I traveled to Punta Gorda and specifically to Garbutt's with three friends in late March/early April. Like most people who visit, we were in search of some permit and had heard that Garbutt's was the place to find them, and they were right. Everyone in our group landed at least one permit during the four days we were there, and another guest landed an almost unheard of six fish in a single day. Garbutt's is a family run business, and they treat you like you are part of their family from the moment you arrive to the time you leave. Dennis is the resort manager and he makes sure every detail is attended to eagerly and happily. His brothers Scully and Oliver, along with their cousin Yogi and their Uncle Vic, are all expert guides who have been fishing these waters their entire lives. And Dennis' sister Betty prepares amazing dinners to go with the breakfasts and lunches that are packed onboard each boat for the day's adventures. Long story short, and as the photos attest, this is a first class fishing lodge and a world class Permit fishery that I will return to again and again.

Our group of 10 booked a trip to Lime Caye with Garbutts. It was fantastic! It was a 1.5 hour boat ride to the island where we saw pilot whales along the way. The island is perfect with beautiful clear blue waters, white sandy beaches.
For $120 usd, we had a weekend of delicious meals, prime snorkeling on the barrier reef, fishing and great cabins for lodging.
This is a private island for your group and is truly a once in a lifetime experience!response / report this review -

Best place to get away in the south. Has a tranquil view from your veranda you and the Caribbean sea. Owner is friendly and they are the top fly fishing guides. They also offer regular fishing and a private island with the most beautiful blue water in this region if you don't want to stay at the in town cabins.
