Your day starts off fishing inside the Belize's expansive barrier reef, recognised as a world-class angling destination. On this trip, your captain will take you to his favourite spot for your chance to catch snapper, grouper, mackerel, jacks, barracuda, and more. The boat is yours and you can customise the trip. Enjoy a day full of fishing either trolling or anchored inside the reef and/or near the flats, to do some drop fishing or spin casting. On this trip you will have the opportunity to stop in at King Lewey's Island Resort for you to purchase Lunch & Drinks. The catch of the day will be cleaned by your guide which you can take to most of the local restaurants for them to cook for you. We employ only the most experienced captains and guides yet fun and most professional.

This was truly the highlight of our time in Placencia! Edlin knows what he’s doing and he was an excellent guide. He was easygoing and fun to be with! We ended up booking a half day snorkeling and fishing tour after the full day fishing tour we did 2 days prior. We were chasing the permit trying to get the grand slam after catching tarpon and bonefish! The coordination and communication was excellent. We would highly recommend this company!

I’m just back from another fishing tour with Edlin Leslie, owner/captain of Placencia Fishing Charters. Over the years, I’ve gone on fishing tours in various places in the Caribbean. As a serious angler, Edlin is my guide for fishing in Placencia, and Placencia is where I go for fishing. I did 5 tours with Edlin including inside reef, outside reef, deep sea and some fly-fishing on the flats. Edlin asks what types of fish I want to go for, I would tell him but defer each day I let him make the decisions. And no regrets - I got some good fighters and always came home with a great catch. Moreover, my wife and I enjoyed the freshest grilled fish each evening. What an experience! Already booked for next year - can’t wait to go back!

We were canceled because of the weather but received an immediate refund, so I gave them 5 stars for integrity and good business practice!

I would recommend against booking this company for flyfishing (and possibly other tours). We set up a full day fly fishing trip with them close to a month in advance of our arrival in Placencia. This was a big part of our trip and we were willing to pay top dollar for the trip. On the morning of the trip we were prepared to be picked up at 7:30 am for our trip and were informed at 7 am that they didn’t think the weather was good enough to go out. Disappointing, but understandable. That day the weather ended up being beautiful (still disappointing but understandable). That night the hotel informed me that the company had a lot of success catching fish with other fly fishing clients today and that they’d like to take me the next day (whoops, they shouldn’t have told me that). So, they obviously overbooked trips and blamed it on the weather. If you are looking for reliable fly fishing guides, look elsewhere.

Edlin is the guide for serious fishermen. I've gone fishing with various guides for many years who promise this and that. Edlin is the real deal. I went out on 3 tours with him. He knows how to find fish on the reef like finding needles in the haystack. We caught all kinds - snappers, groupers, mackerel and barracudas. He also knows when to call it when the tides goes out. He shares the passion for fishing and knows what it means to have a great day fishing. I booked him again for next few years. Book him if you love fishing too. You will not be disappointed.
