Catamarancruise, open bar, eten en snorkelen
Beschrijving
Verken het kristalheldere water van Roatan aan boord van een catamaran. Je krijgt de kans om het koraalrif van Roatan te verkennen met behulp van een van de snorkelsets aan boord en te genieten van alcoholische dranken en snacks. Er is geen betere manier om te ontspannen in Roatan dan cruisen, snorkelen en zonnebaden op een geweldige catamaran. Neem contact met ons op voor particuliere KATTEN. Opmerking: soms, zelfs als het regent, is de oceaan kalm zodat de catamaran uit kan varen. Dit komt vaak voor en komt door het feit dat we beschermd worden door het rif. Op deze dagen kan het een beetje nat worden en is het zicht misschien niet optimaal. (Meestal is de zichtbaarheid hoe dan ook geweldig). Als u deze vaarvoorwaarden niet wilt accepteren, annuleert u dan minimaal 24 uur van tevoren de cruise om al uw geld terug te krijgen. Als u op het laatste moment annuleert, zijn wij genoodzaakt u kosten in rekening te brengen om de tijd en benzine van onze chauffeurs te kunnen betalen om u op te halen.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Dit is waar wij de meeste catamarans vandaan vertrekken. De catamaran wacht op u bij de aanlegsteiger van het Infinity Bay Resort in West Bay Beach. West Bay Beach is het beste strand van heel Roatán en behoort tot de TOP 25-stranden ter wereld volgens Traveler's Choice Awards. Als je er eenmaal bent, ben je het paradijs binnengegaan. Gegarandeerd! Als alternatief vertrekken we vanuit West End, een echte lokale ontmoetingsplaats.
We varen rond West Bay, van West End Wall tot West End Village. Je zult in staat zijn om het turquoise kristalheldere water van Roatan te verkennen.
Van een afstand zullen we het eclectische en levendige dorp West End waarderen. Een plek waar de lokale bevolking rondhangt, vol met duikwinkels, restaurants, bars en allerlei lokale winkels! Hier springen we uit de boot en het rif in voor een snorkeltocht van 30 minuten tot 1 uur om de magie van de riffen van Roatan te ervaren. Snorkelen is optioneel en je kunt in de boot blijven of gewoon even zwemmen! We kiezen de beste snorkelplek voor de dag, afhankelijk van het weer op die specifieke dag! We zullen kiezen tussen: - Spookachtig kanaal - Blauw kanaal -West End-muur - Schildpadden oversteken -Enz. * Je snorkelt 1 plek op deze Cat cruise
Bij slecht weer aan de noordkust van het eiland kunnen we de catamarantocht misschien verplaatsen naar de zuidkust. In dit geval ziet u een andere kant van Roatan, maar ook een mooie! Als we u naar de zuidkust brengen, vaart u langs Brick Bay, French Harbour en Parrot Tree. Bereid je voor op fantastische uitzichten en geweldige plekken!
