What Makes Guatemala Sail Fishing The Best Deep Sea Fishing Spot In The World?

More Sail FishWorld's Largest Sail Fish Population
Neither Costa Rica nor Panama are the top sail fishing destinations now.  Serious anglers are now turning their sights to Guatemala for exotic big game fishing vacation trips. Guatemala charter boats now  hold the honor of being the preferred destination for serious bill fishermen.  Iztapa, Buena Vista, and Port of San Jose Guatemala anglers catch and release more sail fish per day per angler than any other spot in the world.  Guatemala is now known as the"sailfish capitol of the world".


Bill Fish ConservationCatch and Release

Guatemala has strict conservation practices in place for the protection of bill fish. All big game deep sea fishing charter boats here practice "catch and release".


Abundant Bait FishOcean Topography and Tides Bring In Bait Fish

Abundant bait fish hold up in the currents over the deep waters of the Guatemala Pacific as little as 6 miles from our docks at Marina Pez Vela in the Port of San Jose.  There is a near-perfect ecosystem for sail fish, marlin, dorado (mahi mahi) and yellow fin tuna.

Little Fishing Pressure
Small Fishing Fleet

Our small  bill fishing fleet makes for practically virgin fishing grounds when compared to the over-fished Costa Rican waters.
