Guided fishing trip costs vary based upon the type of fishing and the duration of the trip. Services range from all inclusive, multi-night fishing packages to guided fishing from shore. As an added bonus for many travelers, fishing guides in Belize generally speak fluent English.
Lagoons and grass flats--also known as tidal flats--teem with bonefish, barracuda, tarpon and permit. Some guide services such as El Pescador offer the opportunity for anglers to fish aboard a skiff with a local guide or rent their own private boat. For the angler that wants a complete experience, Belize River Lodge operates a 52-foot boarding vessel from which anglers depart on smaller skiffs.
Deep sea fishing in Belize offers the chance to catch the biggest game fish of all. Fish species include marlin, tuna, sailfish, bonito and pompano. Many deep sea charters depart from Ambergris Caye and head toward locations five to 15 miles offshore. Expect to pay between $100 and $200 dollars for a full day deep sea fishing trip, as of 2010.
