Beyond the Barrier Reef
Experience the Thrill of Outer Reef Fishing
Set out from Placencia and venture beyond the Belize Barrier Reef for an exciting fishing adventure in the deeper waters of the Caribbean Sea.
With experienced local guides who understand the waters, conditions, and fishing grounds of Southern Belize, you’ll have the opportunity to target a variety of species while experiencing the thrill and unpredictability of fishing offshore.
Surrounded by spectacular Caribbean scenery, this charter combines adventure, local knowledge, and time on the open water for an unforgettable Belize fishing experience. Whether you’re an experienced angler or looking for a new challenge, Southern Belize Explorers will help you make the most of your day beyond the reef.
We did two separate half day trips during our visit. Reef fishing with the kids one day and deep sea fishing adults only on another trip. We had a great time on each trip.

Outer Reef Fishing FAQs
Get ready for your day on the open water with helpful answers about fishing experience, potential catches, sea conditions, and what to bring.
Do I need fishing experience to join the charter?
No. Outer reef fishing can be enjoyed by both experienced anglers and first-timers. Your guides can assist with equipment, techniques, and local fishing knowledge throughout the trip. Placencia operators commonly offer guided offshore experiences suitable for different skill levels.
What types of fish might we catch?
The species encountered vary with the season, location, and conditions, but offshore waters around Placencia can offer opportunities for species such as wahoo, mahi-mahi, tuna, and occasionally billfish, while reef areas are known for snapper, grouper, barracuda, and other species. As with any fishing trip, catches are never guaranteed.
What should I bring on the fishing charter?
Fishing gear, food, drinks, and snorkeling equipment are included with Southern Belize Explorers, so guests can keep personal packing fairly simple. Bring sun protection such as a hat, polarized sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen, along with comfortable clothing, a towel, and a camera. A light rain jacket and a change of dry clothes can also be useful.
What happens if the sea is too rough for outer reef fishing?
Outer reef fishing takes you into more exposed Caribbean waters - therefore, trips beyond the reef depend on favorable weather and sea conditions. If conditions are unsuitable, your captain may need to adjust the day's plans for the safety and comfort of everyone onboard.
