About Your Trip
What could be better than waking up in a luxurious resort on Guatemala’s Pacific coast with a boat ready to take you to some of the best billfishing waters in the world? This all-inclusive trip with Captain Ozzy is a dream come true for anglers looking to reel in serious big game fish. Over three full days of fishing and four nights of premium lodging, you’ll experience the adventure and relaxation of a lifetime.
Guatemala’s
Pacific coast is famous for its calm, productive waters, making it one of the top Sailfishing destinations globally. In Puerto Quetzal, anglers often enjoy 15–20 Sailfish bites per day, with peak season (October–June) offering up to 40 bites in a single outing. The top boats catch and release over 2,000 Sailfish annually! While Sailfish are the stars of the show, the waters are also home to massive Tuna and Marlin. Blue Marlin in the 300–600 pound range are common, and top captains often raise four or more Marlin in a single day during the prime Marlin season from September through December.
Your fishing grounds will include “The Pocket,” a deep, 30-nautical-mile-wide underwater canyon teeming with life. Most days, Captain Ozzy will start you just 12–15 miles offshore at the canyon’s edge, though he’ll go as far as 40 miles out if necessary to find the bite. You’ll target Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, and other species using various techniques like trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and light or heavy tackle. For those seeking a unique challenge, fly fishing is also an option. Billfish are targeted with artificial teasers and rigged natural baits like ballyhoo. Quality Shimano stand-up tackle (20–50 pound class) is provided, and conservation is prioritized with circle hooks and a strict catch-and-release policy for all billfish, ensuring these waters remain a haven for anglers.
With the “Standard Package,” Captain Ozzy accommodates up to four anglers aboard his Catamaran sportfisher, powered by twin Suzuki 250HP engines and cruising at a speedy 38 knots to get you to the fishing grounds quickly. The boat features all the essentials for a great day on the water, including a cabin with a full-size bed for added comfort. Each trip is led by a professional crew, including an experienced captain and two skilled mates. Fishing trips run from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, during which you’ll be treated to hot lunches, fresh ceviche or sashimi prepared in the galley, snacks, and beverages like beer, rum/vodka, sodas, Gatorade, and bottled water. From the service to the setup, this trip delivers resort-level luxury on the water.
When your day of fishing is done, unwind in a private air-conditioned villa featuring two bedrooms with queen beds, two bathrooms, and a comfortable central lounge with a flat-screen TV and SKY Satellite Service (English programming). Sliding glass doors open onto a sun deck overlooking the resort’s lush tropical gardens, pool, and marina. High-speed Wi-Fi and daily laundry service are included to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Your dining experience is just as luxurious. This all-inclusive package features a-la-carte breakfasts by the pool, including fresh fruit, eggs cooked to order, pancakes, and locally roasted Guatemalan coffee. For dinner, savor gourmet dishes like fresh seafood with local seasonings, prime steaks, and international cuisine, all accompanied by appetizers, entrees, desserts, and unlimited beer, wine, and premium spirits.
From the moment you land in Guatemala, every detail is taken care of. An English-speaking driver will greet you at the airport and escort you to the resort in a luxury passenger van stocked with cold drinks. If your flight arrives mid-day, you’ll have the option to tour Antigua Guatemala before continuing to Iztapa, Escuintla. The scenic 90-minute drive takes you along volcanoes, sugar plantations, and picturesque landscapes, making it the perfect start to your adventure.
This all-inclusive fishing trip with Captain Ozzy offers world-class fishing, five-star accommodations, and unmatched service. Whether you’re chasing trophy Sailfish, battling Marlin, or simply soaking in the beauty of Guatemala’s coast, this trip promises memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
