Utila Aggressor II - Liveaboard


The Utila Aggressor is the perfect base from which to enjoy the diving delights of Utila, Honduras. This brand new liveaboard offers a very different liveaboard experience. Guests may fly into San Pedro Sula or Roatan then board a scenic 30-minute flight to Utila.
The diving from the Utila Aggressor will offer sheer walls and wrecks surrounding Utila as well as offshore sea mounts. These pristine banks are a Caribbean area that has yet to be explored by divers.

The liveaboard can accommodate 18 guests in 6 staterooms with lower double bed and upper single bed, private facilities, port light, closet, and TV/DVD. Other facilities onboard the Utila Aggressor include a lounge with an entertainment center, featuring a TV, DVD/CD, stereo player, and an assortment of movies.
The best spot to enjoy Utila's views and the Caribbean sun is the partially covered sun deck with chaise lounges. There is also a complete wet bar, C/D player, hot tub, and an assortment of seating areas with tables. The BBQ grill area makes a great dining alternative. The dive deck has personal gear lockers and in-place
air/nitrox fill stations, rinse tank, and a three-tier camera table with low-pressure air hoses.

Agent Liveaboard verdict: If you think you have seen everything the Caribbean has to offer, think again and reserve your diving place on the brand new Utila Aggressor.

Sample itinerary

Throughout the week, a sample itinerary includes diving around Utila including Blackish Point, Ted's Point, Blacks Hills, Raggedy Cay and others. The journey continues north with a stop at remote Coco's Sea Mounts, on to Roatan's best diving on the southwest. The yacht then heads back west to Utila to the north side then to the east side. Diving ends Friday after lunch and will return back to the Utila Dock in the afternoon. The crew hosts a sunset cocktail party at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner ashore. This meal is not included in the charter price. Saturday morning at 8:00 am, guests are transferred to the Utila Airport for the charter flight back to Roatan or San Pedro Sula. Throughout the week there will be many opportunities to go ashore for swimming, snorkeling and beach combing.


A sample of dive sites visited
Black Hills: A favorite among all divers, you can count on seeing schools of Creole Wrasse, Atlantic Spadefish, Horse-eye Jack and Southern Sennets at this seamount, along with Scorpion-fish, Toadfish and the rare Frog Fish. A resident turtle appears unafraid of divers, as do the Barracuda. Large pelagic fish can be spotted here, such as Manta Rays, Marlin, and sharks including the big boy himself – the Whale Shark!
Cannery Bank: Here's a prime opportunity to witness large pelagic fish that roam the open waters. There are logs of vibrant color on the mounts, beginning at 25 feet and sloping to 110 feet.
Cayos Cochinos (Hog Islands): Cayos Cochinos is made up of a group of 65 cays that stretches over 10 miles. There is a variety of diving which includes walls, pillars, different species of hard and soft corals, and many different species of fish.
CJ's Drop-off: This is one for the deep-dive enthusiast. Spiny Caribbean Lobster, Golden Tail Moray and schools of Jack are plentiful.
Coco's Sea Mounts: Coco's beauty is in the mix of coral and good visibility that divers always enjoy.
Duppy Waters: A coral garden begins beneath the boat at 20 feet, with walls sloping off into the blue. Eagle Rays, stingrays, octopus and schools of Creole Wrasse and Blue Tang are in abundance.
Halliburton Wreck: Sunk in 1998 for diving purposes, this artificial reef begins at 65 feet with the wheelhouse and continues down to the vessel bottom at 100 feet. Green Morays, Spotted Drum, Yellowline Arrow Crabs, Channel Clinging Crabs and Bearded Fire Worms are usually seen on this exceptional deep dive, as well as the occasional Porcupine Fish and Pipefish.
Hawksbill Bank: The Utila Aggressor is the only visitor to this seamount beginning at 40 feet and sloping down to 80 feet. Bluebell tunicates are in abundance, and the rare Fingerprints can also to be found. A resident hawksbill turtle gives the site its name.
Jack Neil Point: Sand, walls and individual coral heads make this a must dive. Long-snout Seahorse, Large-eye Toadfish, Flying Gurnards, and octopus make this one of the area's best night dives.
Mary's Place: One of the most famous dive sites off of the south side of Roatan, Mary's Place has a lush reef with crevasses and tunnels running through it that provide great photo opportunities.
Old Bank: This is a very nice shallow dive site, where the rare Elkhorn Coral flourishes and smaller critters, like the Fringed Filefish and Caribbean Reef Squid, can be seen along the walls. In the sandy areas, the allusive Yellowhead Jawfish can be spotted peering out of its hole.
Raggedy Cay: This popular site begins at 30 feet and falls away to 140 feet, with Majestic Eagle Rays swooping by and Hawksbill Turtles munching away on soft corals. Octopus can be found around the sand channels along the coral garden as well as Spotted Morays.
Taviana's Wall : Lots of turtles are here and this site makes a great night dive with octopus, crabs and lobsters.
Wreck of the Aguila: This 8-year-old wreck is home to 15 - 20 large Groupers and a big blue Parrot Fish, as well as a big green Moray Eel that is always willing to come out and play.
