Sample Utila Aggressor II Itinerary

Saturday afternoon: Any guests arriving prior to Saturday should make their own way to the Utila Water Sports dock. Boarding time is anytime after 2:00 p.m. At 3:00 p.m., guests are met at the San Pedro Sula Airport and transferred to the Utila charter flight planes for a scenic, 30 minute flight to Utila. Guests arriving on the charter flights from San Pedro Sula are greeted at the Utila Airport and transferred to the yacht.

Saturday evening, the chef will serve a delicious dinner followed by a welcome briefing, which outlines the week’s exciting schedule.

Sunday: Dive briefing! The Captain begins the week with fabulous diving near Blackish Point and Old House. All dives are conveniently made from the swim platform of the mothership. A skiff is available for any shore excursions. Most guests enjoy up to five dives each day—only stopping for one of the many scrumptious meals or between-dive snacks served aboard the mothership. Night dives are offered every evening.

Monday & Tuesday: The journey continues north with a stop at the remote Coco’s Sea Mounts, where the ocean floor rises from hundreds of feet to only 40 feet from the surface. These sea mounts are far from Utila and Roatan, therefore, they are rarely visited by day boat divers. After exploring Coco’s, Utila Aggressor II divers sample Roatan’s southwest and west end sites.

Wednesday & Thursday: After diving Roatan’s Taviana, Dolphin Caves and Wreck of the Aguila, the Aggressor heads west to Utila.

Friday: The final dives of the week are Friday morning at Cannary Bank. After lunch on the Aggressor, it is time to rinse and pack dive gear and download photos. Any onboard charges, such as gear rental, dive courses, boutique purchases, are settled on Friday.

At 1:00 p.m., the boat docks at Utila Water Sports. Later that evening, the crew hosts a 5:30 p.m. cocktail party. The crew will assist you with your dinner reservations and arrange transportation to a local Utila restaurant. The Friday night meal is not included in the charter.

Saturday morning: check-out: At 8:00 a.m., guests are transferred to the Utila Airport for the charter flight to San Pedro Sula.

Itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and yacht location.
