I have been on many, many offshore trolling missions around the world.  I chose the Carlie because it’s a 34 footer to better handle rough waves on a windy day, and due to the generous amount of shade it provides inside for my fair-skinned family. Captain Hilly Boo worked hard to rig up a nice spread of 6 lines, with a variety of lures and different sized ballyhoo. Captain constantly checked the lines to shake off sargassum and changed up the spread, hustling to get us as many bites as possible. We landed a large barracuda, a bonito, and a Bar Jack, but we should have landed many more; just a rough fishing day, but a great day with a great guide.

We went out for a full day trip of deep sea fishing and had a great time. The weather was beautiful and the water was very calm which matched up perfectly with the saying “Great day for fishing, just not a great day for catching fish!” This saying turned out to be most of the day for us, but after several beers and some good conversations with the crew we eventually caught a couple of Barracudas that each put up a good fight. Captain “Fish” and his crew of Jorge and Mario were fantastic and remained positive as they never gave up and worked together to find and locate the fish for us. After we caught the fish they anchored on the reef and cooked us a delicious and filling lunch with our catch. They cleaned and cut the catch into filets for us to take with us back to our condo to cook for the remainder of our vacation. The boat was amazing because it provided enough shade to keep cool from the sun and it had a private bathroom on board, which was a must have for my female partner and she approved with two thumbs up 👍👍 I would recommend anyone to use this Captain, crew, and his boat the next time you are in San Pedro looking to fish!!

Our group has never gone fishing before and the crew took care of everything! Their rum punch was delicious and all the crew was fun to chat with about learning about the fish, culture, the island, etc. We caught some fish and they cut it up for us sashimi style then recommended a restaurant to cook the rest of it for us. When we come back next time, we’d definitely go for another experience :)

Captain Byron, George and Fish are professional, experienced and fun. They took very good care of our group of 5 adults and we caught plenty of fish. Funny enough, we were on the same boat with the same captain the last time we were in Belize in 2016 (and also caught a lot of fish that time). We HIGHLY recommend Captain Byron and his crew and boat.

I was looking for a half day deep-sea fishing experience for my family of four. Our boat was perfect! It was very clean. Had lots of room to sit in a shaded area and even had a working bathroom. We were provided fresh fruit and rum punch along with Beverages for the children. During our four hour trip we only caught two fish one small barracuda, and one medium size mahi. The mahi was great! “Fish”
Who was the boat, captain cleaned and prepared the fish for us to take on ice. They recommended some restaurants for us to take the fish for the restaurant to prepare and serve us. This trip was an amazing experience for my family and couldn’t beat the price!
