About
Make the most of your stop in Belize with a private flats fishing charter designed exclusively for cruise ship guests. We'll meet you at the Belize City cruise terminal and take you to the renowned flats, lagoons, rivers, and mangrove systems surrounding Belize City, St. George's Caye, Hicks Cayes, and the Belize District. Every trip is planned around the tides, weather, and seasonal fish movements to maximize your time on the water while ensuring a timely return to your ship.
Target Belize's famous "Big Four"; permit, bonefish, tarpon, and snook, along with barracuda, cobia, jack crevalle, triggerfish, and more. Whether you're fishing with a fly rod or light tackle, every charter is tailored to your experience, fishing style, and personal goals.
This trip is perfect for beginners, experienced anglers, and families alike. Capt. Will provides patient instruction and professional guidance, whether you're learning to cast or chasing the coveted Grand Slam.
Fish from a custom 23' IMEMSA panga, purpose-built for Belize's shallow flats. Its quiet, stable ride and ultra-shallow 6-inch draft allow us to pole across the skinniest water where larger boats can't reach, creating exceptional sight-fishing opportunities.
We provide premium-quality fly and light tackle equipment at no extra cost, though you're welcome to bring your own gear if preferred. Your charter includes fishing licenses, lunch, drinks, light snacks, and transportation to and from the cruise terminal.
What makes this trip unique is the opportunity to escape the crowds and experience Belize with a private guide. Every charter is customized to the day's conditions, giving you the best opportunity to sight fish Belize's incredible flats while enjoying a seamless, worry-free return to your ship before departure.
As passionate conservationists, we proudly practice 100% catch and release for all flats species, helping preserve Belize's world-class fishery for future generations.

Meet Capt. Will Robins
Originally from England, Capt. Will Robins has spent his life on the water and is proud to call Belize home. He began guiding at just 17 years old on his local trout and grayling rivers before progressing to the international fly fishing stage, representing Team England on three occasions. During his competitive career, Will helped secure a Team Gold Medal and later captained the England squad.
Over the years, Will has fished and hosted trips in some of the world's premier destinations, including the United Kingdom, United States, Slovenia, France, Spain, Uganda, Morocco, Mexico, and Belize, developing extensive experience across both freshwater and saltwater fisheries.
In 2018, Will's passion for saltwater flats fishing brought him to Belize, where he managed operations and trained local guides at one of Ambergris Caye's premier fly fishing lodges. During the pandemic, he relocated to Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, where he founded a successful guiding business and logged more than 500 guided days on the water, helping anglers pursue world-class permit, bonefish, and tarpon.
Now back in Belize, Capt. Will has founded Fly Fish Belize Charters, combining years of international fly fishing experience with a patient, relaxed, and highly personalized approach to guiding. Whether you're making your very first fly cast or pursuing the coveted Grand Slam, every trip is tailored to your goals, experience, and the day's conditions.