Hoogtepunten
Wat is inbegrepen
Ophaallocaties en -tijden
We kunnen u ophalen recht tegenover de cruisehaven! We hebben een bord met "Roatan Tour Gids Association" en ons logo erop! Pick-up / Drop-off zijn inbegrepen in al onze tours. Wij nemen spoedig contact met u op om u meer informatie te sturen! Controleer na het boeken uw inbox! Houd er ook rekening mee dat de tijd voor deze tour op elk moment kan veranderen, daarom vragen we u om uw berichten op Viator en e-mail tot de tourdatum (vooral de avond voor en ochtend van de tour) te controleren in het geval er updates zijn. Reageer ook op alle berichten die we u sturen, omdat we moeten bevestigen dat u ze hebt ontvangen en op de hoogte zijn van alle updates die we u bieden. Opmerking : In het geval dat we de tour moeten annuleren, ontvangt u een goede melding. Als u geen bericht van Viator of ons ontvangt, betekent dit dat de tour volgens planning verloopt. Controleer uw berichten op updates. Vergeet niet dat dit geen privézeil is en dat het gedeeld zal worden met andere mensen. Ook werken we met verschillende grootte Catamarans die passen 40 - 70 gasten en degene die u zal varen op hangt af van het cruiseschip verkeer die dag en of het een dag cruise of zonsondergang cruise. Dagcruises (cruise shippers) gaan meestal op de grotere CATS. Bovendien gaan we soms ’s ochtends uit en soms voor zonsondergang. Dit is afhankelijk van beschikbaarheid en of het een cruisedag is of niet. Als er die dag alleen dagcruises beschikbaar zijn, meestal wanneer er cruiseschepen op het eiland zijn, deelt u deze met gasten van cruiseschepen. Als het geen cruisedag is, zal het hoogstwaarschijnlijk een zonsondergangzeil zijn. Houd er ook rekening mee dat aangezien de catamaran wordt gedeeld, de vaartijden niet altijd exact zijn. Het kan zijn dat je iets langer moet wachten (in de jachthaven of in de catamaran) om te varen als de Catamaran vertraging heeft om opgehaald te worden (dit gebeurt zelden) of als andere mensen die betaald hebben om in dezelfde Catamaran te zitten iets vertraagd zijn en niet voorbij de cutoff limiet zijn. Daarom vragen wij uw geduld en begrip! Houd er bovendien rekening mee dat we alleen uitvaren als dat mogelijk is. Dit is niet mogelijk op gekke winddagen of slecht weer dagen. Op zulke dagen staat veiligheid centraal en zetten we geen zeilen. Tot slot, als u nodig hebt pick-up voorbij Dixon Cove, zullen we extra in rekening brengen voor pick-up (persoonlijk te betalen).. Daarom kunt u kiezen voor de optie "Ik selecteer mijn ophaallocatie later" en we sturen u een bericht om uw ophaallocatie te bespreken. Houd er rekening mee dat er een extra vergoeding is voor ophalen voorbij Dixon Cove, afhankelijk van waar je opgehaald moet worden. Tot slot zijn er soms geen Catamarantochten beschikbaar op bepaalde dagen wanneer het weer het niet toelaat of het minimum aantal deelnemers niet wordt gehaald. Gelieve met ons te wachten terwijl wij bevestigen of de Cat cruise beschikbaar is voor de door u geselecteerde tourdatum. De kattencruise is echter bijna altijd beschikbaar! Als het niet beschikbaar is, zullen we u vragen om een andere datum aan te bieden of de tour te annuleren en zullen we een 100% terugbetaling verwerken. Houd er rekening mee dat gedeelde CAT op het laatste moment kan worden geannuleerd als het weer slecht is of als het aantal deelnemers op de lijst plotseling onder het minimum aantal deelnemers daalt dat nodig is om te varen. Dit komt vaker voor in het regenseizoen wanneer de omstandigheden niet perfect zijn en een grote groep gasten in één keer annuleert, waardoor de CAT-zeillijst met minder dan het minimum blijft. Begrijp alstublieft dat dit buiten onze controle valt en dat we u 100% zullen terugbetalen als het gebeurt.

