The clear, clean waters surrounding Roatán [1], stroked by steady trade winds most of the year and stocked with most of the known fish species in the Caribbean, are superb for sailing and fishing trips. The Bay Islands [2] are a growing destination among the yacht crowd, although docking services are limited to Barefoot Cay on Roatán, and in La Ceiba [3].
Many boat owners offer fishing trips [4], either deep-sea or flats fishing, or both. Day trips, cocktail cruises, and other customized boat trips can be arranged. One of the easiest ways to get what you are looking for is simply to ask around, or keep an eye out for posted fliers offering cruises.
