    Amazing captain and mate

    Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis • 2 adults

    We had several challenges with wind, storms, overcast, etc.. today and with captain nato and Victor's knowledge of these waters they were still able to get us on the fish including the tarpon. We caught several LARGE snapper, huge barracuda, had opportunities at bonefish and most importantly boated tarpon. Tarpon was my main goal of this trip and these two did EVERYTHING to get me on one. Their passion for these waters and sport is like something I've never seen before, can recommend enough!

    Excellent guide

    Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis • 1 adult

    Captain Nato was one of the hardest-working and most professional fishing guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. From start to finish, he put in a full day of effort and expertise, consistently putting me on fish—from bonefish to tarpon to permit. His years of experience really show, and his knowledge of the water is exceptional. What stood out even more was his passion—it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy made the entire experience even better. Thank you, Captain Nato, for an unforgettable day on the water. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier fishing guide!

    Professional Flats Guide

    Half day trip fly fishing or spinfi • 1 adult

    Went out with Capt Nato and his son for 1/2 day of flats fishing. My saltwater fly casting technique was a little rusty but Capt Nato was a great instructor and I soon had my ‘double haul’ working again. Great fly rods, reels, and flies along with an asortment of spinning gear. Boat was well organized and comfortable. Although the weather did not cooperate with rain and wind most of the morning, the Capt found and put us on several schools of bonefish based on his extensive knowledge of the waters surrounding Ambergris Caye. I will definitely go out with him again when back in Belize. If you are looking for a professional flats fishing guide who will coach you to make you better, Capt Nato is your guy.

What's biting with Captain Nato in San Pedro

Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit are getting more feisty and large. Jack Crevalle are coming to the flats, as well as schools of Snook. Reef fishing is fairly good as well.
