Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Roatan

A local fishing experience to remember! There’s no better way to experience the waters of Roatan than heading offshore with local captain Artley Gentle, a lifelong island fisherman who has spent more than 30 years navigating these Caribbean waters.
Just minutes from West End, your Roatan deep sea fishing charter heads out beyond the reef where the deep blue drops off quickly — one of the reasons Roatan is known for excellent offshore fishing. Lines go in almost immediately, with up to six trolling rods running a mix of artificial lures and live bait to attract fast-moving fish. Common catches in Roatan on our charters are tuna, wahoo, barracuda and mahi-mahi. 

What’s Included

Your private fishing charter includes everything you need for a great day on the water:

  • All fishing gear and bait
  • Up to 4 guests (additional can be added for fee)
  • Water, local beer, and fresh fruit
  • Cleaning and filleting of your catch at the dock

If you’re lucky enough to land a tuna or barracuda, many local restaurants will even cook your catch for dinner.

How's Fishing in Roatan?

Fishing with Captain Artley isn’t just about catching fish — it’s about experiencing Roatan through the eyes of someone who grew up on these waters. Guests often mention how much they enjoy hearing stories about island life while trolling the coastline and watching the mountains of Roatan rise from the sea.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying deep sea fishing for the first time, the trip is relaxed, fun, and hands-on.

What You’ll Catch:

Depending on the season and conditions, anglers regularly hook into species like:

Many guests are surprised how quickly the action starts — often within the first mile offshore.

Fishing Stories

“Went fishing for the day with Artley and company, it was nothing short of an amazing time. Waves were choppy at first but cleared up - caught some tuna and used them as bait to catch a triggerfish! Also picked me up & dropped me off & cleaned up the fish for me. Artley was super friendly and hospitable from start to finish - I would definitely go fishing with him again.!”
“Hartley and Hazel took us out for an afternoon of fishing - they were very responsive via email and worked with us on our needs and timeframe (we were on the island for a dive vacation so we had limited time one afternoon) - they were kind, funny, easy to talk to, very informative about the area and fishing and most of all they wanted us to have a super fun time. And we did!!! We caught some tuna and they cleaned the fish for us at the dock. Amazing time!”

Super fun family activity
“This man was excellent. He had 6 rods going at the same time. Tuna, barracuda and wahoo were on our menu. Fantastic guy and worth every penny”
“Captain Artley was great! He was really cool and patient, even when untangling the lines! My son and I had a great time with him. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a nice 1/2 day fishing trip from West End!”

“Fishing with Artley was so much fun. As a fisherman I recognize someone who knows what they are doing. We caught a bunch of Tuna and Artley fillet them right at the dock for us. His service was so outstanding, we booked him for snorkeling the next day. Which was great as well.”
