Belize Bareboat Charters

Home to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest in the world, Belize offers fabulous calm-water sailing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, bird and wildlife watching, Mayan ruins and more. With approximately 40 charter yachts in the whole country and over 175 cayes to explore, Belize is still truly an unspoiled getaway. With two bases, one in the north in San Pedro and one in the south in Placencia, we are able to offer a wide choice of itineraries.

San Pedro
A great place to begin or end a charter, San Pedro is the most developed island in Belize, with many choices for provisioning and dining.

Caye Caulker
This laid back village is a great stop for a fun night out. Heading south it is the last chance to provision

Caye Chapel
Catering to the rich and famous, this privately owned island has a fine marina, clubhouse and 18-hole golf course.

St. George's Caye
The island where the British loggers heroically fought off the last Spanish Armada, today is a cottage colony to the wealthy Belize City business-men. If you are looking for dinner out, Pleasure Island Resort offers Belizean cuisine “island style”.

Goff's Caye
Marking the north side of the reef at English Channel, this tiny island offers a beautiful beach, plenty of coconut trees to hang a hammock and snorkeling behind the reef.

English Caye
Just south of English Channel this island hosts a lighthouse, its keeper and his family. Anchor to the south for some excellent snorkeling on a huge patch of coral.

Rendezvous Caye
Right on the barrier reef, surrounded by coral, with an abundance of fish and a beautiful white sand beach this is the perfect desert island. Not an overnight anchorage, but a fantastic day stop.

Bluefield Range

Providing a safe ‘lagoon-style” anchorage, with two fish camps, there is almost always a choice of fresh seafood for dinner.

Colson Cayes
Another safe anchorage with several fish camps, the Colson Cayes offer a shallow lagoon to explore by dinghy, with plenty of coral nearby for snorkeling.

Tobacco Caye
A laid-back overnight anchorage with several choices for basic meals and a few bars on the island. There’s a dive shop and plenty of good snorkeling.

South Water Caye
This is as far south as most people go in a week from San Pedro and as far north as most travel from Placencia in a week. It is host to three resorts so dining out is possible. Here you can sometimes top up your water tanks.

Laughing Bird Caye
A marine reserve with some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving you’ll find inside the barrier reef.Buttonwood & Little Water Caye
Both cayes offer a fine lee shore for anchoring in any wind.

Queen Cayes
Located quite close to the reef, these three tiny coral islands offer great snorkeling all around.
Ranguana & Tom Owens Caye
Both right on the reef, these islands offer good anchorages for a few boats per night and more superb snorkeling.
The best “all-weather” anchorage is at Nicholas Caye. From here you can explore Hunting and Lime Cayes to the south and Franks and Northeast Sapodilla just a short dinghy ride to the north. There is ample coral all around and a restaurant on Franks Caye.

The Rio Dulce of Guatemala

Just 25 short miles south of the Sapodilla Cayes lies the port of Livingston where you’re required to check in and out of Guatemala. As you enter the river, the natural beauty begins with 800-foot cliffs on either side of this tropical rain-forest canopy. You’ll see the Maya paddling their dugout dories fishing along the river as they have for thousands of years.

A local restaurant provides a great stop along the way where they’ll pull your choice of fresh fish out of the live trap at the dock. Or take a bath across the river at the natural hot spring. Once through the ‘Golfette’ or mini lake you’ll re-enter the river as you approach Fronteras. This is where you will begin seeing the marinas along the coast as well as the cottages for the wealthy Guatemalans. Here you are likely to see a 50-foot Hatteras with twin jet skis as well as poor Mayas in their dugouts. There are plenty of choices for dinners out and convenient provisioning.The main attraction in Lake Izabel (Guatemala’s largest lake) is a farm on the north shore that offers a restaurant and a hike to another hot-spring waterfall spilling into a cool river of crystal-clear water.
