Join Ocean Breeze Beach Resort for an unforgettable fishing adventure off the coast of Placencia. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-time fisherman, our reef fishing charters deliver action-packed fun in one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems.
Fish for snapper, grouper, jack, and barracuda — and experience the thrill of casting your line along the stunning Belize Barrier Reef.
Inner & Outer Reef Fishing in Placencia
Placencia is Belize’s top destination for reef fishing — calm seas, warm waters, and endless adventure. Your day begins at our private dock, where our expert local captains take you across turquoise waters to the inner or outer reef, depending on conditions and your preferences.
You’ll fish around coral heads, drop-offs, and reef channels teeming with tropical species. Afterward, relax on deck or snorkel while your guide prepares a fresh beachside BBQ with your catch of the day.
When to Go Reef Fishing in Placencia
Reef fishing is great year-round in Belize. The calmest conditions and best visibility are between March and October, though fish are abundant throughout the year.
Trips depart daily from Ocean Breeze Beach Resort, with both half-day (4 hours) and full-day (8 hours) charters available.
