GUATEMALA FISHING VACATION GUATEMALA SPORTFISHING AND FLY FISHING
6 Reasons to take a Fishing Trip in Guatemala with Great Sailfishing

1. Our Guatemala fishing business has just completed its 9th successful season – releasing a huge number of sailfish and blue marlin. When you book with us, your deposit and payment are held in the US by our US based LLC – so your $ are secure in case of any issues. We are always available by email and phone.
2. Your safety is our #1 concern – on land and on sea. We have a routine for your fishing trip that is safe from arrival in Guatemala for fishing for sailfish until your return home from fishing in Guatemala.
3. We provide Personal Attention. Two of the partners are permanently in Guatemala and will meet you every day before fishing on your trip. Issues do occur – but they have full authority to resolve them on the spot. You are dealing with the owners of Great Sailfishing in Guatemala.
4. Our fishing equipment and crews are first rate. We use primarily Penn and Shimano tackle, and our boats carry fly fishing gear if you want to try flyfishing for sailfish on your Guatemala fishing trip.
5. Staying in our Villas for your all-inclusive fishing trip means that you have freedom, space and privacy for your group. Always one group only per villa – so your fishing trip is how YOU want it, not others.
6. Value for money – when we say all-inclusive, we mean it. No hidden extras, no surprise bar tabs on departure, no extra hotel bill. The only thing you need cash for on your fishing trip is discretionary expenses.!

World's BEST Conventional or Fly Fishing for Sailfish

Perhaps the best and most predictable bluewater fishing trip, Guatemala Fishing has earned a worldwide reputation as THE destination for your billfish fishing trip because anglers regularly have shots at 20+ Sailfish per day. For all of the bluewater anglers, there are opportunities for Blue marlin and Black marlin as well as Tuna and Dorado.
The coastline and ecosystem support vast quantities of bait year round and warm eddies hold large pods of sailfish between 2 and 50 miles from port. Guatemala holds many official (and unofficial !) records for Pacific Sailfish fishing including most in a day on conventional (124) and on the fly (57)...as well as most in a season..................so there is clearly no shortage of action ! Fishing for sailfish and Blue Marlin with conventional and fly tackle are accommodated on our fleet of Bertram sport fishing boats. Our crews are full time, experienced and offer both encouragement and tuition if you wish; our only objective is for you to have a trip of a lifetime.


The boats are equipped with the best Shimano tackle for "stand up" conventional fishing for sailfish, and also carry Penn50's and Okuma with pitch baits for Blue Marlin. There are Penn 6500's aboard as teasing rods or for spinning tackle for Dorado etc..We carry a range of quality flyfishing tackle from 9wt to 15wt from Cam Sigler,Loomis,Billy Pate and others.

  • That Sinking Feeling
  • The Marina Pez Vela has sheltered the fishing fleet in Guatemala from the wind but not the rain. The sailfishing in the summer season has been even better than in past years - and complemented by some fantastic dorado fishing on light tackle and fly-fishing gear.

  • Great dorado fishing in Guatemala
  • The Summer Fishing Season in Guatemala brings with it great opportunities for saltwater flyfishing for dorado and other aggressive sportfish.

  • Greatsailfishing Season Summary for 2009/10
  • The Fishing Season in Guatemala this past season was up to its usual standard of large numbers of sailfish and billfish raised - in some cases despite the unpredictable weather and climatic events.

  • Natural Bait in Guatemala for fishing
  • Volcano ash not effecting the fishing in Guatemala

  • Earthquakes and fishing in GUATEMALA
  • Despite some follow on tremors, the huge earthquake in Chile did not have any effect on the fishing in Guatemala. The boats went to sea in search of sailfish, but with a cautious eye towards the waves as the possibility of a rolling tsunami existed.

This was my second trip with GSC, and I absolutely plan to repeat it. I have recommended this trip to many friends.
Mr Be came to catch sailfish with a group of four in March

The fishing was "slow" for Guatemala , but we still had a great time, releasing 20 sailfish in 4 days with a few dorado and bonito thrown in. We enjoyed Antigua very much, also. We were thrilled and amazed to be so well cared for from beginning to end on this trip by both you and the Great Sailfishing Company. Thanks for your great service!
Mr M.C. billfishing April 2008

It was nice to have assistance from the Great Sail Fishing Company. They acted as a very supportative and coordinated group that in my estimation were very good and thorough… We, as a group had a delightful time with all our fellow fisherman. That is the real value of this fishing trip in my mind. It’s the people that make the trip.

Carlos and Les were terrific and personally ensured our trip was tremendously enjoyable. The accommodations were superb and that really made the overall trip wonderful.

The Gould group came FISHING in GUATEMALA in January 2009

All in all, a fantastic, unforgettable guatemala fishing trip. Captain "Guapo", and his two crewmembers, Carlos
and "Neto", are a top-notch crew. In all my years of fishingfor sailfish and marlin, I have never seen a crew work and
together better than these three.
These guys were true mentors, not tormentors. …………………. When we come next time --
we'll ask for them my name. Gould Group
