The new Lodge features many of the original buildings with a fresh redesign that incorporates the modern comforts that this generation of traveling anglers has come to enjoy and expect. The goal of the redesign was to create an atmosphere that honors the heritage of the original Lodge while rejuvenating it with contemporary luxury elements. During reconstruction, much of the old Lodge and guest cabins were salvaged and have been incorporated into new furniture, accent elements, and décor of the Lodge and guest rooms. The main Lodge integrates an open-air design, so that you may fully appreciate the beauty of the marine environment. Our unique shutter system allows us to have the Lodge fully open to the natural world, or to quickly close-up the shutters to protect the interior when inclement weather threatens. The five guest cabanas, offering a maximum capacity of 10 anglers, have been completely refurbished and deliver a surprising level of sophistication for such a remote location. Each room is furnished with two full-size beds, a private bathroom, and on-demand hot-water showers. Air-conditioning is standard in all of the rooms, giving our guests the option of enjoying the ocean breeze or a controlled climate.
We focus our program on the best fishing opportunities. Each evening, our guide team sets the agenda for the next day based on the tides and what they think will produce the best opportunities to catch fish.
Here is a sample itinerary:
5:15 am: Coffee
5:30 am: Breakfast
6 am: Depart for fishing
3 pm - 4 pm: Return from fishing
6:15 pm: Appetizers
7 pm: Dinner
Our pro shop has a selection of flies, leaders, and tippet that the guides suggest for success. We have rental rods, reels, and wading boots available.
The South Water Caye Marine Reserve, locally known as Permit Alley, is home to prime pancake flats and many schools of permit, bonefish, and tarpon. Protected by the nearby barrier reef, it is a mecca for flats fishing. The majority of anglers come to Blue Horizon to pursue permit. Permit are plentiful, and you can expect plenty of shots at 5–20-pound permit on any given day. There are few places in the world where you can expect to have the number of shots at tailing permit than Permit Alley. While the area is most well-known for permit, there are impressive numbers of bonefish as well. On an average day on the flats, any time of year, you can expect to see bonefish. The most common place to spot them is on the flats near the cayes or on select reef flats. Tarpon are also present in the fishery throughout the year, in select channels and protected island lagoons. The tarpon migration is generally from late April through August in this part of Belize, with the channels and cayes in the South Water Caye Marine Reserve getting robust schools of tarpon during the migration.
