For the adventurous billfish angler, there is no place like Guatemala for targeting sailfish. Year round— especially December through May— there is no other place on earth where you’ll have the opportunity to land and release such staggering numbers of Pacific sails.
Casa Vieja Lodge has a well earned reputation for consistently delivering guests a premier stay-and-catch experience. From sea to table and at all points in between, CVL’s team of client-focused staff always go the extra mile to ensure yours is the adventure of a lifetime.
The Trip
Upon arrival into Guatemala City, you will be met by a lodge representative and be driven 90 minutes to Puerto San Jose and the Casa Vieja Lodge. The next three mornings, you will be up at 6:00am for breakfast, before taking the 5 minute drive to the Marina Pez Vela to board your boat for a full day of Guatemala sailfishing- some of the best saltwater action in the world.
All conventional and fly fishing equipment is available for your use, with saltwater flies for sale at a nominal rate. When you get back to the lodge around 4:30pm, you will have time to relax around the pool while dinner is being prepared. After breakfast on your last morning, you will pack up and be transferred back to Guatemala City and the airport for your scheduled international departure.
The Experience
Although sailfish (and lots of them) are your main target, you may also get shots at dorado, tuna and the occasional marlin. The best bite in Guatemala is generally within an hour of the marina. With short runs in calm seas and tons of sailfish, Guatemala is an absolute dream venue for anglers seeking non-stop action.
The Accommodations
Casa Vieja Lodge, formerly the private retreat of one of Guatemala’s most prominent sporting families, is a sensational facility with deluxe rooms, outstanding food and beverage service, a scenic swimming pool and even a fitness room. The manicured grounds surrounding this 20-bedroom lodge make it a place of true relaxation. We will be using boats in the 37ft range with upgrades to 43ft boats available.
