Your Safety is Our Priority
The history of the vessels reflects the evolution of high-quality service. The M/V Tropical, the first ferry, carried 115 passengers on a 1 hour and 45 minute trip. Then M/V Tropical II took its place, carrying 365 passengers and reducing the trip time to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
In August 2006, the Galaxy Wave, a 152-foot catamaran designed by Incat Crowther of Australia and built in New Orleans by Gulf Craft, was welcomed. With a modern jet propulsion engine system, the Galaxy Wave carries 460 passengers in a record time of 1 hour and 10 minutes, offering a faster, more comfortable, and more efficient trip. In 2012, Tropical Wave, a 150-foot catamaran with a capacity of 350 passengers, joined Galaxy Wave to cover all the routes that Roatán Ferry covers: Roatán, Utila, Guanaja, and La Ceiba.
