Setting Sail from Chetumal

The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon as I boarded the boat in Chetumal, ready for a new adventure. The promise of a morning arrival on Caye Caulker had me buzzing with excitement. As a former professional surfer, the call of the ocean is something I can never resist, and this trip was no exception. The journey from Chetumal to San Pedro was a smooth sail, with the gentle rocking of the boat setting a relaxed tone for the day. The sea was a brilliant blue, and the salty breeze was a refreshing reminder of why I love island life.

The first leg of the trip took us to San Pedro, a vibrant island that serves as the gateway to Belize. Here, we docked at the San Pedro International Ferry Terminal, where the process of immigration and customs was surprisingly seamless. The hour spent here was a chance to stretch my legs and take in the lively atmosphere of the terminal. The anticipation of reaching Caye Caulker kept my spirits high, and soon enough, we were back on the boat, ready to continue our journey.

The final stretch from San Pedro to Caye Caulker was a short 45-minute ride, but it was filled with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. The water shimmered under the morning sun, and the sight of distant islands dotted along the horizon was a sight to behold. As we approached Caye Caulker, the island’s laid-back vibe was palpable even from afar. The colorful buildings and swaying palm trees seemed to welcome us with open arms.

Upon arrival at the EZ BOY dock, I was eager to explore. The island’s motto, “Go Slow,” resonated with me as I stepped onto the sandy shores. It was a reminder to savor every moment, to let the island’s rhythm guide my day. The locals were friendly, their smiles as warm as the sun overhead. I felt an immediate connection to this place, a feeling that only deepened as I wandered through the charming streets.

I spent my day exploring the underwater world, marveling at the colorful marine life that called this place home. The experience was nothing short of magical, a reminder of the beauty that lies beneath the waves.

As the day drew to a close, I found myself at a beachside bar, sipping on a refreshing cocktail as the sun dipped below the horizon. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, a perfect end to a perfect day. Caye Caulker had captured my heart, and I knew I would return to this island paradise again and again.
