Eddie is a seasoned offshore angler with decades of experience fishing Guatemala’s legendary waters. He got his start in the late 1990s working as a mate under one of the pioneers of the local sportfishing scene, quickly building a reputation for his work ethic and ability to find fish.

By the mid-2000s, he was running his own boat, and his career has since taken him around the world—including several years fishing the Indian Ocean—before returning to Guatemala to continue doing what he does best.

Today, Eddie leads trips with a focus on consistency, professionalism, and putting anglers in the best possible position to succeed. He’s hands-on, detail-oriented, and works closely with his crew to make sure every day on the water runs smoothly.

Backed by a team that’s spent decades dialing in these fisheries, you’re fishing with a crew that understands not just where the fish are—but how to keep you on them.

About Your Trip

This is the kind of fishing trip you plan well in advance—and one that lives up to the hype. Head down to Guatemala for a fully hosted, multi-day sportfishing experience centered around some of the most productive billfish waters in the world.

You’ll choose between two all-inclusive packages:
- 2 Days Fishing / 3 Nights Lodging
- 3 Days Fishing / 4 Nights Lodging

Each trip accommodates up to 6 anglers and is designed to be seamless from arrival to departure. Private airport transportation is included, along with comfortable lodging, all meals, beverages, and local beer. Once you land, everything is handled so you can focus on fishing and enjoying your time.

Fishing days typically run 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, giving you a full day offshore to chase pelagic species. You’ll primarily be trolling for billfish and other pelagics, with opportunities to mix in techniques depending on conditions. For anglers looking for a more technical challenge, fly fishing for sailfish is absolutely an option. The crew has fly gear available, but you’re encouraged to bring your own setup if you have a preferred rig.

Guatemala is known for its consistent sailfish action, with sailfish available year-round. The prime season runs November through May (and into June) when numbers are at their peak. As the rainy season rolls in (May through October), the fishery shifts to include strong opportunities for Dorado (Mahi), Marlin, and mixed pelagics. If you’re chasing tuna, the best bite typically lines up September through November, when cooler water pushes in and brings quality fish within range.

This is a true bluewater experience—fast runs, multiple shots at trophy fish, and a crew that knows how to stay on the bite. Whether you're an experienced offshore angler or making your first big-game trip, the crew keeps things dialed while making sure you’re comfortable and involved throughout the day.

What’s Included:
- Multi-night lodging
- All meals and non-alcoholic beverages
- Local beer & Rum
- Private airport transportation
- Fully guided fishing days (7 AM – 5 PM)
- Rods, reels, tackle, and bait
- Fly gear available onboard

- International airfare to Guatemala City
- Travel insurance (recommended)
- Crew and staff gratuities

If you’re looking for a high-end, hands-off fishing experience with world-class action and everything taken care of, this trip delivers in a big way.
