Rain or shine, these guys SHINE!

Cruiser Friendly Fishing Trip4 adults

It rained, which was unfortunate, but Earl and Jayden worked hard the entire time. Despite the weather, we still managed to catch 5 fish, and we had a great time with them. They also arranged transportation, which made the process of getting there and back super easy. Would definitely go fishing with these guys again!

    Great Day on the Water with Joseph

    Half Day Deep Sea Fishing (AM) • 4 adults

    Spent half a day with Joseph and Roatan Reef Explorer Tours - We were 4 - me and my 3 sons (ages 15, 19,and 20). We left early in the morning and ended up catching a couple of blackfin tuna, a large barracuda and a large Mahi. The boat was clean and well-stocked. Joseph is a great host and kept us all smiling and entertained with his stories of fishing and the island. It was a completely relaxed and stress-free day and we got out catch cleaned and bagged right after. We made sashimi with the tuna, and some of the Mahi and the rest we used in a nice seafood pasta we made back at the house. All-in-all a perfect morning. Thank you Joseph! We'll be giving you a call the next time we're in Roatan (hopefully soon). Good luck with your own upcoming USA fishing adventure.

    Fantastic day on the water with Roatan Reef Explorers!

    Half Day Fishing + 2 Snorkel Stops • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had such a fantastic day on the water with Roatan Reef Explorers and Captain Joseph! These guys were incredibly kind, funny, super knowledgeable, and especially great with our young son—they made the whole experience fun and relaxed for our family. While we didn’t catch everything we were hoping for, Captain Joseph worked hard to get us to the best fishing spots and kept things entertaining the entire time. The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful and a highlight of the day. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun, memorable experience in Roatan!

    Highly Recommended Fishing Charter

    Cruise Friendly Fishing • 4 adults

    My family and I were in Roatan for the day on a cruise. I arranged this fishing trip in advanced and I'm very glad that I did. Joseph was waiting for us and had us on the water fishing very quickly to make the most out of the day. He was very knowledgeable of the waters and area in general. After a fun day of fishing Joseph recommended a nice seafood lunch restaurant and other local activities. He made sure we were back to the ship in plenty of time. The whole family enjoyed the day and I highly recommend this fishing charter.

    Excellent Experience!!!

    Half Day Deep Sea Fishing (AM) • 2 adults

    We had an incredible experience with Roatan Reef Explorer Tours and Captain Joseph. From the moment we met him, you could tell this isn’t just a job for him—it’s a lifelong passion. He’s been fishing these waters since he was a kid, and that deep local knowledge really shows once you’re out on the water. Joseph and his first mate worked nonstop to make sure we were on fish and having a great time. We did a mix of trolling and drifting, and the action didn’t disappoint. We had shots at species like mahi, tuna, and kingfish, and learned a lot along the way. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, they make the trip fun, easy, and stress-free. If you’re visiting Roatan and want an authentic fishing experience with a local captain who truly loves the ocean, this is the charter to book. One of the highlights of our vacation and I wouldn’t hesitate to fish with Joseph again.
