Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of fish can I catch in Roatan?
For fly fishing enthusiasts, Roatan’s flats are home to bonefish, permit, and tarpon—the prized species of the “Grand Slam.” In deeper waters, you’ll find mahi-mahi, tuna, barracuda, and wahoo, among others.
Can I go spearfishing in Roatan?
Spearfishing is restricted to lionfish, an invasive species found throughout the Caribbean. To spearfish, you must take an approved course through the Roatan Marine Park and use the Hawaiian sling which they provide.
Are there large variations in the tide?
Roatan experiences minimal tidal variation due to its location near the equator, making it an excellent destination for consistent fishing conditions year-round.
When is the best time of year to fish in Roatan?
Roatan offers excellent fishing year-round. Bonefish are abundant on the flats throughout the year, while deep sea fishing is especially rewarding during spring and summer when mahi-mahi and tuna are more active.
Can beginners go fly or deep sea fishing?
Absolutely! Both our fly fishing and deep sea fishing experiences are tailored to all skill levels. Our experienced guides are happy to provide instruction and guidance to make sure you have an enjoyable day on the water.
Do I need to bring my own fishing equipment?
No need! All of our fishing charters are fully equipped with high-quality rods, reels, and tackle for both fly and deep sea fishing.
