BEFORE YOU CAST

A few good
questions.

Where are the trips based?

Marlon is based in Placencia, Belize. Tell him where you’re staying so you can agree on the meeting point and any pickup arrangements before the trip.

Can I choose the fish I want to target?

Yes, share your interests in the form. Marlon can discuss permit, tarpon and bonefish options based on your dates and conditions. Fish and catches are never guaranteed.

What should I bring, and what does it cost?

Ask Marlon for current rates, inclusions, equipment, licensing requirements and what to bring. Confirm the details directly before agreeing to a trip.

Does the form confirm my booking?

No. It prepares a message that you send through WhatsApp. Your booking is only confirmed once you and Marlon have agreed on the details.
