Our 30ft center console ‘Kelpie‘ was designed and built on Roatan, in 2023, by renowned boat builder Martinez Powerboats. The hull, generous beam, smooth ride and clean lines have become the standard for modern dive and excursion boats on Roatan for the past 10 years. This was our second go at customizing an interior for this model and we are excited to have a unique, hybrid, layout for all your Roatan adventures.
Kelpie comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests and comes fully loaded for any activity. We provide pick up and drop off at your rental or hotel dock, collect & meet you at the Gibson Bight marina or simply on the beach in West Bay or West End.

Positive vibes!
Weather, yes, it’s not always picture perfect here in the Caribbean, so having some flexibility with your planning will enhance your day trips with us. Safety is our number one priority (you having an awesome time is a close second) therefore, if conditions are not favorable we will offer an alternate day, itinerary or a full refund. We are NOT in this business to take you regardless of weather and sea conditions, we want to be safe and have fun too!
Making a reservation –
Refundable deposits are required to book all excursions. Once a deposit is received we send you a confirmation email and your reservation is secured.
If we have to cancel a trip due to weather we provide a full refund or the option to change date or itinerary. If you cancel your trip 48 hours or less from your trip departure time we do not refund your deposit.
Contact us for costs, availability and any other questions you might have, we’d be delighted to hear from you!
