My husband and I just returned from a week- long sailing trip with City Dogs… and all I can say is it exceeded all expectations! From our arrival until the moment we left, we truly felt Captain Andrea and First Mate Steve were dedicated to giving us a great experience. Captain Andrea watched conditions closely and was able to offer suggestions for the best sails. Both Andrea and Steve are very knowledgeable about the reefs and the marine life; this made the amazing snorkeling spots we visited even better! One of the highlights for me was a beautiful sail to Cayos Cochinos, a beautiful marine preserve with some of the best snorkeling we have ever had. We spent the night, and were even able to see amazing bioluminescence right from the boat. We both enjoy delicious food and the “local vibe”, so they took us to just the right places for that unique experience that we were looking for. And speaking of food… we also enjoyed quite a few meals aboard, from full breakfasts, fantastic sandwiches, hearty dinners and Steve’s delicious rum punch (you must try!). And of course, the added bonus of the four-legged crew, Mischa and Fozzie Bear. If you want a one of kind trip you will never forget, I fully recommend City Dogs Sailing. We are already talking about our next trip!

Communications: Andrea is extremely conscientious about returning emails promptly and taking care of the little details. My son has a peanut allergy, so she made sure not to serve any peanut products.
Cleanliness: The boat itself is spotless. My wife commented that the bathroom was the cleanest one she's ever seen on a boat.
Taxi: It's best to prearrange through Andrea. Humor met us outside of the gates right where Andrea said he would be with a sign that had my name on it. Humor is a local, born and raised on the island. One piece of advice---follow Andrea's directions and walk all the way outside the cruise terminal. There is a line of taxis when you first get out, but you need to keep going to right down a path to a gate where a security guard will let you out onto the main street. That's where we met Humor.
The Sailing: The trip was very peaceful and relaxing. Andrea and Steve make a great team. She sails and he does everything else! The food is delicious and, as others have commented, Steve makes a mean rum punch. Andrea took us to what was pretty much a secluded snorkeling environment. There wasn't another boat or person in sight. This is a much, much better way to have a snorkeling adventure than through the cruise line.
Verdict: If you're cruising to Roatan or simply staying on the island, you should definitely book Andrea for a fabulous day on the water.

We love to be on the water and especially sailboats, so looked for a sailing option in Roatan. So happy that google found City Dogs Sailing for us!!! We booked before we arrived in Roatan and along the way Andrea responded to my emails in a more than timely manner :) We have in fact just arrived in the door from our sail and felt it important that we get the review out to the world! We felt right at home on the boat and enjoyed getting to know Andrea, Steve & the dogs, Food was terrific, snorkeling was great and the sail itself was the perfect way to relax and unwind. We would highly recommend sailing with Andrea & Steve and are considering doing it one more time before we leave the island.

I had the privilege of having Steve be my instructor for open water diving certification. He was patient, knowledgeable, and competent. I learned so much more than I expected from his experiences and good humor. I plan on going back to him for the next level of certification and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to dive.

We have just returned from our second trip with City Dogs Sailing. After our great experience last year, we left our itinerary in their hands based on weather, seas, etc., with only two requests... great snorkeling and relaxation. And boy, did they they deliver!!! Based on the unusually calm conditions, Captain Andrea reached out and said if we wanted, we could actually make the journey over to the beautiful bay island of Guanaja, so we said sure! So glad we did.. after a day sail over, accompanied by a pod of a least twenty dolphins off the bow,( wow!!) we arrived at our first anchorage in El Bite. Here we spent a day & 1/2 with two amazing snorkeling spots. We then set out for a half day sail around to Michael's Rock, to the most beautiful little spot imaginable. Here we spent the next three days, just a short swim to a beautiful little white beach, and reefs with the best snorkeling I've ever done. I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium!! By my second day snorkeling thanks to their knowledge and guidance pointing things out, I was so excited at how many more magnificent creatures I could spot! At night, the starts were better than any planetarium. Knowing we'd mostly be on board, Caption Andrea and First Mate Steve spoiled us with delicious meals including fresh local fish and steak, and of course snacks galore and Steve's "Yummy Rummies". The adorable snuggles from Mischa the Klee- Kai and Fozzie Bear the Schnoodle were an extra bonus . We absolutely can't wait to see what next year's adventure will bring.. thank you City Dogs!!

We had such a great time with Andrea, Steve, Mischa, and Fozzie Bear! Andrea responded to our emails so quickly, and was able to work around our availability to squeeze us in for a sunset sail, even coordinating transportation for us. She & Steve were wonderful, and made our evening so enjoyable. By the end we felt like we had known them for years! And of course, you can't beat the snuggles from their two wonderful pups. :)
Would definitely recommend City Dogs and Andrea & Steve! Such a great experience!

We had a wonderful time with City Dogs Sailing - it was one of the high-lights of our trip! We all loved the spending the day in the sun with the dogs. We had some great snorkeling around a horseshoe reef with Steve and Andrea and their two dogs. They provided everything we could have needed, the lunch and drinks and banana bread were all delicious. We would definitely recommend taking a sailing and snorkeling day with City Dogs!

This is my second adventure with City Dogs Sailing in Roatan, and it was just as wonderful as the first: Andrea and Steve have the talent, experience and local knowledge to ensure that our stay was engaging and relaxing and pretty much the best experience we could hope for! I particularly love the flexibility they provide to make the most of Roatan and the turquoise Caribbean waters: the decision to sail North to Port Royal on a beautiful day and to anchor by the deserted horseshoe atoll to snorkel (all necessary equipment is already on the boat) was amazing - the reef quality in Roatan is high, and there is so much to see underwater!
The boat handles beautifully and has great comfort and safety amenities with nothing lacking. There is plenty of shade if you need it. The two dogs are super friendly and make the experience special: Fozzie Bear always lets you know when dolphins are in sight so that you don't miss them!!
After several years living on the Island, Andrea and Steve know all the best nooks and crannies of the coast and Roatan's neighboring islands, and can offer a diverse and tailored trip - I really hope to come back soon for a trip to Cayos Cochinos!

We have been to Roatan many times and were looking for something different. City Dogs Sailing took us to Port Royal to snorkel and have lunch. I am so happy that we chose them. The experience was amazing. They were flexible with us and watched the forecast so that we could have the best weather possible. Andrea and Steve were very knowledgeable about the island and were able to point out areas of importance. They were very patient and attentive to our 11 year old son. The snorkeling was amazing. We saw sting rays and even a barracuda. The lunch options were amazing. They offered two different options of chicken wraps and a pasta salad that were both so good and the rum punch was delicious. They also made accommodations for my gluten allergy with gluten free pasta and gluten free wrap. Andrea and Steve did a great job of making us feel comfortable the entire half day we were with them. Their two dogs Fozzie Bear and Mischa were the sweetest. They immediately snuggled with our son and also made us feel welcome. we were hoping for a relaxing day and we found it! You will love a charter with Andrea and Steve! We would definitely use them again.

I recently completed my PADI Open Water Certification with City Dogs Sailing and what an amazing experience it was. I did (4) dives over (2) days at sites off the coast of West End. All (4) dive sites were absolutely beautiful with nearly 50 ft. of visibility and what seemed like an endless stretch of the most amazing coral reef/marine life. It was an absolutely magical experience.
The years of local knowledge and scuba experience that Andrea and Steve possess made my first time diving experience one I will never forget.
Thanks, City Dogs Sailing for one of the best times of my life.
