Two of us went on a deep sea fishing trip with Captain Luis and his help man Mr. Hector. Both of them are very knowledgeable about fishing species and georgrafic facts around San Pedro island. We first were trolling for Bonito and then used those as bait fish to catch big fish. We caught 2 huge barracudas and hooked on at least one Wahoo/Mahimahi by noon. In the afternoon, we caught more barracudas as well as some bottom fish - sanapers, Jacks and pompano. Capital Luis is very accommodating. he provided sandwiches and drinks and showed up on time with all the equipment. At end of the trip,he fileted the fish for us and his Dad even found us a foam cooler from a local stote so we can keep all fish. We have been doing deep sea fishing aound the world. Captain Luis and Mr. Hector are the top notch. If we ever want to be back fishing in Belize, will book woth Hadley fishing tour again for sure.

We booked two trips with Captain Luis and First Mate Hector, and they were the highlight of our time in Belize!! On our deep sea fishing day, we caught a wahoo (the best fish I’ve ever tasted), tons of tuna, and multiple barracuda!! Luis and Hector knew exactly where to take us and kept us on the fish all day!!

The next day, we did a reef fishing, snorkeling, and beach BBQ trip, which was just as amazing. We caught a grouper, which is my favorite fish, along with so many other reef fish. We then snorkeled with nurse sharks, stingrays, and even saw a lemon shark. After that, they took us to a private beach where they made fresh ceviche and grilled fish, crab, lobster, veggies, and potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious!!

Luis and Hector were fun, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Belize, booking with them is a must!!

We had an absolutely incredible day on the water with Luis and Hector. These guys truly know how to fish — constantly adjusting tactics and locations to keep things productive, all while sharing fascinating information about the area. We caught plenty of big barracuda and bonito, and even hooked what was likely a wahoo until a shark claimed it first! You could tell from start to finish that they were giving it everything they had, and we appreciated their effort and energy the whole 10 hours. An unforgettable trip and a fantastic crew — highly recommended.

My two friends and I booked a full day fishing trip and beach BBQ with captain Luis. I felt like I was asking a lot when I requested the chance to catch fish with bait and tackle, do a beach BBQ on the lagoon side of the island and try some spear fishing and snorkeling in a less populated spot than the marine park. But Captain Luis accommodated every request and more. We caught some big barracuda and had an amazing lunch on a beautiful beach with a gang of frigate birds hounding us for leftovers (throwing fish leftovers up in the air and having them swoop down to grab them was a highlight for sure). Then went and snorkeled by the reef and tried our hand at spear fishing. We saw plenty of nurse sharks and rays without the crowds at shark alley and sat in the boat to clean our catch before bringing it back to a local restaurant to be cooked for us. Most importantly captain Luis was extremely knowledgeable, patient and a great teacher. If you’re heading to San Pedro it would be a missed opportunity to not do a day out on the water like this and is a great opportunity to get to know some locals!

If you are in San Pedro Belize, you should book any fishing trip with Luis. We did the deep sea and the reef fishing and had great trips for each. We brought part of our catch from each day and had local restaurants cook our fish, it was the perfect ending to a perfect fishing trip. I have charted boats in Cabo San Lucas, Nassau in the Bahamas, every part of California Pacific Ocean, Alaska, Florida, and even Europe, places like Croatia and Italy, and I never have had as much fun as I did on his guided tours. I can’t wait to back to Belize and do it again. Ultimate respect for this captain.
