Growing up.
Born in Belize City, Jermaine resides and works the sea full time, covering all of Belize’s territorial waters.

Overtime he gained an extensive knowledge of our ports, atolls and entire coastal waters of Belize.Trained by the good ole school fishermen, he is capable of providing safe, professional fishing charters with a wealth of knowledge left behind by his elders. All this was made possible by the perseverance and hard work of a dedicated seaman.
After 10 years as a marine pilot between Big Creek and mostly Belize City port, Jermaine decided to follow his passion and get back on the water. It was also a way to be closer to Family and mentors including, but not limited to: Joel, Carlton, David Charles “Brads”, Lincoln, Hopetown and Noel Westby, along with the Leslie and Faux family of Placencia.
