Dort gehen wir vor dem verschlafenen St\u00e4dtchen Santa Elena vor Anker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roat\u00e1n, the biggest and most developed of the Bay Islands, draws in travelers with its mountainous inner region and miles of sandy white beaches on its shores. The east end is still pretty chill and mostly untouched by tourism, but the area around French Cay and even more so the West End are bustling with tourists who come in by plane, ferry, or the large cruise ships. No surprise there. After all, the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest coral reef in the world, is located in the Bay Islands, stretching 700 miles all the way from the Yucatan Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Roat\u00e1n, die gr\u00f6\u00dfte und am weitesten entwickelte der Bay Islands, lockt Reisende mit ihrer bergigen Innenregion und kilometerlangen wei\u00dfen Sandstr\u00e4nden an ihren K\u00fcsten an. Der \u00f6stliche Teil ist noch recht ruhig und vom Tourismus weitgehend unber\u00fchrt, aber die Gegend um French Cay und vor allem der westliche Teil sind voller Touristen, die mit dem Flugzeug, der F\u00e4hre oder gro\u00dfen Kreuzfahrtschiffen anreisen. Das ist wirklich nicht \u00fcberrasschend, denn das Mesoamerikanische Riff, das zweitgr\u00f6\u00dfte Korallenriff der Welt, liegt in den Bay Islands und erstreckt sich \u00fcber 700 Meilen bis zur Halbinsel Yucatan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_1915551462.jpg?w=862\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2930\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2931\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_185739282-edit-edit2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2931\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2933\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_185002516.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2933\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2934\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_1855317502-edit.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2934\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2932\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_1905363273.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2932\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250726_185649331-edit2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2935\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We love the quiet anchorages of Santa Elena and Port Royal, where we have the entire bay to ourselves. The water is gorgeous, and perfect for taking an early morning or late night swim with no one else around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Wir lieben die ruhigen Ankerpl\u00e4tze von Santa Elena und Port Royal, wo wir die gesamte Bucht f\u00fcr uns allein haben. Das Wasser ist einfach traumhaft und perfekt f\u00fcr ein entspannendes Bad am fr\u00fchen Morgen oder am sp\u00e4ten Abend, ohne dass jemand anderes in der N\u00e4he ist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dji_fly_20250720_124222_287_1753131191857_quickshot_exported_3069.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3016\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then continue on along the coast first to French Cay Harbor and then to lively West End, where the streets are filled with tourists visiting the many restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. Lanchas are zooming back and forth, bringing the cruise ship passangers to the resorts of French Cay and to various other attractions. The anchorage of West End is protected by a big reef, and there are only three narrow, shallow entrances indicated by two white markers. While it looks like there&#8217;s plenty of space, the adrenaline level is slightly elevated when you approach the markers and see the reefs on either side of the them. The approach is definitely best attempted by good light and calm conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Wir fahren dann weiter entlang der K\u00fcste, zuerst zum French Cay Harbor und dann zum lebhaften West End, wo die Stra\u00dfen voller Touristen sind, die die vielen Restaurants, Bars und Souvenirl\u00e4den besuchen. Lanchas flitzen hin und her und bringen die Kreuzfahrtpassagiere zu den Resorts von French Cay und zu verschiedenen anderen Attraktionen. Der Ankerplatz von West End wird von einem gro\u00dfen Riff gesch\u00fctzt, und es gibt nur drei schmale, flache Einfahrten, die durch zwei wei\u00dfe Markierungen gekennzeichnet sind. Obwohl es so aussieht, als g\u00e4be es viel Platz, steigt der Adrenalinspiegel leicht an, wenn man sich den Markierungen n\u00e4hert und die Riffe auf beiden Seiten sieht. Die Anfahrt sollte auf jeden Fall bei gutem Licht und ruhigen Bedingungen versucht werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dji_fly_20250801_064020_288_1754052768060_photo_optimized.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3030\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250801_131909954.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3032\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped is-style-rectangular wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3020\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250731_224824650.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3020\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3018\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250801_001648774.jpg?w=646\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3018\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250801_0026445192-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3024\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3026\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250731_235606486-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3026\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3025\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250801_002748471.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3025\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3028\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250731_225930031.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3028\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3027\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250731_230550832.jpg?w=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3027\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides tourism, fishing is the main source of income for the islands.

With winds between 8 and 10 knots and calm water, we deploy the spinnaker and sail the 23 nautical miles to Utila on a comfortable broad reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Am 1. August verlassen wir West End in Roat\u00e1n.  Bei Windgeschwindigkeiten zwischen 8 und 10 Knoten und ruhiger See setzen wir den Spinnaker und segeln die 23 Seemeilen nach Utila auf einem angenehmen Raumschotkurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250309_134433387.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2916\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rain and thunderstorms that were in the forecast didn&#8217;t materialize, so we got to enjoy a beautiful sail with a gorgeous view of the mountains on the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">Der vorhergesagte Regen und die Gewitter blieben aus, sodass wir eine wundersch\u00f6ne Segeltour mit herrlichem Blick auf die Berge des Festlandes genie\u00dfen konnten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250805_214153107.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3035\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 23 nautical miles, we drop anchor in the big bay of Utila. Like Roat\u00e1n, diving tourists are the main source of income for this island, but unlike Roat\u00e1n, most travelers coming to Utila are more budget-conscious. There are tons of scuba shops along the streets, and the harbor is filled with snorkeling and diving boats waiting for customers. The water is crystal clear, and every time we go snorkeling, we&#8217;re amazed by the healthy corals and the large variety and number of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Nach einer entspannten Reise von 23 Seemeilen erreichen wir die malerische gro\u00dfe Bucht von Utila, wo wir den Anker werfen. Wie auf Roat\u00e1n sind auch hier Tauchtouristen die Haupteinnahmequelle der Insel, aber im Gegensatz zu Roat\u00e1n sind die meisten Reisenden, die nach Utila kommen, eher preisbewusst. Entlang der Stra\u00dfen findet man unz\u00e4hlige Tauchshops, und im Hafen liegen Schiffe f\u00fcr Schnorchler und Taucher bereit, die nur darauf warten, ihre G\u00e4ste an Bord zu begr\u00fc\u00dfen. Das Wasser ist so klar und sauber, und jedes Mal, wenn wir schnorcheln gehen, sind wir von den gesunden Korallen und der gro\u00dfen Vielfalt und Anzahl der Fische begeistert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250801_224132934.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2844\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pxl_20250801_131959539.jpg?w=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3044\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2848\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250804_235006873-1.jpg?w=547\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2848\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2842\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250804_234906366-1.jpg?w=870\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2842\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2840\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250804_235419920-1.jpg?w=355\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2840\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pxl_20250802_000940298.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2846\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is not a not much else to do on Utila, but of we tick off the few things that are there &#8211; the Iguana Research and Breeding Station, the Chocolate Shop, the Rum Factory, the main beach and the old lighthouse. This lighthouse was still in use until a few years ago but has since been abandoned. Of course we climb up and are rewarded with a great 360 view of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\">Auf Utila gibt es nicht viel zu tun, aber wir haken die wenigen Dinge ab, die es dort gibt \u2013 die Iguana-Forschungs- und Zuchtstation, den Schokoladenladen, die Rumfabrik, den gr\u00f6\u00dften Strand und den alten Leuchtturm. Dieser Leuchtturm war bis vor einigen Jahren noch in Betrieb, ist aber mittlerweile aufgegeben worden.
