| The Official Web Site of Utila, The Bay Islands, Honduras | |
Captain Rusty has been operating his Sailboat Tours & Charters out of Utila harbor for over 10 years. Travel with him on his 40ft motor sailboat "Brazen" to those out-of-the-way locations around the Bay Islands of Honduras that other tourists just don't get to see. With over 20 years experience in providing private charters and sailboat tours around the Islands, Captain Rusty can take you to the most picturesque locations and those "hidden" bays and islets that are scattered around the islands and cays. For the more adventurous, Rusty can take you ashore to visit Garifuna villages, where he is well known by the locals, or take a hike through the jungle on rarely traveled trails encountering local plant and wildlife.
The "Brazen" has 2 private cabins for passengers (4 passengers maximum) and Captain Rusty is an expert chef who can provide you with mouth-watering meals of freshly caught fish and local produce. The boat is equipped for big game and deep water fishing and Captain Rusty can take you to his favorite secluded fishing spots where you can be guaranteed to catch that perfect fish.
Scuba Divers - bring your scuba gear and we can visit fantastic dive sites off the beaten track that are not visited by the Dive Shop Operators. We can stop in at a local Dive Shop for tank re-fills and any gear hire you may need, before heading out.
If you want to experience the real Caribbean, sail to isolated tropical islands, or fish and snorkel in pristine waters away from other tourists, then
THIS IS THE TOUR FOR YOU!

Yves Marguet - Paris France - May 2008
Nous avons passe 2 nuits et 3 jours absolument merveilleux sur le bateau de Captain Rusty et avons pu découvrir avec lui et son "équipage" des choses que nous n'aurions jamais pu voir autrement : Bien sur, les fonds sous marins des cayos, la végétation et la faune de l'ile grâce a ses relations avec les gardes du parc naturel, l’instituteur de la très belle école primaire de la communauté Garifunas. Et encore la peche au Barracuda! Inutile d'essayer de comprendre l'accent de Captain Rusty, il vient du Delaware! de toute facon il ne parle pas beaucoup mais est tres preoccupe de votre confort et de votre nourriture. Qu'elle était bonne cette bière au resort des Cayos apres une bonne douche. Merci Rusty

Like Victoria Bexley (see below), Elena and her boyfriend Keith chartered
Rusty's Sailboat Tours & Charters for a return trip from Utila to Cayos
Cochinos. I (AboutUtila.com Webmaster) am guessing they were on the same
trip as Victoria because they also caught a 50lb Wahoo and enjoyed the
dolphins swimming alongside the boat. (read

Victoria had a great vacation learning scuba diving with
Gunter's
Eco-Marine Dive Center, but the highlight of the vacation was a Sailboat
Charter with
Rusty's Sailboat Tours & Charters from Utila to Cayos Cochinos and back
where she enjoyed the pristine tropical waters, the clear night sky's and
catching a 3-4ft Wahoo. (read

Emma Shaw - Sailboat Charter Tour around the Bay Islands - August 2007
Dr Emma Shaw from Manchester Metropolitan University UK, has spent two months traveling around Central America. The highlight of this vacation was the Sailboat Charter Tour she took from Utila to Cayos Cochinos and back with Rusty's Sailboat Tours & Charters. This inexpensive charter ($US 200.00 per person) was a 2 night, 3 day sailing adventure from Utila to Cayos Cochinos (Hog Islands) visiting some of the remote parts of the Bay Islands that are relatively inaccessible to all but the most determined tourist. Emma enjoyed the un-spoilt coral reefs and was amazed by sheer diversity and beauty of the area. (read the full review)
