Set against the unspoiled coastline of Roatan’s eastern municipality, the Santos Guardiola Fishing Tournament is quickly becoming one of the most exciting events for anglers in the Bay Islands. Scheduled from October 31 to November 2, 2025, this tournament invites fishermen from across the region and beyond to test their skills in some of the most pristine waters in the Caribbean.
While Roatan has long been known for its world-class diving and marine beauty, this tournament puts the spotlight on sportfishing in Santos Guardiola, a lesser-known gem brimming with biodiversity and deep-sea fishing potential. Whether you're a seasoned angler or simply enjoy the thrill of the open water, this tournament promises an experience that blends competitive excitement with the relaxed, community-driven atmosphere the East End is famous for.
A Weekend of Adventure, Community, and Competition
Participants can expect more than just a fishing competition. The Santos Guardiola Fishing Tournament is an opportunity to enjoy days full of camaraderie, breathtaking scenery, and the warm hospitality of local residents. During the tournament, fishermen will head out early each morning in search of the biggest catch, returning with stories, excitement, and—hopefully—a prize-winning fish.
The event will offer exciting cash prizes and trophies for the best catches in different categories. More than a contest, it’s a celebration of marine life and fishing culture on the island, accompanied by good music, local food, and the unmistakable charm of the community.
Building a Local Legacy
This tournament is more than just sport—it’s a chance to highlight the potential of Santos Guardiola as a fishing destination. With much of the development on Roatan focused on the western part of the island, this event provides a platform for showcasing the natural wealth, talent, and community spirit of the East End.
It’s also an opportunity to engage with sustainable fishing practices and ensure that future generations can enjoy the bounty of the sea. As more visitors discover the region through events like this, local leaders are hopeful that Santos Guardiola will gain well-deserved recognition and investment in eco-friendly tourism and marine conservation.
