Fishing Licenses

In 2009, the Government of Belize enacted two sport fishing regulations to protect sport fishing species in Belize. One was to regulate and protect the most popular and important fish species to sport fishing in Belize; the bonefish, permit, and tarpon are mandatory catch and release within the borders of Belize. There are no exceptions to this rule. The second regulation was the implementation of a licensing program the sport fishing industry. 

If you are between the ages of 16-65 years of age, you will need a fishing license. You may choose to purchase a 1 day license for $20 BZ or a 1 week license for $50 BZ.
