Tarpon Caye Lodge in Belize is a saltwater fly fishing destination custom-tailored on a private island retreat for the serious flats fishermen and, more specifically, hardcore permit fisherman. The location is perfect, as you are never more than a short boat ride to the permit flats. With good reason, this part of Belize is known as the permit capital of the world!

Hugged by Mexico to the North, Guatemala to the West and South and kissed by the picturesque Caribbean to the East, with a quick two hour flight from the United States, Belize is a unique blend of pristine nature, a rich melting pot of cultures, and endless adventure.

Tarpon Caye Lodge sits on a secluded, private island only 6 miles west of the second longest barrier reef in the world, and surrounded by hundreds of square miles of exquisite fishing grounds. The permit fishing in this part of Belize is excellent and there are few places in the world that offer better shots at this challenging fish. Many of the best flats are only five minutes from the island. This is your classic permit setting for those who love to target tailing fish in very shallow water. At times your guide will pole you along the pristine flats, while at times you will wade the flats in search of tailing fish.

Tarpon Caye Lodge can accommodate up to 10 rods at a time, making it ideal for small groups looking for a unique and intimate setting. Hammocks on the veranda invite weary anglers to stop and rest while offering the perfect place to watch the sun set on another day in “Permit Paradise”.
