PRIVATE FISHING & SNORKELING IN PLACENCIA BELIZE

Deep Sea Fishing - Reef Fishing - Snorkeling - Island Hopping - Private boat charters

Belize’s Leading Sport Fishing Charters

Based in Placencia, Belize, we run private fishing and boat charters on the Barrier Reef and offshore. Our captains grew up on these waters and know how to shape the day- whether you’re chasing billfish, snorkeling the reef, or hopping between islands. Go after wahoo, mahi, tuna, and grouper on fast, shaded center consoles rigged with premium tackle.

Expect five-star service from pickup to filleting, and a relaxed boat charter where the experience matters as much as the catch.

Fishing and Boating Adventures in Belize

Discover belize's fishing

Fishing in Belize is an angler’s dream. The Belize Barrier Reef, the world’s second largest, runs more than 190 miles along the coast and puts reef and deep-sea action right on your doorstep in Placencia. Whether you are new to saltwater or chasing offshore trophies, these waters hold bonefish, permit, tarpon, snapper, grouper, wahoo, mahi mahi and seasonal billfish. 

Belize is also a paradise for snorkeling and island hopping. With more than 450 cayes in warm Caribbean water, you can pair your charter with vibrant coral gardens, turtle and ray sightings, and sandy beach stops. Many islands have relaxed resorts and beach bars, so your day can mix snorkeling, island time and a cold drink before the ride back to Placencia.
