The island of Roatan is situated smack-dab between Honduras and the deeper waters of the Carribean Sea, allowing for amazing offshore fishing right off the coast. RoaTide takes full advantage of that and invites you to join them on an exciting fishing adventure that only an island as bountiful as Roatan can offer!
Climb aboard their 23’ Bayliner center console, fitted with a bimini top and perfectly suited for the diverse waters of the Caribbean Sea. She’s equipped to help anglers battle large sea predators, with downriggers to extend your reach when trolling and a live bait tank, to keep your bait alive and kicking. She can develop a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots, thanks to her Yamaha Enduro engine, providing 200 HP worth of thrust.
She can hold up to 6 anglers, with 4 being able to fish at any one time.
Your guide and instructor for this exciting fishing adventure will be Captain Lewis Gough. He’ll take you after a variety of gorgeous fish species that inhabit the area. You can head to a number of secret spots around the island where you will battle the famous Silver Kings, as well as Permits and Bonefish. Alternatively, you can head out into the blue, where you will be up against a wide array of species like Kingfish, Groupers, Amberjacks, Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Mutton Snappers, Wahoos, Blackfin Tunas, and Sailfish. Wherever you go Captain Lewis is ready to give you a hand so you have as much fun as possible on his trips!
Alternatively, if Captain Lewis isn’t available, another highly-qualified local captain will take his place and make sure your trips become excellent memories.
Children under the age of 10 are not allowed on board, the charter will provide life jackets in all sizes. Snacks and drinks are all provided and included in the price. The first mate will clean, fillet, and bag your catch – he works for tips exclusively so gratuity is greatly appreciated.

Half Day Deep Sea Fishing 32' Panga on March 26, 2025
I had taken my kids and grandkids out in some great waters (Cabo, Nassau, and Cozmel) and got skunked 3 times in a row. I told Captain Lewis that my grandkids were loosing interest, and they just wanted to catch fish, I didn't care what kind. Capt. Lewis is a tournament fisherman, but also a dad. We started off by the mate using a cast net to catch live bait. The grandkids helped catch the fish that fell out of the net and put them in the live well. We then headed out to some deeper water. There were 5 of us and each of us caught at least 2 fish. The biggest were some toothy needle fish that were several feet long. They jumped in the air on the way in several times, making for an exciting catch. We also caught black fin tuna, and a bunch of jacks. Capt. Lewis took us to a local restaurant where they cooked up our catch for a reasonable price. I couldn't have asked for a better trip with my family, or a better captain and first mate. We will definitely look them up if / when we get back to Roatan.

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter in Roatan, Honduras! After disembarking from our cruise ship, we were greeted by a friendly driver holding a sign right outside the gate. He was incredibly welcoming and gave us a great tour of the island on our way to the boat. Once we set out, the fishing was fantastic. We didn’t have to go far to start trolling and caught some awesome fish, including a blackfin tuna, blue runner, and a wahoo—what a catch! The crew was professional and made sure we were having a great time the whole way through. After the fishing, they took us to a floating restaurant where they cooked up our fresh catch while the kids enjoyed some snorkeling nearby. The whole experience was incredible, and the crew’s hospitality really made it special. Highly recommend this charter for anyone visiting Roatan!

Half Day Trip - Fly Fishing (AM) on June 12, 2025
We had a great time. Fun for the whole family. Captain taught us how to fly fish and after a lil instruction we caught the first bonefish! Then a snapper and a couple jacks. The highlight was a 3’ barracuda that put up about a 10 minute fight and right as I got it to the boat slipped away! We obtain some island history, information about crabs that we had seen the day before and snorkeled! We should have booked an 8 hour expedition!
