Question 1

When is the best time to fish Guatemala for sailfish?

Accepted Answer

Sailfish bite year-round off Puerto San José, peaking roughly November through May, and it's the most consistent sailfish fishery on the planet. Marlin, mahi-mahi, tuna, and roosterfish fill out the rest of the year.

Question 2

What does a trip cost?

Accepted Answer

Per-angler pricing starts at $2,225 for a party of four on the 3-night / 2-fishing-day package. Smaller groups and longer stays run higher since the boat rate spreads across fewer people. Booking is by quote; no online checkout.

Question 3

What's included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Everything but your flights: boat, captain, mate, all tackle, your villa lodging, every chef-prepared meal, and round-trip airport transfers from Guatemala City. Airfare, crew gratuities, and travel insurance are not included.

Question 4

How many fish can we expect in a day?

Accepted Answer

Double-digit sailfish release days are routine in peak season, though the ocean always has the final say. Captains run the fleet to keep your group on the best bite and release all billfish.

Question 5

What species will we catch?

Accepted Answer

Pacific sailfish headline the spread. Depending on the season you'll have shots at blue, black, and striped marlin, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, and roosterfish. All billfish are released; mahi and tuna go to the table.

Question 6

How do I get there?

Accepted Answer

Fly into Guatemala City (GUA). Round-trip transfers to the lodge are included in every package; once you land, everything is handled.

Question 7

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Light, breathable clothing, sun protection, polarized sunglasses, and a hat. All tackle and gear are provided. A full packing list is sent after you book.

Question 8

Can non-anglers or family come along?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The villa, pool, and chef make it a great stay for non-anglers. They can join for a day offshore or relax at the lodge.

Question 9

How big are the groups?

Accepted Answer

Built for groups: a luxury villa and a fleet of 31′ Bertrams, so your group runs the show. Larger groups get lodging nearby so the experience scales without losing the feel.

Question 11

What happens if the weather turns?

Accepted Answer
