Home to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest in the world, Belize offers fabulous calm-water sailing, diving, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking, bird and wildlife watching, Mayan ruins and more. With approximately 40 charter yachts in the whole country and over 175 Cayes (pronounced 'keys') to explore, Belize is still truly an unspoiled getaway. With our base in San Pedro 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. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from and great selection of characters at the Lazy Lizard bar beside the split.

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, St. George's Caye Lodge is your best choice (24 hours notice required). Anchor up on the NE side and you're only a short dinghy ride from an area the locals call "Miami Beach"; a shallow water area with a sand bottom where you can walk for miles and explore and, in the right conditions, there's body surfing out by the reef.

Drowned Cayes (NW side) A perfect lunch stop where you can explore the finger channels and see the wrecks of old sugar barges, bird life and Manatees.

Spanish Lookout Caye With close access to Goff's Caye and the north end of the Drowned Cayes. With an all weather anchorage at the south end and an easterlies anchorage on the northwest side, Spanish Lookout Caye is a great overnight stop. Spanish Bay Resort is located at the north end and they're very welcoming to charterers for meals or just to sit and chat at the bar. With a well established dive shop on site they can cater to the divers in your group.

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 snorkelling behind the reef. A day stop only but overnight anchorages are nearby.




English Caye
Just south of English Channel this island hosts a lighthouse, its keeper and his family. Anchor to the south for some excellent snorkelling on a huge patch of coral. Another day stop with overnights nearby.

Middle Long Caye
A well protected easterly anchorage with a small beach. For the more adventurous new activities centre and bar have opened up.

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
A client favourite and, due to its location, an excellent base for those who love to snorkel. This is an all weather anchorage with several fish camps and lots of exploring to do. Some of the best snorkelling is along the reef just east of the island. The sunsets over the Maya Mountains are stunning and the sunrises are no different. Colson Cayes offer a shallow lagoon to explore by dinghy, with plenty of coral nearby that can be snorkelled right from off the boat.

Columbus Caye and Cross Caye Two islands right at the reefs edge offering shelter from northerlies, stunning water colours and sunrises. Snorkelling is just a dinghy ride from the anchorage.

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 snorkelling. Diving can be arranged at Tobacco Caye

South Water Caye
This is as far south as most people go in a week from San Pedro. It is host to three resorts so dining out is possible and you can sometimes top up your water tanks. IZE, a field research and educational resort is located here and the hosts could not be any friendlier. Just south is Carrie Bow Caye, a day anchorage, offering exceptional snorkelling and a spectacular wall dive. Diving can be arranged at South Water Caye.

Lagoon Caye
A favourite of one of Base Managers, in the right conditions (and level of fitness) you can snorkel around the entire island under the overhanging Mangroves. The area is filled with juvenile fish, sponges, corals, Ospreys and Pelicans. The inner lagoon can be explored by dinghy where you may see Sea Turtles, Spotted Eagle Rays and the occasional Manatee.

For Those on Charters Over 7 Days
There are many islands on the south end of Belize as well many of them are weather specific even for overnight anchorages. For clients visiting these areas we provide charts and a briefing that goes in to detail about all the available anchorages. We highly suggest reading the Cruising Guide and studying these islands before your vacation. Our recommendation? Wipari Caye.

The Rio Dulce of Guatemala
TMM offers our clients with more time on their hands to visit Rio Dulce in Guatemala with a Captain aboard. Arrangements need to be made a minimum of one week prior to arriving in Belize so we can prepare the paperwork for you and you will need to check out of the country in San Pedro (must leave Belize within 48 hours), Big Creek or Punta Gorda. Check in must be made in Punta Gorda or Big Creek and all fees are the responsibility of the charter. A helpful hint; avoid checking in or out on weekends or holidays. In Guatemala you will check in and out at the port of Livingston and you will need to use an expediter for this process. 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.

Lighthouse, Turneffe & Glovers These incredible atolls are totally accessible so long as you take a TMM local skipper along. After seeing these jewels with all the scattered coral heads in ten feet of turquoise water, you will quickly understand why we insist that you take the skipper! A diver's paradise with famous dives such as The Blue Hole and the Aquarium!
