We couldn’t have been happier with our catamaran excursion! The entire crew from Captain Matt, Alex, Chris and Chena were so friendly and welcoming. The snorkeling was amazing and the food was delicious. We had a party of 11 including teens and kids and we all had an incredible time - if you have a chance to visit Roatan you must book with them.

Amazing trip, amazing staff/crew, wonderful food and customer service off the charts. We arrived and the weather was a big concern, Captain Matt and crew, carefully eased the ship through a mine field of large waves to a protected cove. We snorkeled under the careful watch of the guides saw fish, lobsters and all sorts of beautiful coral and plant life. It was fun and the crew made the trip much better. They shared so many things about the area, its was really a GREAT Trip!

For the second time, We joined Captain Matt and his team (Feb 2023) for snorkeling and beautiful blue waters. He has a beautiful catamaran that can easily hold 12-15 but it was just 6 of us. We were picked up at the cruise port and driven to the other side of the island.
We learned about history, the area and had amazing food and beverage. We were served muffins and breakfast beers. 😀to start. Then freshly made pina coladas after snorkeling. Lunch was a 6 course meal including grilled kebabs and carrot cake. Highly recommend them for ease of booking, trip experience and great crew.

Had an amazing day snorkeling on the catamaran with the crew from Radical Adventures. Cpt Matt was great and communicated with me with ease before we got there. We had a group of 20 with us ranging from 3 years old to grandparents. Everyone had a blast! I knew they said they were going to feed us but I really wasn’t expecting half of what we were given! From the muffins right when we got there, to the snacks in between snorkels, then the pizza bites, THEN the entrees (of delicious grilled chicken, rice and beans, cole slaw, plantains and homemade rolls) and then to finish with desserts…it was truly a great experience. I believe the woman cooking all the amazing food was named Chena and the guy serving us all our Pina Colada’s was Christopher - they truly made the trip extra special. The water was really rough due to some wind during our whole trip to Roatan so we were a little nervous about snorkeling but Cpt Matt and the crew took us to 3 amazingly secluded, calm and beautiful snorkeling spots!! Trust this crew, they know what they’re doing and they will make your trip one you’ll never forget!

Absolutely the best excursion in Roatan. Captain Matt, Tie Tie and Chena are amazing. We have gone on this excursion twice and are will certainly go again when we return. They are all extremely friendly and very informative about Roatan Island life. Chena is an amazing cook and always had something ready for us to eat. The drinks kept coming as well. We went to 3 snorkeling places and one of the crew went out with us and pointed out all the interesting sea life.

We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Matt and the whole crew. The Snorkelling spots were amazing with lots to see and no one else around. The food was maybe the best part, from the time we boarded until we left we were treated with fresh baking, snacks and a great lunch.

This was our FAVORITE day on the island. The crew of this boat made the trip-the food, the conversation, and the great snorkel spots. The boat is amazing-lots of shade and lots of room. I highly recommend this excursion with this crew.

An awesome day on the water. This is the best way to see and experience the east end of the island. Absolutely beautiful. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly, catering to your every need and wishes. The snorkeling was very enjoyable, including a wreck dive. The food was fantastic, and the crew were knowledgeable and provided us with the history of the area. I highly recommend this adventure for anyone that visits Roatan. The trip has something for everyone.

Unbelievable experience. The highlight of our 2 week trip for sure. Captain Matt and crew run a great operation. Great service, snorkelling and food. They are all so knowledgeable of the fascinating history of the island - be sure to ask loads of questions! The east side of the island is beautiful. Highly recommend!!

We were lucky to find Cap't Matt's Radical Catamaran on the web. We had a group of 10 and half wanted to dive and the other half wanted to snorkel. No problem, Cap't Matt set up a dive boat to meet up with "Free Radical". Talk about amazing. I'm a new diver and Leif Shaver with Dive Port Royal made sure I was totally safe and secure. The reef and clarity was so amazing. The snorkelers had a blast while our group dove. We all finished in time for an amazing lunch and then back in the water. The staff was just amazing. Very attentive and made sure we had fun. I'm already planning a trip in order to dive more and see more of the island. I just can't brag about this experience enough!!!!

Hi, do you have availability on 10/11/18 for a private excursion. We’re a group of 4 wanting to spend a day on the water and beach, snorkel and have it all as private as possible. If available, what is the cost?

At this time we are available on Oct 11th. Are you arriving to the island on a cruise ship or are you staying on the island? It would be easier to answer your questions if you use the Contact Us link on our website or send us an e-mail.

Do you have tours of Pigeon Cay?
CptMatt-Free_Radical
Roatan, Honduras3 contributions
I am sorry, but we no longer promise Pigeon Cays as a destination.
We are a fast catamaran, but still pretty slow compared to any power boat. It takes us a couple of hours each way to get there.
The best way to get to Pigeon cays is for you to check the weather yourself.
Windfinder website is the most accurate for this area.
Pick a day with wind less than 10 knots.
Then find a service that provides a fast power boat to get you out there and back. There are lots of people with small boats going out there these days.
OK! Hope that helps! Any other questions about our day trips to Port Royal, or about Roatan in general, just ask!

We will have two little ones just shy of two years old. Is this something they would enjoy?
CptMatt-Free_Radical

Yes they would.
Is there a minimum age limit for this activity? I am traveling with a 3 year old.

There is not a minimum age. It makes it more fun if the child can swim so they can go snorkeling with everyone else.

Our catamaran is large – 48’ long by 27’ wide. We can have 35 or more on board with nobody feeling crowded. However, we only do groups this large is it is, say, a family reunion, group of friends or a wedding. It is not our policy to load on a bunch of people just to make more money. (More fun for us, and for the guests too!). Our usual group size is 8-18.

How hard is it to get out of the water into the boat. Is there a platform, or just a ladder? Bad back, can't climb up a ladder anymore (sucks getting old).

There is a strong and stable swim ladder to help you re-board the boat from the water. It is very similar in size and shape to a ladder coming out of a swimming pool deep end.
