Fishing Belize
Fishing in Belize has something to offer even the pickiest of sportfishermen and women. Stalk a Grand Slam on the saltwater flats with your fly rod, or hire one of our great Belize fishing charters and troll offshore for billfish and tuna. And luxury vacation spots don’t get much better either. The world-famous flats fishing in Belize has drawn anglers from the far reaches of the world.
The bad thing about this fishing paradise is that once you get there, you don’t want to leave. Belize has relatively undeveloped shorelines that are a dream for inshore and flats fishing—Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit swarm the river mouths, creeks, bays, and estuaries.

Belize Barrier Reef
This beautiful, thriving ecosystem is one of the most diverse examples of living coral in the world, and is even on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The reef is the perfect habitat for Black grouper, barracuda, snappers, and wahoo. In the deeper water, just beyond the offshore edge of the reef, the deep waters teem with marlin, mahi mahi, and tuna.
