 Deep Sea vs Inshore Fishing: Which Charter Is Right for You?

Deep Sea Fishing: For the Bold and Adventurous Deep sea fishing (also called offshore fishing) takes you mile from shore into waters deeper than 100 meters.

These trips often last longer, require heavier tackle, and offer a safari-like experience on the open ocean.

• Target Species: Marlin, sailfish, Tuna, Mahi-mahi, Wahoo, Barracuda

• Gear: Heavy-duty rods, trolling setups, deep water electronics

• Experience Level: Best for beginners to advanced anglers due to the crew

• Adventure Factor: High—expect long runs, deep water, and epic battles

Inshore Fishing: For Relaxed, Action-Packed Fun Inshore fishing happens within a few miles of the coast, often in bays, estuaries, and mangroves. It’s perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who wants some bites and scenic surroundings. You’ll target species like snapper, barracuda, jacks, and groupers using electric reels.

• Target Species: Snapper, Grouper, Jacks, Barracuda

• Gear: Electric Reel, and, live bait

• Experience Level: Great for beginners and casual anglers

• Adventure Factor: Moderate—shorter trips, calmer waters, quick action

Dos Reyes Roatan Offers Both Whether you crave the adrenaline of offshore battles or the charm of nearshore exploration, Dos Reyes customizes each charter to match your style. Our expert crew ensures every trip is safe, exciting, and unforgettable.

Roatan boasts numerous prime fishing spots, each offering unique opportunities to catch different species. One of the most famous areas is the deep waters off the island’s northern coast. This region is known for its abundance of big game fish, such as marlin and sailfish, making it a top destination for deep-sea fishing enthusiasts. The waters here are also home to large schools of tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi, providing plenty of action for those looking to reel in a trophy catch.

The southern and western shores of Roatan offer excellent inshore fishing opportunities. The extensive reef system in these areas provides a rich habitat for various fish species, including snapper, grouper, and barracuda. The calm, shallow waters make it easier to spot and target fish, and the reef itself is a stunning backdrop for a day on the water. Many inshore fishing charters focus on these areas, taking advantage of the diverse marine life and beautiful scenery.

For fly fishing enthusiasts, the flats and mangroves around Roatan are a must-visit. These areas are teeming with bonefish, permit, and tarpon, making them ideal for practicing and honing fly fishing techniques. The shallow waters and abundant vegetation create a challenging yet rewarding environment for anglers. Fly fishing in these spots offers a more intimate connection with the natural surroundings, as you often find yourself wading through the water or casting from a small skiff.
