Caye Caulker is better known as a windsurfing destination, perhaps because it attracts a younger crowd than Ambergris Caye, but the winds are equally good and consistent off Ambergris Caye. February through July sees the windiest conditions, with winds 12 to 20 knots most days. Kitesurfing, combining a windsurfing-type board pulled by a large kite, is also available on Ambergris Caye.

Sailsports Belize. Sailsports Belize at Caribbean Villas offers private windsurfing instruction at BZ$98 an hour, with equipment rental at BZ$44-BZ$54 an hour, or from BZ$98 a day. Five hours of intensive kitesurfing instruction costs BZ$660, and your initial kite-board rental, with an instructor on hand to assist, is BZ$132 for two hours. After that, kitesurfing equipment (kite and board) rentals are BZ$164 for a full day. All rates plus 12.5% tax. Sailsports Belize also rents catamarans.
