Whipray Caye Lodge
Placencia is permit country pure and simple. The tidal flats east of town consistently provide more shots at permit than anywhere in the world. Whipray Caye is a very small private island located in the thick of the action. The island was developed with one thing in mind - catching permit. Personal attention, great food and drinks truly make you feel right at home in the middle of the ocean. Spending time with special friends, comparing fishing notes and catching up on old times are all part of the daily routine. There is no lack of lively conversation. Everyone has an opinion on how to catch a permit. You'll get to hear a bunch of them for sure. The intricacies of catching paranoid Permit on the flats are taught here.
Owned and operated by Julian Cabral and his wife Beverly, Whipray Caye Lodge is custom made for serious salt-water fishermen and the independent traveler wanting to step away from everyday stress into a pure and natural world - where the fast pace comes to a screaching halt. Make no mistake about it, this is a fisherman’s lodge for those who are dedicated to the hunt for paranoid Permit.
Fishing
Julian is one of Belize's top permit guides. Having Julian around makes fishing out of Whipray an experience you will never forget. Engrained in the Placencia society, Julian and his guides have seen and experienced (most) everything there is to see regarding permit. His prime lodging location keeps him into permit all the time. Very few places on earth will give you the legendary permit experience that Whipray Caye Lodge will. There's no other place like it. Several of the world's best permit flats are only a five-minute boat ride away from the island. This is your classic permit setting for those who love to wade to their fish. Your guide will pole you along the pristine flats until fish are spotted. You'll then be asked to quietly slip out of the boat and slowly wade toward the fish to get the best possible shot at them.
Accomodations
The accommodations consist of two unique two-room cabanas. Each bedroom has its own private entry and bathroom with hot and cold water and two full beds. Built for sunstainable tourism, each cabin has cross through ventilation, ceiling fans and cross-through ventilation from windows on every outside wall, clear and natural rainwater fit for drinking or a nice warm shower on those rare chilly days and 12v and generator-supplied current in every room.
Whipray features the famous Sea Urchin Bar and Restaurant, one of the most unique establishments found anywhere. The kitchen serves up a variety of Belizean and American food, mostly served fresh from the sea. Enjoy very cold beer or your favorite cocktail and the best food around all while lounging under the thatched roof where cooling breezes keep you comfortable. Relax and take in the incredible Belizean sunsets.
