CASA VIEJA LODGE, GUATEMALA
The best sailfishing on earth combined with incredible service and luxurious, all-inclusive accommodations.
We’re headed back with a group of nine from November 16-20, 2024 and have ONE BOAT available. If you’d like to claim it, or need more information, email us ASAP.
Have You Caught a Sailfish?
Maybe you chartered a boat and dragged baits fruitlessly around the ocean for hours. Or you took turns with friends, drew the short straw and missed the only bite. Or perhaps you just assumed it was way too expensive. There are certainly no guarantees in fishing, but when it comes to sailfish Guatemala is as close as it gets, and it’s surprisingly affordable. On our first trip in February of 2020 we landed 37 sails in three days. When we returned 12 months later we landed 44 in three days….and those numbers aren’t even exceptional. The week before our return one boat landed 67 sailfish in a single day. At Casa Vieja Lodge they average double-digit raises year round. You don’t need any prior experience or any equipment of your own. Just show up and prepare to be spoiled. There are also marlin, mahi and tuna in the mix — and if you prefer inshore action you can target roosterfish, snapper and a variety of grouper.
Easy Travel
There are direct flights to Guatemala City from US cities including Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Newark and Los Angeles. You’ll zip through customs and enjoy a 90-minute drive in a Mercedes Van to the lodge. Once you’re there, your laundry will be done every day, you’ll celebrate your fishing success with poolside drinks, and you’ll luxuriate in a five-star resort that’s fit for the whole family.
World Class Food and Drink
Casa Vieja’s chef is adept at cooking made-to-order breakfasts and gourmet dinners built around local ingredients. If you catch a mahi or tuna on the boat, expect to have the freshest lunch possible — and enjoy a Guatemalan beer or rum drink. Your glass will never go empty.
Variety of Boats
The great service occurs no matter which boat you fish on, but Casa Vieja offers a the widest variety of vessels in Guatemala — to accommodate the size of your group, your preferred fishing style and your budget. Click below to examine the different offerings. Just make sure you book early, because prime dates often fill up 12 to 18 months in advance.
