capital of permit fishing throughout the globe

Belize

Belize is known as the capital of permit fishing throughout the globe. Garbutt’s is proud to be recognized as the capital of permit fishing within the country of Belize. Located in the small southern community of Punta Gorda we have quick access to some of the most productive permit fishing found anywhere in the world.

Wake each morning in your air-conditioned accommodations with the Caribbean Sea to the front and Joe Taylor Creek to the back. Grab the necessary equipment from your accommodations and walk fifty feet to load into the Garbutt’s boats with your guide for a day of permit fishing.
