks/stingrays/fish/etc in crystal clear water.
