Why take chances with your precious time? We've been there. There is no substitute for first-hand experience.

This is what one of our recent customers has to say:
"Thank you for providing me with what was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Turneffe Flats, Belize. Your patience, level of service and support have been first class. I could ask for nothing more and will be calling you in the future for all my fishing travel arrangements.

I have been fishing inshore for over ten years and have taken numerous trips to remote locations around the globe. It is a challenge just getting somewhere, much less all the logistics, planning, transportation, lodging... I have always done it myself, sometimes it has worked out, sometimes it hasn't.

You have taken the guess work out of it. You have been to all the places that you service. You know the owners, guides, flats and little idiosyncrasies that make all the difference. Thank you. I couldn't be happier!

As for the fishing itself... The attached photo speaks for itself. Turneffe Flats is unrivaled. In two days, we caught eight permit with an average weight of over twenty lbs. The bonefish are even more plentiful, with numerous schools of 100plus fish. We caught over a dozen. And then there was the tarpon. I hooked two, each well over 100 lbs. I was outmatched. And so, the grand slam eludes me once again!" K.Keeney- August 2011.
