View The Cruise Ship Excursion

We booked with Amavi Charters for our stop in Roatan during our cruise. Everything went very smoothly with pick-up and transportation to the dock. The owners met us at the dock and gave us an overview of the boat, then we were off. The crew is fun and friendly and they kept bringing amazing food and drinks! They arranged everything including transportation back to the cruise port with plenty of time remaining. If you want an amazing, worry-free day, I highly recommend them!!!!

We recently had an outing with Amavi Charters in Roatan. From start to finish, everything was top notch. To break away from the chaos of the cruise ship and enjoy the warm waters of the Caribbean was a treat for us all. Swimming, snorkeling or simply relaxing- Amavi had us covered. The food and drinks were excellent and the service impeccable. Everyone in our group agreed that the outing with Amavi was the highlight of our 7 night cruise.

We recently joined the Amavi crew for a day on the water, as our cruise ship was scheduled to stop in Roatan. From our first communication to arriving back to the port right on schedule, everything was handled perfectly. We spent the day swimming, snorkeling, eating, singing, and just enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. I can’t think of a single complaint, other than not being able to spend more time on Roatan with these wonderful people. We will not hesitate to book with Amavi again upon our return.

We had the best day with Amavi charters! My family and I were in Roatan for just one day on a cruise and decided that chartering a catamaran would be fun. They picked us up directly from the port and after a short drive we were out on the water. The boat was beautiful and we were spoiled with delicious food, endless cocktails, and amazingly clear water all day long. We spent the majority of the day swimming and snorkeling and it ended up being the highlight of our trip! The team that works for Amavi is so friendly and fun and really cares about making your experience a great one. Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing adventure! This was the best day of our week long cruise. They picked us up at the cruise terminal. We hung out on the catamaran all day, did 2 amazing snorkeling trips. The crew catered to us, we felt famous, snacks, drinks, lunch. You get what you pay for. You can enjoy a private tour with 6-10 people or you can go on a cruise ship excursion with 50 random people!

Hands down, without a doubt one of the best experiences ever! Entire crew was exceptional: from initial inquiry, to booking and then pickup at the port - I knew it was going to be amazing! Catamaran was clean, food and drinks were so yummy, nice conversations from beginning to end. Snorkeling, swimming and jumps off the top for added fun!! We can’t wait to book again!!!!!

We were on a cruise that stopped in Roatan for the day. We were a group of 12 and decided a private charter was the way to go. From the time we boarded until the time we left, we didn’t have to lift a finger. Delicious rum punch, vodka cocktails, and plenty of juices and sodas for the teens. Stopped at a few absolutely gorgeous snorkeling areas where they took us on a guided snorkel tour. The lunch of grilled fish, BBQ chicken, salad, fruit, and yummy Thai noodles was so so so good.

While the catamaran, the food, the snorkeling, and the drinks were great, the absolute best part was the crew. They were beyond welcoming, talked with us, laughed with us, and even had fun with us. For all these reasons, we booked again for same time next year! Excited to do it again!
