RoaTide - Snorkeling & Fishing

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.
