The People Behind Our Success
Meet Our Crew
Raf
Whether he’s casting a line into the turquoise flats or navigating the Cut, Raf is a man defined by his deep connection to the waters of Caye Caulker. An avid fly fishing guide and the founder of Northside Ferry Service, Raf’s journey has always been about more than just business—it’s about stewardship and community.
Driven by a desire to provide a fair, reliable alternative for the Split crossing, Raf launched Northside as a family-owned venture rooted in the spirit of "Go Slow." His mission is simple: offer the best rates for locals and tourists alike, ensuring that Northside remains accessible to everyone who calls the island home.
For Raf, the heartbeat of the business is the next generation. Understanding the daily hurdles students face, he made a cornerstone commitment to provide completely free crossings for students attending school. Beyond the ferry, he remains a steadfast supporter of local education, investing back into the community that has supported him.
When you step onto a Northside ferry or head out on a fishing charter with Raf, you aren’t just a passenger or a client—you’re part of a local legacy built on kindness, fair play, and a lifelong love for the sea.
