Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a spectacular day with Captain Mike. He put us on fish instantly and had everyone in the boat catching fish.
He then took us to a private island where he prepared the fresh catch. It was top top notch and delicious!
On the way to snorkeling he spotted a hammerhead shark for us to see.
Captain Mike took us to the reserve for snorkeling and led us around, pointing out all the beautiful sea life.
This day tour was the top activity of our week.
Thank you Mike!

Rochelle and Mario were excellent. We caught multiple fish over a couple hours. They then prepared the fish for us. The fish was divine, as well as the location of our meal…. A beautiful private beach. Loved the entire experience. Thank you both so much.

Upon staying at Tuto, the owner had recommended Capt Mike for a private full day (8am-4:00pm) boating excursion. It was a surprise for my boyfriend. Capt Mike’s knowledge of the Belizean waters was most respected- we were in awe of their history, watching father and daughter navigate together while finding our bait(sardines/needle fish) then fishing with them and catching snapper etc from their boat, taking us to a private beach to cook the fresh fish accompanied by several sides prepared by them and beverages. The fresh meal was incredible. I was mesmerized by what they did. We finished the day snorkeling at the reef. Rachelle pointed out interesting fish etc and is super knowledgeable about everything under the water. Swam with the hugest stingrays I had ever seen and nurse sharks too. It was very engaging, fun, relaxing and well planned. You will experience their culture and love for their lifestyle and island. Boat was clean, they were punctual and we were so honored to spend the day with them. If you are looking for an experience that you will never forget- book with Belize Fishing Charters- Capt Mike!!!!! This was beyond my expectations- not a random tour. They truly wished to make sure our day was incredible.

I have been traveling to Belize for years to dive but hadn't done any fishing until Capt. Mike was recommended by a friend. My girlfriend and I did a half day charter to spearfish for lobster and couldn't have enjoyed it more!

Prompt for pickup at the dock in front of our AirBnB. Great boat with everything we needed for the day. They showed us how to use the spears and we were immediately catching lobsters, crab and they even used a speargun to catch some hogfish.

Crew was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and great to talk to and learn more about the local spots on the island to hang out, eat, and have our haul cooked for us later that day.

Heard later on from some locals that Capt. Mike had just won a fishing tournament, so confident he knows what he is doing in all aspects of fishing.

100% recommend and will be going back next time we are in Belize.

Mike and his crew absolutely know where to go for a great fishing experience! We booked the trip in advance for myself and my 12-year-old daughter. I was concerned that she would get bored, but the estimate of fish caught was between 70 and 80 line/mangrove snappers in the span of a few hours. Now granted, these were not trophy fish, but we had so much fun fishing on the man-made reefs. I had a great time, but my daughter had a blast (and was off her phone the entire time), which was what I was hoping for. Even catching sardines was a cool experience! At the end, Mike filleted the fish and we ate them later in the day at the resort restaurant. I highly recommend Belize Fishing Charters and will use them again on future trips to Belize.

We had a great day out on the water with captain Mike! He knew of all the best spots to go snorkeling and showed us all kinds of sea creatures! Plus, he had a cooler full of refreshments and really cool and positive vibes all around. We did a couple of other boat tours while in Belize but captains Mike’s was by far the best!

We don’t normally leave reviews, but couldn’t pass this opportunity up to share. My husband and I spent Saturday with Capt Mike and some new friends, we are all so glad we decided to book this adventure. He took us to 2 different locations for snapper (as well as other kinds that I can’t remember). We caught many fish, mostly snapper (a lot of mangrove, very tasty). While boating out to both locations, he told us all about the different ocean life creatures we may see during this trip. After we’d caught our lunch and the bite slowed a bit, he took us to a beautiful, quiet beach where he filleted and cooked our catch. This meal was hands down better than the restaurants we ate at while in Belize. Once full, Mike quickly cleaned up and took us to a different part of this beautiful reef for snorkeling. He was in the water with us the whole time, pointing out the many different kinds of fish we were seeing, the different types of coral, etc. We all had so much fun and he made sure that everyone was able to experience these wonderful things! If you are able to, highly recommend this trip! Mike was so laid back and easy-going. He taught us so much about the reef, some Belizean history, etc, we will def be going out again when we come back!

My husband and I booked a last minute boat day through our hotel without any idea of what to expect. My husband loves to dive, snorkel and fish. I was excited to see wildlife and a beautiful beach.

Mikes day trip was the highlight of our whole vacation. We snorkeled and saw beautiful turtles, SO many fish, sharks etc. once we’d fished, we went over to an island (which looks like a movie set with how immaculate and gorgeous it is!) to eat freshly cooked fish curry. We got to see so much more than what you can experience on land and we are so grateful for Mike giving us a perfect day and experience.

We have traveled all over the Caribbean and Mexico, and have never found a better guide than Mike. He was on time, knew the area and was very personable. I’m pretty sure he might be the only captain in the Caribbean, who knows the name of every fish in the ocean. If you’re coming to Belize and want to snorkel or fish, this is the place you’d want to use.
