Due to all the shuttle boats, our guide will meet you within easy walking distance of the Tourism Village in Belize City. To ensure maximum fishing time, approximately 7.5 hours, please request the first shuttle boat off the cruiseship and the last shuttle boat back.
For ladies, please note that our fishing skiffs are open panga style, with no restroom on board. Options are shore leave (roughing it in the jungle), a quick dip in the sea, as well as the "bucket".
