Joey Carillo

Member since April 2025 San Pedro, Belize
Background
I began my journey on the water as a boat captain, spending countless days navigating the beautiful seas and learning every detail about the ocean, the reefs, and the incredible marine life that calls it home. My passion for the sea and for sharing it with others inspired me to take the next step — earning my tour guide license. With that, I gained not just the knowledge of the marine world, but also the skills to educate and create memorable experiences for guests from all over the world. For several years, I worked with an established company, gaining valuable experience, refining my craft, and learning what it takes to deliver safe, fun, and unforgettable adventures. Those years gave me the foundation and confidence to take the leap and build something of my own. Today, I'm proud to run my own company, where I can combine my love for the sea with my passion for creating unique, personalized experiences. Every tour is more than just a trip on the water — it's a chance to share the beauty of our ocean, the excitement of adventure, and the joy of making lasting memories.
Techniques
trolling, bottom fishing and spear fishing
