About Your Trip
What could be better than waking up in a luxurious Pacific coast resort with a boat ready to take you to world-class billfishing? This all-inclusive trip with Captain Ozzy is the ultimate fishing getaway for anglers seeking big game thrills. With three full days of fishing and four nights of premium lodging, you’ll experience adventure, comfort, and unforgettable memories.
Guatemala’s Pacific coast is a world-renowned billfishing destination, famous for calm waters and unparalleled Sailfish action.
Peak season (October–June) delivers 15–20 Sailfish bites per day, with some anglers experiencing up to 40. Top boats in the region release over 2,000 Sailfish annually! While Sailfish are the main draw, the area also boasts massive Tuna and Marlin. Blue Marlin in the 300–600 pound range are common, and September through December is especially productive for Marlin fishing, though they’re available year-round. If you’re chasing a personal best or nonstop action, this trip is for you.
Your fishing grounds include "The Pocket," a 30-nautical-mile-wide underwater canyon teeming with life. Most days, Captain Ozzy starts just 12–15 miles offshore, but he’s ready to go as far as 40 miles out to find the best bite. You’ll target Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, and more. It’s not uncommon for top captains to raise four or more Marlin in a single day, making this destination a bucket-list spot for anglers worldwide.
Fishing methods include trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and both light and heavy tackle. For a unique challenge, you can also opt for fly fishing. Billfish are targeted using artificial teasers and natural bait like ballyhoo, all rigged with conservation-friendly circle hooks. Shimano stand-up tackle (20–50 lb class) ensures top performance. Guatemala is a leader in marine conservation, with all billfishing strictly catch-and-release to preserve the fishery for years to come.
With the "Standard Package," Captain Ozzy accommodates up to four anglers aboard his Catamaran sportfisher, powered by twin Suzuki 250HP engines and cruising at 38 knots for quick access to the fishing grounds. The boat is equipped with all the essentials, including a cabin with a full-size bed for added comfort. Every trip is led by an experienced captain and two skilled mates, ensuring top-tier service and a seamless fishing experience. Fishing trips run from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, during which you’ll enjoy hot lunches, fresh ceviche or sashimi prepared onboard, snacks, and beverages including beer, rum/vodka, sodas, Gatorade, and bottled water. The luxury of the resort continues seamlessly onto the boat.
After a day of epic fishing, relax in your air-conditioned suite, furnished with two queen beds, a bathroom, a desk, a lounge chair, and a flat-screen TV with SKY Satellite Service (English programming). Daily laundry service and high-speed Wi-Fi ensure maximum comfort and convenience during your stay.
Dining at the resort is equally exceptional. Start your day with an a-la-carte breakfast by the pool, featuring fresh fruit, cereal, pancakes, eggs cooked to order, and freshly brewed Guatemalan coffee. For dinner, enjoy gourmet meals including fresh seafood, prime steaks, and international cuisine. Appetizers, entrees, desserts, and unlimited beer, wine, and premium spirits are all part of the experience, elevating your stay to pure indulgence.
From the moment you arrive, every detail is handled. An English-speaking driver will greet you at the Guatemalan International Airport and transport you to the resort in a luxury passenger van stocked with sodas and beer. If you arrive mid-day, you’ll have the option to tour the charming town of Antigua Guatemala before heading south to Iztapa, Escuintla. The scenic 90-minute drive takes you along volcanoes, sugar plantations, and picturesque landscapes, providing the perfect introduction to your adventure.
This all-inclusive fishing trip with Captain Ozzy is the ideal combination of world-class billfishing, five-star accommodations, and outstanding service. Whether you’re battling Sailfish, chasing trophy Marlin, or simply soaking in the beauty of Guatemala’s coast, this trip offers an unforgettable experience.
