Fishing in Guatemala: We Fish Where the Fish are
The undisputed sailfish capital – Guatemala has the perfect conditions to attract huge numbers of billfish throughout the year. Laws making possession of sailfish illegal coupled with strong conservation ensure that the fishery continues to flourish. The fleet averages 15-20 billfish each day throughout the season.

Fishing Equipment
Our boats are equipped with the best conventional and flyfishing gear. We use primarily Shimano and Penn stand-up when trolling and flyrods from 9Wt to 15Wt for gamefish from tuna/dorado to Blue Marlin
Inshore fishing
Inshore waters offer the prospect of the much sought after Roosterfish. Although the immediate coastline does not provide ideal conditions for fishing for these gamefish, they can be found usually trolling around areas of strong current within a few miles of the Pez Vela marina.
