2 Tickets to Paradise on SEA’S d DAY

Boat Charter Belize

I was so excited to get a day on the water to one of my favorite places; the backside of the island, for some high-quality relaxation time.

When I got the message the night before, that I could bring a friend I knew I would have no trouble finding one. At the time I had two great short notice choices in close proximity. Sandie won the first pick by a millimeter because she and I already toured the boat together and I told her if I get a “plus one” it will be her. She almost jumped at the chance but between checking into the Sunbreeze Hotel for a hot date with her hubby the next day and a bit of work, her plate was full. Fellow boat lover and longtime friend Jack was an instant “yes”.

The crew for the day was: Alex, Sonia, Monique, and last but not least Elito and Rebecca who personally welcomed us for the special press tour – i Travel Belize, San Pedro Scoop and San Pedro Sun. They shared a bit about their vision of wanting to do something unique and highly enjoyable and wanted our feedback. I would definitely say they hit the mark. Houseboats are a very cool way to travel. That day it was combined with excellent staff, family, great fellow writers, and yummy food. What more could a girl ask for?

I am giving the crew a fabulous 2 thumbs up and there are many reasons why. A few of my top ones: golden crispy fritters, 2 kinds of fresh-baked cookies and cupcake brownies, fajitas on the upper deck grill and fresh-made specialty virgin and alcoholic beverages. 😉

But there was so much more…..

  • A trip to one of my favorite places – off the west side of Ambergris Caye.
  • A cool collection of floaty and other toys on their tour.
  • Impeccable service the whole day from Rebecca and her kitchen crew turning out delicious food and drinks to Elito making sure I found my waterproof camera after I pitched a header in my kayak.
  • Did I mention floaty toys? They even had a small air compressor to blow them up – very impressive. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of floating. My friend Cindy and I recently laughed at how we have been waiting for years (since 2008) for someone else to bring the toys 😀 when I was showing her the houseboat video.

Since it was already a workout day for me and I did not want to get wet because it was a bit cold, I opted to kayak around the thankfully small island. I caught up with Jack part way down; he had paddle-boarded to a nice mangrove shallow for a quiet moment in the sun.

As I kayaked around the island I thought about the ancient Maya and how they traveled around these parts. I imagined all the “treasures” that might be found on the small island.

I was also reminded of years past when a friend and I used to run races on the sandbar at that very spot. It was so much fun because one of us might have been in the lead then all of a sudden a foot sunk in a soft patch of sand causing either of us to pinwheel in a fit of laughter.

As mentioned above I ended up being a picture drunk tipsy taco and getting wet. Elito happened to be going for a walk in the gorgeous shallows at the time and stopped to help me bail the kayak.

Before long it was time to hoist anchor and head south.

Such a great water party it is nice to finally have an option to get to the sandbar again. This Tropical Houseboat Tour is truly your ticket to Paradise.

taco Tip #3

A floating camera strap for your waterproof camera is always a worthwhile investment. So is actually using it, as I should have done that day. If you are wondering if it is worth it to go for a waterproof camera? As much as I use my cell phone for everything, I love a great rugged waterproof camera for vacation and weather. I highly recommend microfiber beach towels too,  I have got so many compliments on mine. Don’t forget a functional and stylish looking beach bag to put it all in or a secure dry bag for speedboat type tours.

About SEA’S d DAY

Wanting to bring locals and travelers a unique new San Pedro Tour Experience, Seaduced by Belize owners Rebecca and Elto, did their version of “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” as they went to Arkansas to see one, then raced to Florida to buy the houseboat.

After getting it back to Belize they raced to remodel and turn the boat into something welcoming and stylish with their own personal stamp. The 58 footer offers an HGTV worthy decor inside including a full-size kitchen, big barbecue, upper deck, and a 90 horsepower engine.

Available water activities: kayaks, paddleboards, floaty toys, and water slide.

Public tours maximum is 30 people. Private charters 40-50 capacity. Click through on SEA’S d Day link on the Seaduced website for more information and pricing.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
