Can anyone offer the contact information for a barge service company between Belize City and Caye Caulker that can haul lumber and appliances?
thanks

(501 country code) 206-0083 is the phone number to Rapidito, which runs the Sassy Barge between Caye Caulker and Belize City. Joshua Marin is the owner and he also has Rapidito Construction Supplies, located on back street close to the BTL office. The Sassy Barge leaves Caye Caulker on Monday afternoon and travels to the Port of Belize in Belize City where it docks and discharges/accepts cargo until Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon it returns to Caye Caulker and the barge is discharged on Wednesday. It also leaves Caye Caulker on Thursday night and arrives in Belize City Friday morning, and returns back to Caye Caulker on Friday afternoon. So basically, the barge leaves Caye Caulker on Mondays & Thursdays afternoons from the back bridge, and returns from The Port of Belize in Belize City on Tuesday & Friday afternoons, discharging the next morning (Wednesday & Saturday)

Thanks so much for the information!!!! I was not able to find anything about barge service on the internet!!!
thanks

Caye Caulker is mostly not on the internet

There is a second barge service operated by the Varelha family. It has the same schedule as Sassy and the rates are about the same. I don't have their phone number but will look on the barge tomorrow since they are still offloading.
