There’s something magical about standing on the crystal-clear flats of Belize, rod in hand, as the tropical breeze carries the promise of your next big catch. I’m Abner “Abbie” Marin, and together with my wife Marisela, we’ve dedicated the last 21 years to sharing our slice of paradise with anglers from around the world. When I founded GoFish Belize in 1996, I had a simple dream: to create fishing experiences that would leave lasting memories. After marrying Marisela in 2003, we joined forces and transformed GoFish Belize into San Pedro’s premier flats fishing adventure. We’ve expanded our offerings to include reef fishing, deep sea excursions, and even snorkeling trips, ensuring everyone in your family can enjoy their time on the water, regardless of their experience level.
These aren’t just fishing trips – they’re adventures waiting to unfold. Picture yourself casting on pristine flats just minutes from shore, where permit tail in gin-clear water, or tracking a school of bonefish across white sandy bottoms. Our Belizean waters hold some of fishing’s most prized catches: permit, bonefish, and tarpon. For the ambitious angler, there’s even the chance to achieve the coveted Grand Slam – landing all three species in a single day. Whether you’re new to fishing or have been casting for decades, our experienced guides (who I personally work alongside) know exactly how to make your day on the water successful. We provide top-quality gear and share the techniques we’ve refined over decades of fishing these waters, while our intimate knowledge of local tides, seasons, and fish behavior ensures you’re in the right place at the right time.
While I’m out on the flats guiding, Marisela keeps everything running smoothly back on shore, a skill she mastered while raising our kids (who are all adults now – WOOHOO!). Along with our crew of three cats and one very opinionated Chihuahua who thinks they’re the real boss of the operation, we’ve built more than just a business – we’ve created an extended family of passionate fishing guides who share our commitment to exceptional service and authentic Belizean hospitality. Let us help you plan the perfect fishing adventure, whether you’re chasing your first bonefish or hunting for that elusive permit. Contact us today to start planning your next unforgettable fishing adventure in our home waters, and let us show you why we believe Belize offers some of the finest fishing in the world. Contact Us!
