About Your Trip
What could be better than waking up at a luxurious Pacific coast resort, with a boat waiting to take you to some of the best billfishing waters in the world? If you can think of anything, let us know, because this all-inclusive experience with Captain Ozzy is the ultimate dream trip for anglers chasing big game fish. With 3 full days of fishing and 4 nights of luxury lodging, this adventure blends world-class fishing with
resort-class comfort.
The Pacific coast of Guatemala is renowned for its consistently calm waters and incredible billfishing. Known as one of the premier Sailfishing destinations worldwide, anglers here enjoy 15–20 Sailfish bites a day on average, with peak season (October to June) bringing up to 40 bites daily! The best captains release over 2,000 Sailfish per year. But it’s not just about Sailfish—these waters are also home to massive Tuna and Marlin, making it the perfect place to break your personal record.
You’ll be fishing the “Pocket,” a deep underwater canyon about 30 nautical miles wide. Most trips start just 12–15 miles offshore at the canyon’s tip, but Captain Ozzy is ready to go the distance, sometimes running up to 40 miles offshore to find the bite. In this fishing haven, you’ll target Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, and more. Blue Marlin in these waters average 300–600 pounds, and on a good day, top captains can raise 4 or more Marlin! While Sailfish reign supreme from October through June, Marlin fishing is especially hot from September to December and remains solid year-round.
Captain Ozzy uses a variety of techniques to target these fish, including light tackle, heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing. For billfish, expect to use artificial teasers and rigged natural bait like ballyhoo, paired with Shimano 20–50 lb class stand-up tackle. Fly fishing is also an option for those looking for a unique challenge. All bait is rigged with circle hooks as part of Guatemala’s strong conservation efforts, and billfishing is strictly catch-and-release to preserve these incredible fisheries for future generations.
Your fishing trips will run from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM each day. While on board, your crew will serve you a hot lunch, snacks, fresh fruit, and even freshly prepared ceviche or sashimi. Beer, rum, vodka, sodas, Gatorade, and bottled water are all included. The luxury doesn’t stop when you leave the dock!
