Roatan Aggressor

The Bay Islands of Honduras are home to large marine life, such as whale sharks, Caribbean reef sharks and bottlenose dolphins. The region is also world-renowned for its wall diving, spectacular wrecks, beautiful shallow reefs, and sea mounts rarely explored by divers. The Roatan Aggressor runs weekly liveaboard cruises here to the very best sites, including Roatan and Utila. Honduras has been an Aggressor destination since 1989, so the liveaboard operator knows the area very well.

The Roatan Aggressor is a large and powerful steel hull yacht at 120 ft (36m) long. 18 guests can be accommodated in comfort and privacy onboard the Roatan Aggressor. All staterooms are air-conditioned and fitted with private bathrooms, showers and hairdryers. Linens are changed midweek and fresh towels are placed in each stateroom as needed. There are 6 boat crew to attend to guest needs.

A cooked-to-order breakfast starts each day, then buffet lunch and an elegant waiter-served dinner, in addition to fresh mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks. Beverages are complimentary while onboard. There is an exciting and varied weekly menu, featuring dishes from around the world. These include salads, soups, main courses of fish, seafood, beef or chicken, fresh bread, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and a selection of desserts. As with most Aggressor cruises, the final night is spent at harbor and dinner is taken at Romeo’s Restaurant after an onboard cocktail party.

The spacious air-conditioned saloon features a dining area and a comfy lounge area with TV, and computer station. The upper deck has a large social area with lounge-style seating, deck chairs, shaded wet bar and grill, stereo system and hot tub. Other features include a complete photo center with digital video and still-photo editing, a satellite phone, an onboard boutique, and a safe to store any guest valuables. Evening entertainment includes diving and fish identification presentations, movies, games and more. There is a small library of books for exchange, as well as fish ID books for reference. A souvenir CD of your cruise will be available.

Up to 5 dives per day are done from the mothership. The stern and platform area are very spacious and the dive deck features individual dive lockers, rinse tanks and a large camera table with low pressure air hoses, and a membrane nitrox system. The boarding ladders were designed for convenience to allow easy entries and exits. Enjoy hot fresh water showers after your dive and dry off with a warm towel.
