If you’re planning a fly fishing trip to Roatan, the first question is usually the most practical one: what’s it going to cost? The honest answer is that Roatan is one of the best-value flats fisheries in the Caribbean — you get world-class bonefish, permit, and tarpon water without the premium price tag of better-known destinations. Here’s exactly what you’ll pay and what’s included, so there are no surprises.
Roatan fly fishing rates at a glance
At Roatan On The Fly, our guided trips are priced per boat, based on two anglers:
- Half-day trip — $550
- Full-day trip — $650
Both options are fully all-inclusive, and the price is the same whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler. For most visitors, the full day is the better value — for an extra $100 you nearly double your time on the water and your shots at fish.
What’s included in the price
This is where Roatan On The Fly stands apart. Our trips are genuinely all-inclusive, so the rate you see covers everything you need for a day on the flats:
- Expert guiding with Captain Perry, who has over 28 years of experience on these waters
- Quality fly fishing gear — rods, reels, and flies if you don’t want to travel with your own
- All fishing licenses and fees
- Private transportation to and from the fishing grounds
In short, once you’ve booked, you don’t need to budget for hidden add-ons. You show up, fish, and we handle the rest.
Half-day vs. full-day: which should you choose?
A half-day is a great fit if you’re short on time, traveling with non-fishing companions, or visiting on a cruise. You’ll still get quality shots at bonefish and the chance at a permit.
A full-day is what we recommend for most dedicated anglers. Tides and wind change through the day, and more time on the water means more opportunities — especially if you’re chasing a bucket-list permit or tarpon, which often require patience and the right window. Many of our guests who book a half-day end up wishing they’d booked the full day.
Multi-day trips
If Roatan is the centerpiece of your trip, consider fishing multiple days. Conditions shift day to day, and anglers who fish two or more days dramatically improve their odds at all three flagship species. We’re happy to put together a custom multi-day package — just reach out through our contact page and we’ll tailor it to your schedule.
Coming in on a cruise?
Roatan is a popular cruise port, and we offer customized day trips built around your ship’s schedule. We arrange transportation from the cruise terminal, provide all the gear, and make sure you’re back on board in time for departure. It’s one of the most memorable excursions you can do on the island — and far more rewarding than a crowded bus tour. Learn more on our pricing page.
How Roatan compares
Guided flats trips in better-known Caribbean and Bahamian destinations frequently run $700–$900+ per day, often before gear, licenses, and transfers are added on. Roatan delivers the same shot at a permit grand slam — bonefish, permit, and tarpon — at a lower all-in price, with uncrowded flats and a genuinely personal experience. For anglers who want world-class fishing without the world-class price, it’s hard to beat.
What about non-fishing companions?
Traveling with a partner or family who don’t fish? We can help arrange snorkeling, diving, yacht trips, and island tours so everyone has a great day. Just ask when you book.
