Hi, I am Captain Roland Alford I grew up in the Sarstoon area; which is the river that divides Belize and Guatemala, however, I am a born Belizean. From a very young age, I was introduced to fishing by my father who taught me to be optimistic, hardworking, and humble at the same time. This was 30 years ago. My father was a fisherman and a hunter and that's what I inherited from him. While growing up I got convinced that sports fishing was what I wanted to do for a living. I have worked with the Belize Fisheries Department and marine NGO'S which gave me the opportunity to learn the Belize Fishing Laws. However, the pace was too slow for me — I wanted to feel on top of the life. Thus, I was inspired by something more fun. I decided to venture into deep sea sports fishing and go for the big game fish such as the Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi — Also, bottom fishing for species such as Groupers, Queen Snappers, Champagne Snappers, Amber Jacks, and more. I have about 15 years in the tourism industry. I worked with several companies over the recent years, however, a year ago I decided to pursue my own business — something that I can manage and grow. Along with my girlfriend, Nancy Aguilar, who has helped me with this dream to come true — I also introduce her to fishing. Nancy is very efficient in areas in which I need help. Our main objective is to make you, our guests, have the best fishing experience in our jewel country of Belize.

We “Snapped” them up!
8 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on July 28, 2026 • 6 adults
They call it fishing not catching… we started trolling for big game fish. We were not successful there, so the Capt. opted to do deep drops (700-1000ft). It did not disappoint. We caught a bunch of snapper… They were delicious! The Capt. and first mate were incredibly responsive, and we’re willing to teach us about how to use the electronic reels as none of us had ever used them before. The boat was fairly comfortable, even though the seas were rough. I would 100% do it again!

What a great day of fishing with a father and son captain and crew. Even with poor weather conditions they worked hard and made it an amazing experience for us. Even caught more than we had expected.

We had an absolute blast fishing with Roland and Anderson! We can’t wait to come back and do it again! Do not hesitate to book with them, you won’t regret it!
