Who We Are?

The Poon Shack is owned and operated by Hunter & Kelsey Ramos. We weren’t born in Belize, but found it as quick as we could! We live on the Texas coast, and have a passion for fly fishing, travel, and culture. We came to Belize for the fly fishing, but we stayed because of our love of the Belizean culture and people!

In 2020, we purchased land and shortly after began building the Poon Shack. She was finished in July of 2021, and we decided to break her in and love her for one year before starting our vacation rental adventures.

Our mission is to provide a clean, sustainable place for our friends; while getting the right locals and ‘gringos’ to come back, supporting local guides & businesses, and helping grow the island the right way!

Down the road, look for this website to be updated to include a small list of goods for sale. Whether that be flies with a track record of catching bonefish, tarpon, and permit. Or maybe you like the design of our slaps and want one for yourself.

We have set an exciting goal to be located full time in San Pedro, BZ in 2029. Boots on the ground, turning the Poon Shack complex into a full-service fly bar and outfitter— stories of bones, Belikin beers, and plenty of BS await!
