7 and 10 Days itinerary in Belize |
A laid back fishing village with many choices for less expensive dining. It's a great stop for a fun night out and is home to several dive shops. Heading south, it offers a last chance to provision. Caye Chapel This privately owned island has a fine marina and clubhouse with a pool and caters to the rich & famous. An ideal location if you want to golf on vacation. St. George's Caye Historically known for the last war of independence when the 'Baymen' (the British loggers) heroically fought off the last Spanish Armada. Today it is a cottage colony to wealthy Belize City businessmen. The east side provides a great anchorage behind the sand flats. Dining out is still possible at the only public restaurant, surprisingly called 'Cottage Colony'. Goff's Caye Goff's is a tiny island on the reef just north of our main shipping channel, English Channel. Boasting good snorkeling and a beautiful beach, this tiny caye is made picture perfect by its 15 coconut trees. English Caye A lighthouse marks the south side of English Channel, where this island offers superb snorkeling 1000 feet south on a huge coral patch. Rendezvous Caye This is a jewel of an island also located right on the reef. Rendezvous Caye is similar to Goff's Caye, although it is prettier and less visited. Another beautiful beach with excellent snorkeling all around, this is also a good location for scuba diving on the 60 foot outside wall. Not a safe overnight anchorage, however, with it's coral all around. This is a 'must see' day stop. Bluefield Range Providing a safe 'lagoon style' anchorage, the two fish camps usually offer a choice of fresh seafood for tonight's dinner.

Placencia Base Newly opened in 2003 this is
the perfect base to begin or end your charter. It allows us to offer one way charters so
that you can spend more time on the reef visiting different cayes. It also opens up the
chance to go inland and explore some of the hidden treasures of Belize. The Rio Dulce of Guatemala
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 native Mayas in their dugouts. There are plenty of choices for dinners out and convenient provisioning. The main attraction in Lake Izabal (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.
Well known for their superb diving on the crystal clear drop-off walls of coral,the Bay Islands offer much more than just superior diving. The friendly locals' English dialect is a pleasure to hear as they share stories of their colorful pirate ancestors, a heritage which they're quite proud of! Roatan is a long & narrow mountainous island with a paved road from one end to the other. But why drive when you can sail the lee shore? There are plenty of anchorages along the way. You will also appreciate the locals' laid back approach to life without stress. Guanaja, Cayos Cochinos & Utila are all worth a visit, so plan at least 10 days for this trip. |
