Barefoot Cay -- a boutique resort & marina

Veer off to the side to head down the wood dock to the palapa, where hammocks sway in the breeze.

If your passage has been really strenuous, you may need to head to a spa room for a massage, followed by a few pina coladas up on the observation deck above the restaurant.

Barefoot Spa

The marina itself has 780 linear feet of dock space, accommodating vessels up to 165 feet with up to a 10 foot draft.

 There are concrete docks with stout cleats for side-tying, as well as some additional wooden docks. 120V 30 A and 240V 50A service is available, as well as purified water.

Fueling can be arranged direct to your boat, and the marina will call an agent to take care of clearing you through customs.

Cruisers welcome at Barefoot Cay Marina

Bathrooms with hot water showers are just next to the pool. Complimentary wireless is available, and if you haven’t brought along a computer, there’s one for guest use in the office, as well as an extensive DVD library.

Incredible dive sites just minutes from shore

There’s a full service PADI 5 star IDC dive center, Barefoot Divers, which offers instruction and guided dives for certified divers, located just on the other side of the 75’ channel from the cay.

Relax!

And if you’d like to have a few nights of sleep on terra firma, the resort has beautiful luxury beachfront bungalows and villas as well as Oceanview lofts.

Poolside dining

If you need to stock up on some provisions, there are several grocery stores on the island. The one with the best selection is located in French Harbour, just a few minutes east of the marina. If your boat needs repairs or maintenance, speak with Santos, the general manager at the marina. He can recommend workers and direct you to marina supply stores.

Full service marina can accomodate boats up to 165 ft in length

Though it’s tempting to spend all of your time at the little paradise of Barefoot Cay, there are lots of things to see and do around Roatan, so it’s worthwhile venturing out to explore. The resort has a couple vehicles to rent out to guests, or taxis are relatively inexpensive and pass by frequently.

Loft studio bedroom

Barefoot Cay is located about mid-way along the island, just off the south shore. The guest service staff can provide you with a map of Roatan, as well as a listing of activities around the island, and can assist with making arrangements for you.

Beautiful diving locations

Swimming with dolphins, ziplining, going up in a seaplane, exploring the depths of the ocean in a submarine, or playing with the monkeys and parrots are just a few of the many options in Roatan.

The coral reef surrounding Roatan is part of the second largest barrier reef system in the world, and has been a major attraction to divers for years.

Barefoot Cay Resort

Roatan has an international airport, with direct flights from Houston, Newark, Atlanta, Miami, San Salvador, and Toronto, as well as domestic flights from the mainland of Honduras.

Swimming pool

If you have friends and family coming to meet you, Roatan makes a great rendezvous point. Or it you need to return to the States for a few weeks, the marina has monthly rates and 24 hour security. The marina is well protected from any weather systems moving through.
