5.00Tyler took us out for a half day fishing. He was so helpful and so much fun! After fishing he cleaned the fish we wanted to keep and we were able to have a local chef cook it for us that night. We will ask for him again when we return.
Amazing experience fly fishing for Bonefish w/Julian's team

5.00My brother and I had an awesome time fly fishing with Kevon for bonefish at the shallows of Saltwater Caye. I lost one at the last minute on the line, and my brother actually landed a bonefish—but it slipped out of his hands before we could get a picture. Still, it was such a fun and unforgettable experience! We went during the off-season, and even though we only gave Julian 24 hours’ notice, he was very accommodating and quick to respond. From the first email through booking, payment, pickup, and drop-off, communication with Julian was seamless. We let him know where we were staying, and he arranged for Kevon to pick us up right at the pier behind our Airbnb. We wrapped up the trip with a quick swim before heading back, and the crystal-clear water around the caye was unreal—bright blue and so clear you could see all the way down to about 35 feet. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great day out on the water!
