Roatán Sport Fishing & Snorkeling Adventure with Round-Trip Transport
Make a short run from Roatán’s docks to deep-water channels for mahi, wahoo, and tuna, then cool off snorkeling the island’s reef. This guided combo includes gear, license, filleting, and hotel or cruise-port pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use coral-friendly sunscreen to protect the reef and bring a hat to reduce sun exposure on deck.
Hydrate and pack a dry bag
Three hours on the water plus sun makes hydration crucial; keep phones and medications in a dry bag.
Tell the operator your experience level
Declare if you’re a first-time angler or have mobility limits so the crew can adapt rods and assistance.
Expect motion and secure loose gear
Rougher conditions can appear crossing channels — bring anti-nausea remedies if you’re sensitive and clip down cameras.
