If you’re already staying in Placencia and want a day on the water, we’d start with a private charter from the mainland. If you want to spend a few nights by the reef and build the stay around fishing, we’d look at Tobacco Caye. Tell us what you want to catch either way. The fish you’re after helps us plan where to fish. How you want to spend the rest of the trip helps you choose where to stay.
Placencia for a day of fishing from the mainland
From Placencia, we fish flats, bays and mangrove edges in southern Belize. We choose where to start based on your experience, what you want to target and what the tide, wind and light are doing. If you’ve never sight-fished, tell us you’d like to learn how to spot fish and make the cast. If you’ve come specifically for permit, tell us you’re willing to spend time looking for the right shot.

A half day runs 4–5 hours and a full day runs 8 hours. Both are private trips for up to two anglers. If your group has other plans that afternoon, tell us when you need to be back before choosing a half day. We set half-day departure times around the tides. A full day gives us more room to change spots or fish through a change in tide. Compare half-day and full-day Placencia trips
Tobacco Caye for a stay built around the water
Tobacco Caye is a small island off Dangriga within the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, which includes part of the Belize Barrier Reef. You arrive by boat and stay on the caye. You might settle in on arrival day, fish with your guide for the next day or two, then leave time for the boat transfer back to the mainland. Fishing plans still depend on the conditions and where fishing is allowed in the reserve. Belize Fisheries Department marine reserve guide
We can plan private guided fishing for one or two anglers over multiple days. Before booking, ask us to confirm the available lodging, which meals and boat transfers are included, and the total price for your dates. If someone is coming along and plans to spend more time on the island than on the boat, tell us that too. Tobacco Caye fly fishing packages
Choose by the days you have
Already booked a room in Placencia with one open day? Start with the charter and tell us how much time you have. Still choosing where to stay and want two guided fishing days with evenings on a small island? Ask for a Tobacco Caye quote. If either could work, send us your travel dates, how many people will fish and what you most want to target. We’ll help you see how each option fits your itinerary. Ask us about your trip
