We wish to thank you for your interest and for having taken your time to read about us and we stand ready to assist in all your needs, helping to make your stay in Belize enjoyable. Our typical client is the large motor yacht or the smaller cruise ship cruising Belize.

Operating since 1995, Ventura Yacht Agency is one of Belize’s oldest and most experienced Yacht service providers.  An unparalleled reputation for comprehensive, discreet, and professional service has gained us international acclaim and attracted a number of high profile clients to our substantial customer base.

Whilst working as a shore agent for offshore resorts, a call came over the radio from a frantic captain in desperate need of fuel and ground transportation for his guests. At the time there were no cellular service or fixed phones from resorts to the mainland and VHF was the only means of communications.  The captain who had ordered bunkers, had not received it, asked for my assistance in locating the much needed bunkers that he had ordered and was not delivered. I quickly resolved the issue, at which point he asked if I could arrange ground transfer of his guests and attend to all his needs while he was cruising in Belize, which I gladly obliged.  Upon his departure he passed on my details to an incoming yacht who contacted me to assist the same and Ventura Yacht Agency was born.

24 years later, we are still here providing the same unparalleled and dedicated personalized service to all our yacht guests. Centrally located in Belize City and equipped with a wealth of knowledge of both local and international regulations as well as in-depth familiarity with local requirements, we are able to offer advice on a number of important issues including, but not limited to, docking options and restrictions, entry requirements, provisioning and bunkering just to list a few.

Belize has numerous natural features from jungle wildlife to marine. Topping the list is the Great Barrier Reef designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site, the natural wonder the Great Blue Hole made famous by Jacques Cousteau and swimming with whale sharks who seasonally migrate to the spawning grounds of the Nassau Grouper to feed, to name a few. Full cruising details, GPS coordinates, maps, tour information, limited docking options, marine reserves and protected areas, and much more relevant information can be found and downloaded from our website www.belizemegayacht.com .

The largest restriction for yachts coming to Belize is the limited water for cruising in Northern Belize where depths average 6.5 feet. Our second biggest limitation is the availability of deep water docking facilities. From a maintenance perspective Belize has no slipways or other maintenance support facilities to offer.

Belize is home to many offshore islands where Captains can easily find refuge, privacy and sheltered anchorage for the owners benefit.

As Belize enjoys sub-tropical weather conditions, temperature averages 85° Year round, however due to the hurricane season, it is recommended to cruise with caution within the months of July to October. Cold fronts with northerly winds sweep across the country occasionally from December tapering off in March.

Belize is rich with ethnic diversity.  The primary language of Belize is English, but Spanish is also widely spoken.  Due to the abundance of culture many other dialects are also spoken. While Roman Catholicism remains the predominant religion, almost all other denominations flourish freely.  As the culture is rich and mixed, Belize enjoys a cornucopia of cuisines indigenous to Belize as well as the globe.

As Belize sits only 2 hours, as the crow flies, from the Continental Untied States most necessities and provisions are available locally. Most chefs are usually surprised at the availability of goods in Belize.

On the island of San Pedro, Ambergris Caye is Belize’s fun and entertainment capital. Belize International Airport BZE is only 10 miles away from the port and Belize City. With more eco-adventure and excursions offered than any other country, second only to Alaska and Australia, we look forward to helping you plan your visit.
