Scott Mills5.0VerifiedAmazing captain and mate
Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis on August 26, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had several challenges with wind, storms, overcast, etc.. today and with captain nato and Victor's knowledge of these waters they were still able to get us on the fish including the tarpon. We caught several LARGE snapper, huge barracuda, had opportunities at bonefish and most importantly boated tarpon. Tarpon was my main goal of this trip and these two did EVERYTHING to get me on one. Their passion for these waters and sport is like something I've never seen before, can recommend enough!
Matt Summers5.0VerifiedExcellent guide
Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis on March 22, 2026 • 1 adultCaptain Nato was one of the hardest-working and most professional fishing guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. From start to finish, he put in a full day of effort and expertise, consistently putting me on fish—from bonefish to tarpon to permit. His years of experience really show, and his knowledge of the water is exceptional. What stood out even more was his passion—it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy made the entire experience even better. Thank you, Captain Nato, for an unforgettable day on the water. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier fishing guide!
Archie Seymour5.0VerifiedAmazing first day flats fishing!
Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis on April 21, 2026 • 1 adultI had an amazing day out with Captain Nato, which also happened to be my first time on the flats! The guidance was excellent, I was put into a school of a thousand Bones within 20 minutes of leaving port. Listen to any advice he gives you and genuinely be curious, ask the questions you want to know as he is passionate about where he lives and what he gets to do. Thanks Nato, I’ll be back for sure!
James Roland4.7VerifiedFirst time bonefish on the fly- sucess
Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing/spinfis on January 21, 2026 • 2 adultsNato had the conditions (overcast with later day rain) against us, but he found feeding bonefish in quieter wayer and gave us consistent shots at them. we are experienced fly and light tackle on fresh and saltwater but this was our first time for bonefish. Really spooky but did have our chances and landed my first bonefish. Super exciting and Nato is just a great guy to spend the day fishing with.

Half day trip fly fishing or spinfi on August 9, 2026 • 2 adultsI had a great experience fishing with a local guide. He was very experienced in the area and we hooked up to over a dozen barrcuda. I would definitely book again.
Martin TochtropRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Bonefish trip
Half day trip fly fishing or spinfi on April 22, 2026 • 2 adultsThis is my second time using Captain Nato. I specifically wanted to target Bonefish and he did not disappoint. We fished 1/2 day on the flats southwest of Ambergris. Boated 12 and a few snapper.
