Services & Supplies
Turtlegrass
Is located in Calabash Bight, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras, C.A. We currently
have four slips at our present dock to accommodate three boats
of up to 48 foot length and 9 foot draft and a 46' catamaran (30'
wide) in a well protected
hurricane hole. There is individually metered 30 amp shore power and RO Water fills. We presently offer WiFi and can procure clean diesel at
a competitive price, delivered to our dock and also import required repair
parts and items duty free. This duty free service is a privilege
given to us by the Honduran Government under the new Zolitur (Duty Free
Trade Zone or "Zona Libre") since the Honduras has no
"Yacht In Transit" guidelines this alone can save you large
expenditures on Duty fees. We also offer systems service and bottom cleaning
for our customers. We strive to be the best service and supplier of
cruising-related services providing outstanding value to every customer.
For a small "Mini Marina" in the center of the Western Caribbean cruising
grounds, we hope to be the best. Contact us for more information and up to

Following Information for
Calabash Bight entry:
Calabash Bight is located
on the East end of Roatan. It extends 1.5 miles inland and is a quiet peaceful
spot, not a "West End" by any means. There is a new Red Entrance
marker buoy privately maintained as most here are then there is also a
white buoy marking another reef cut inside of the bight itself. This Bight
provides good weather protection in Northers that roll through during the
winter/spring months. You can dinghy from Calabash Bight through mangrove
channels to Fiddlers Bight and Pandy Town into Oak Ridge and also
Jonesville/Hole In The Wall locations. All this without going outside the
reef. Use the following GPS co-ordinates but please note that good light
is still recommended for entry:
16 23.430 N 86 20.066 W
Approach Outside (initial)
16 23.521 N 86 20.131 W
Approx Red marker buoy (leave to starboard)
Lay a course of 320 Deg.
Mag. and you will spot the next marker (white) and stay in good water on
this course.
16 23.743 N 86 20.295 W
Approx next to white inner buoy (also leave to starboard, this marks a cut
through a coral patch and is about a 60 foot wide channel 10 to 12 feet
deep)
16 23.893 N 86 20.374 W One
of the anchorage spots. Once inside you can anchor in several locations up
and down the bight by eyeball navigation as water is clear enough to see
bottom in shoal areas.
Turtlegrass: 16.24.02
N 86.20.22 W Look for the point on the West side that is half way up
in the bight.