This trip was nice the water is beautiful the waves was not too nice I got seasick but the tour it self is worth
Great experience, the crew was awesome. Took excellent care of us. I would highly recommend if visiting Roatan
I booked online and followed up via text to confirm availability and the exact pickup location. The owner initially mentioned that there might not be enough people for the tour and that it could be canceled. I asked about alternative options, but they were very limited. Later, I was reassured that the tour would still happen because the previous day’s trip had been canceled and he was switching to a sunset cruise, which would allow him to accommodate us. However, less than an hour before the scheduled pickup time, the tour was canceled anyway. The weather was perfect, so it’s unclear why the trip didn’t go forward. Save your money and book directly with the same company on the beach or through your hotel for a cheaper and more reliable option
To everyone reading this uncalled for review, I will write this reply to inform everyone who potentially wants to book our CAT cruise of what happened with this guest. The reviewer and her friend booked this SHARED experience on January 15th to sail on January 17th. Immediately after booking I sent her instructions that included the following information: "Just to give you a heads up, we are still trying to meet the minimum number of participants required to sail on Saturday. As of now, the minimum hasn't been met. Is Saturday the only day you can do the activity?" I also told her that worst case scenario she would get a full refund if the minimum wasn't met. That her money was safe. I then proceeded to inform her that we had met the minimum for Monday in case she could sail then or if she wanted to make sure to sail out on Saturday, we had other options. I gave her a Private Cat option, a smaller/shared CAT option that was perfect for her and her friend, a private, smaller charter option and a fishing tour option. However, she said that if Saturday wasn't possible with the original CAT option, she would just take the refund. I told her that we were going to keep her informed if we met the minimum. As tour operators, not the owners of Catamarans, we work along with other operators to meet the minimum number of participants to have the CAT sail. During rainy days like the ones we have been experiencing between January 7th-to date (Jan 18), many people cancel last minute which puts shared experiences like a Catamaran sail at risk of cancellation. A CAT owner will not sail with 3 people, it's simply not economically feasible to sail. Moreover, Friday, the day before her tour, the minimum number of participants required to sail had not been met yet and I informed her that it didn't look promising. Moments later, I got news from the CAT provider who informed me that their CAT sail for the day got cancelled due to weather and that they were moving everyone to the next day, Saturday, and that they were going to sail after all. I then happily informed the guest that the sail was going to happen after all and that it was going to be a sunset sail (since there were no cruise ships on the island and on days without cruise ships, we do sunset sails. Morning sails meet the minimum required to sail usually only when there are cruise ships on the island). She then said "I thought we had booked a daytime trip". In this moment, I knew she was a problem guest. I have decades of experience dealing with customers and identifying types of guests and at that moment I knew she was a high maintenance. The reviewer is clearly a person who doesn't read instructions, descriptions or even cares. Evidently, just because she wanted to do it in the morning, she asked me rhetorically that she had booked for the morning, when, had she read the description for the tour, she would know that sometimes we sail in the morning and sometimes for sunset, depending on availability. The tour's description clearly says " sometimes we go out in the morning and sometimes for sunset." Anyways, I proceeded to keep her informed as best as I could and told her the tour time was based on availability, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. She then said “So is this the same trip we booked for with the same stops” When she said this I actually had a feeling that I should just refund her, but silly me wanted to help her sail so I still tried my best to help her. I proceeded to send her screen shots of the tour description and the inclusions so she would confirm reading them and understand that it was the same tour, just a different time than what “she” wanted it to be. I also told her that it wasn't multiple “stops” like she was assuming it to be, it was just “1 snorkel stop”. The inclusions of the tour clearly state that. Seeing this back and forth, I thought I should offer her different options so as to avoid any problems arising from a last minute cancellation. I knew that she was the kind of person that if things didn’t happen her way, she was going to give us a bad review. But she wanted to either do the original tour or get a refund. So we proceeded with the reservation. Last thing I told her on Friday before her tour date (Saturday) was “In case anything changes please be sure to check our messages up to 1hr before board time”. I said this because the weather was not the best and in case it got cancelled for any