Wonder how the charters do it to Cancun or Cozumel? Indeed.

To do a wholesale charter trip there has to be a resort that can handle 200+ guests in the same type of room for a week. I use 200+ as a starting point due to the number of seats an airliner that can fly to Belize non stop has. It has to be sold as a package also. The flight from Goldson to San Pedro adds another $100 to the package. Then it is a boat ride north to a resort that will be big enough. Mexico also doesn't have "monopoly" laws on imports, thus making it cheap for a mega resort to be "all inclusive" with the booze and food. I have looked into chartering flights down from Canada but the numbers don't work. Why spend WAY more to see Belize when most just want to go to the beach, get drunk, eat lots and get sunburned?
