GENERAL INFORMATION
For those who are visiting Belize City for a short period of time – be it a cruise ship stopover or an added day on either end of a fishing trip to another destination in Belize – we offer a fantastic day-trip option that will allow you to enjoy the area’s great fishing in a relatively short period of time. Great possibilities for bonefish, permit, ,tarpon and more.

LENGTH OF STAY
Standard fishing day is 8 hours long, although this can easily be adjusted based on your schedule and other factors, such as the arrival and departure time of a cruise ship.

THE FISHING
Even with only a single day of fishing, you will still have numerous fishing options available. Depending on weather conditions and the time of year, you can fish for bones along the many tidal flats and mangroves, chase permit on deeper flats, or even fish the barrier reef for larger species. Perhaps the most popular in this part of Belize, however, is the sight-fishing for tarpon. Resident schools of tarpon (20 to 80 pounds) roam the broad flats of the area and can be enticed to take a fly any time of the year. Unlike many “day trip” fishing options offered through cruise ship companies or larger tour groups, this fishing program is very legitimate. You will fish wither one or two-to-a-boat, with great equipment, a boat set up for fly and light tackle fishing, and a great guide. If the weather is good and the conditions are right, most people choose to fish the cayes, flats and shallow waters located directly off the coast of Belize. This is where the largest concentrations of bonefish, tarpon and permit can be found throughout the year. If the weather is poor, and conditions are cold, windy and rainy, you can still fish in the sanctuary of the mainland rivers – home to tarpon, snook, and numerous other species.

BOATS AND EQUIPMENT OFFERED
Guides fish from 23-foot Mexican super-pangas. The lodge also provides quality gear and equipment for your day trip, including rods and reels, leaders and tippet, and all necessary flies, lures and other items.

MEETING YOUR GUIDE
If you are arriving by cruise ship into Belize City, you will dock at the main cruise ship dock located at the Belize City Tourist Village (by the Baron Bliss Lighthouse.)  During the times that the cruise ships are in port, this is a very busy and crowded place. For that reason, your guide will be waiting for you upon arrival at the Radisson dock, located very close to the Tourist Village. You can either take a quick cab ride to the Radisson dock, or you can walk the short distance (Approximately a 5 minute walk.) When the cruise ships are in, this area is full of people, meaning that the walk is both easy and safe.

Your guide will be waiting at the Radisson dock in a 23-foot boat (panga) loaded and ready to go! He will have all of your fishing gear ready, along with a packed cooler with lunch and cold beverages. The guide is usually at the Radisson dock by 8:00 AM. Some ships can get passengers ashore at 7:00 AM, in which case the guide will be at the Radisson dock by 7:30 AM. The return time is usually somewhere between 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. We always ask anglers to confirm the exact time they need to be back at the ship before they depart the cruise ship in Belize City. 

Be sure that prior to your trip you have provided us with the following information:

1. The complete name(s) of who will be fishing
2. The full name of cruise ship and the cruise line.
3. Scheduled arrival time into Belize City
4. Scheduled departure time from Belize City
5. Notification of any medical or dietary issues or requests.

It is important to note that your guide in Belize City will always use Belize time. Some cruise ships are on Central time and others are on EST, so this needs to be clarified before you leave the ship as the time changes throughout the year.