given reason. Unfortunately, the CAT provider called me 1 hour before the CAT tour to inform me that a group of 12 (who were all together) and was coming on board had just cancelled because the ocean was moving a little (Definitely not perfect like the reviewer mentions) and they were not interested in doing the sail in those conditions. At that moment, it was just the reviewer, her friend and two others from a different operator who were on the list for the CAT sail. So, the provider cancelled on me. I regretfully had to cancel the guest’s reservation and as I immediately informed her, I went ahead and applied a full refund for her booking. So, not sure why she says "Save your money" as if we didn't immediately give her a refund. Her words after the cancellation and full refund were “Thanks for letting us know an hour before sailing “. Now, here’s the thing. To all of our potential guests, this is a SHARED experience. If you want to guarantee your sail, book a PRIVATE SAIL. It’s more expensive, but you don’t choose to rely on others to sail. This product relies on meeting the minimum number of participants required to sail. If the minimum is not met it will not sail. If a significant number of people who are on the list of a confirmed sail decide to cancel last minute and the number falls under the minimum number required to sail, it will not sail. This rarely happens, but unfortunately, there is always a chance. Unfortunately for us, it happened with a KAREN this time. To be honest, most people understand things don’t always go as planned and are nice about it, as long as they get a full refund for a tour that didn’t happen and it’s nobody’s fault, they are happy to find something else to do. There is plenty to do on this island. Please don’t book a shared experience or something that is weather dependent, and then just because it gets cancelled, trash the small business who is doing their best to serve you. Not everything and not all the time, will things go as planned. When you travel, you should understand this and realize you need to be more open and tolerant to things going sideways. Also, please read the full description, inclusions and instructions for each tour that you book. Sometimes, the answers to your questions are all there! Don’t be a KAREN. Karens are not welcome in Roatan.

Highly recommend this tour if you like being on the water, snorkeling, followed by rum drinks! The snorkeling was great - lots & lots of fish to see. The guides stayed with us to make sure everyone was safe. Drinks & food were excellent (although they did run out of most of the lunch items before all had gone through the line - & they were serving it - it was not buffet. They prob should increase quantity by 10%.) The best part about it was RTGA - & the guide who picked us up at the port & transported us to/from the boat..Jayson. They took very good care of us & Jayson gave us lots of history and information. He even gave us an extra stop during the return at a wonderful small shopping area full of local vendors. Great experience overall!
Despite the crummy weather with a bit of light rain, this catamaran tour turned out to be a wonderful experience. The snorkeling was surprisingly good, with clear water and plenty of marine life to enjoy. One of the highlights was the freshly caught fish, grilled right on the boat—it doesn’t get more authentic or delicious than that! The guides were friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a great time, rain or shine. Their easygoing attitude and local knowledge added to the fun atmosphere. Overall, it was a memorable day on the water and a fantastic way to experience Roatan.
Unfortunately this experience was canceled due to weather and ocean quality but the agency sent Jayson to us to go to Las palmas beach and it was awesome. Jayson stayed w us all day took us to see the monkeys and sloths and was just great to be around. Showed us the island and also got us some island experiences! Would definitely use them again!
The cruise was enjoyable despite the unpredictable weather! The drinks, food, staff, and snorkeling deserve 5 stars with Jolly Roger Roatan
Fun and adventure. Very helpful employees. Worth the price and then some . Definitely a great vacation choice
This trip was amazing!! We booked the catamaran for 11 adults, 1 teen—sunset cruise 4 hours. Communication and booking with Danny was seamless (via WhatsApp). He was easygoing and responded to all my questions quickly. He arranged our transportation from our house rental to the port. Gomez and Darbe picked us up and were very kind and knowledgeable about the island. The boat crew (Captain Kerry, Ronny and Daniel) were awesome and accommodating. They took us to 2 different snorkeling locations. Both had a lot to see—lobsters, many beautiful fish, crabs, conch, etc. Also, got a tour of French Key, tons of interesting sites. Ronny bartended and had lots of choices for drinks (alcoholic and non), as well as tasty snacks—charcuterie, homemade pico, fresh fruit, chips/snacks. All locals, the crew had a lot of interesting information about the island and were a pleasure to spend time with. Everyone in our group said this was their favorite part of the trip! Thanks again team!!
Had a wonderful time with our family, Kelsey and his crew were great and showed us awesome hospitality! Couldn’t recommend doing this trip enough would definitely do it again!
