Top 6 Adventures You Can Experience with Your Private Boat, Captain & Guide in Belize
One of the most unique and exciting features of staying at Casa Al Mar is having your very own private boat, captain, and guide for the entire duration of your trip. This rare amenity takes your Belize vacation to the next level, offering freedom, flexibility, and a completely personalized experience.
Instead of joining crowded group tours or sticking to rigid schedules, your family or group sets the pace. Whether you’re snorkeling, fishing, or simply cruising the turquoise waters, every outing is designed exclusively for you.
Here are the top six adventures you can enjoy with your private boat and guide while staying at Casa Al Mar.
1. Snorkel the Belize Barrier Reef
The Belize Barrier Reef is the second-largest in the world and one of the country’s top attractions. With your private boat, you’ll have direct access to some of the most vibrant and uncrowded snorkeling spots.
- Swim alongside colorful tropical fish and stunning coral formations
- Choose from quiet, hidden locations far from tourist crowds
- Spend as much time as you want exploring — no rushing or fixed timelines
Pro Tip: Sunrise snorkeling trips are magical — the water is calm, and marine life is most active.
2. Go Fishing Like a Local
Belize is a world-class fishing destination, and with your private captain, you can try it all:
- Reef fishing for snapper, grouper, and other local favorites
- Flats fishing for bonefish, permit, and tarpon
- Deep-sea fishing for larger catches like mahi-mahi or wahoo
Your guide will tailor the experience to your skill level, making it fun for beginners and exciting for experienced anglers.
3. Island Hopping Adventures
Belize is dotted with tiny islands, known locally as cayes, each with its own charm and beauty. With a private boat, you can spend the day exploring these hidden gems.
- Visit uninhabited islands perfect for picnicking and swimming
- Discover local villages and experience authentic Belizean culture
- Enjoy beachcombing and shell collecting with the kids
Favorite Stop: Silk Caye, a pristine marine reserve with incredible snorkeling and white-sand beaches.
4. Picnic on a Secluded Sandbar
For the ultimate castaway experience, your captain can take you to a secluded sandbar surrounded by nothing but sparkling turquoise water. Here, you’ll enjoy a private picnic prepared by your chef — think fresh fruit, grilled seafood, and chilled drinks.
This is a guest favorite for families and couples alike, offering a once-in-a-lifetime setting for connection and relaxation.
5. Go Scuba Diving or Learn on your trip!
If your group includes certified divers, your private guide can arrange exclusive trips to world-renowned dive sites.
- Personalized instruction for beginners or refresher courses
- Access to less-crowded dive spots for a peaceful experience
- Convenient dive trips without the hassle of group operators
This is perfect for families who want to learn to dive together or experienced divers looking for flexibility.
6. Wildlife Spotting by Boat
The waters around Belize are teeming with wildlife, and your private boat offers a front-row seat. Depending on the season, you might see:
- Dolphins playfully swimming near the bow
- Manatees grazing in shallow waters
- Sea turtles, rays, and even nurse sharks
- Seabirds like pelicans, frigatebirds, and herons
Because your guide knows the local ecosystem, they’ll take you to the best spots to maximize your chances of unforgettable encounters.

- No waiting for strangers or crowded group tours
- Personalized adventures tailored to your family’s interests
- Maximum comfort and privacy
