Alcohol: Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are complimentary while onboard. The Aggressor’s selection includes fruit juices, soft drinks, iced water, iced tea, coffee, and a limited selection of local beer and wine, which are complimentary.

The menu onboard is varied and plentiful, with a variety of American feasts, barbecues and local cuisine. If you have any special dietary requirements, please be sure these are noted when completing the GIS. You will awaken to fresh fruits, hot entrees, cereals and juices.

Dinners are served each evening and include salads, vegetables, seafood, beef or chicken with a fresh homemade dessert. Once onboard, please speak to the chef about any special needs. Certain special dietary and beverage requests may not be available due to the remote nature of this location.

Logistics

 

Airport: BZE, Belize Airport

 

 

Getting here, Saturday April 13th:

• The Belize Belize Aggressor IV operate out of Belize City, Central America. Guests arriving in Belize on Saturday are greeted at the international airport by a crewmember in uniform who will have a “Belize Aggressor III and Belize Aggressor IV” sign when guests exit outside of the airport. (Transfers are not provided from the Belize City Municipal Airport.) The yacht agent cannot enter Customs but will be just outside at the international arrivals area. Baggage handlers may aggressively offer to help with your luggage those few feet for a mandated per bag fee. Guests will be transported in an airconditioned van to the Radisson Fort George Hotel. Due to several flights arriving at the same time, the van will wait for all guests to arrive before departing the airport. Sometimes this can take over an hour for everyone to clear customs. Guests are welcome to take a taxi to the Radisson Fort George Hotel if they prefer not to wait (approx. $25). If you are already in Belize, please make your way to the Radisson Fort George Hotel any time before 4 pm. Both yachts dock or anchor at the Radisson Fort George Hotel Dock and depart for the week after everyone is onboard Saturday evening. 

• If you are already in Belize, please make your way to the Radisson Fort George Hotel any time before 4 pm.

• Guests may board the boat starting at 4 pm and all guests must be onboard by 6 pm.

• In the event you arrive a day late, you can still board the yacht by having the yacht agent hire a water taxi to transport you to the Belize Aggressor III or IV. The cost of this service ranges from USD $400 to $800 (cost is determined by the location of the yacht) and is the client’s responsibility. (This cost is subject to change without notice).

• For guests arriving early in the day, Aggressor Detours Travel Dept [email protected] can arrange a private car and driver for the day to tour nearby ruins, the Belize Zoo or other activities. 

 

Friday April 19th:

• Last dive is before lunch then we head back to port.
• The staff hosts a Guest Appreciation Sunset Cocktail Party at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner ashore at a local restaurant (the only meal not included in the price of the charter). 
• After diving on Friday, the Captain will collect payment for purchases made throughout the week. The yachts return to Belize City at approximately 1:00 p.m. to provision and fuel. Shopping, a visit to the Belize Zoo, Cave Tubing, or a tour of a Mayan Ruin are available weather permitting (inquire with your agent prior to traveling).

 

Departure, Saturday April 20th:

• Saturday morning after a continental breakfast. There are two complimentary shuttles taking guests to the International Belize Airport at approximately 8 am and12 pm. If you are extending your stay in Belize other than staying at the Radisson Ft. George, taxis are available.
