About Your Trip

What sounds better than waking up in a luxurious Pacific coast resort with a boat waiting to whisk you away to world-class billfishing? We can’t think of anything either! This all-inclusive experience with Captain Ozzy is the dream vacation for avid anglers looking to land serious big game fish. Over the course of three full days of fishing and four nights of lodging, you'll experience the unparalleled fishing waters of Guatemala’s Pacific coast.

Renowned as one of the world’s premier Sailfishing destinations, these calm waters offer incredible action year-round, with peak season running October through June. Anglers can expect 15 to 20 Sailfish bites a day, with top boats raising up to 40 during peak months. The region’s captains catch and release over 2,000 Sailfish annually! In addition to Sailfish, the area offers trophy-worthy Tuna, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Black Marlin. If you’re looking to set a personal record, this trip is for you. Blue Marlin in the 300–600 pound range are common, and it’s not unheard of to raise multiple Marlin in a single day, especially from September through December.

Captain Ozzy will take you to the "Pocket," a 30 Nm-wide underwater canyon teeming with marine life. Most days, fishing begins just 12–15 miles offshore, but the captain may run up to 40 miles out if needed to put you on the fish. Techniques include light and heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and even fly fishing if you choose. Expect to use high-quality Shimano stand-up tackle (20–50 pound class) and circle-hook rigged ballyhoo for billfish. Guatemala leads the way in conservation, and all billfishing is strictly catch-and-release, ensuring these waters remain a world-class fishery for years to come.

With the "Performance Package," you’ll fish aboard a 32’ Blackfin sportfisher powered by twin Cat 3208 engines. This sturdy vessel cruises comfortably at 22 knots and is equipped with all the basics to keep you safe and comfortable for a full day on the water. Alternatively, you can opt for a 31’ Bertram powered by twin Cummins 6BTA engines with similar amenities and a cruising speed of 23 knots. Both boats are meticulously maintained and feature top-of-the-line gear, a skilled captain, and two experienced mates. Trips run from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and your crew will provide hot lunches, fresh ceviche or sashimi prepared in the galley, snacks, and beverages, including beer, rum/vodka, sodas, Gatorade, and bottled water. Luxury and comfort follow you from the resort right onto the boat.

When you’re not on the water, relax in a beautifully designed villa featuring air conditioning, two bedrooms with queen beds, two bathrooms, and a central lounge with a flat-screen TV and SKY Satellite Service. Sliding glass doors open onto a sun deck overlooking landscaped tropical grounds, a pool, and the marina. Daily laundry service and high-speed Wi-Fi are included, making your stay as comfortable as it is convenient.

Your dining experience is equally indulgent. Enjoy a-la-carte breakfasts by the pool featuring fresh fruit, eggs cooked to order, pancakes, and Guatemalan coffee. Gourmet dinners include fresh seafood, prime steaks, and international dishes, all accompanied by appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Unlimited beer, wine, and premium spirits are included, ensuring every meal feels like a celebration.

From the moment you land, every detail is covered. An English-speaking driver will greet you at the Guatemalan International Airport in a luxury passenger van, complete with a cooler of sodas and beer for the drive to the resort. If your flight arrives mid-day, you’ll have the option to explore Antigua Guatemala before heading south to Iztapa, Escuintla. The scenic 90-minute drive passes volcanoes, sugar plantations, and picturesque landscapes, making it a pleasant start to your adventure.

This trip combines unmatched fishing action, luxury accommodations, and seamless service for a bucket-list experience. Whether you’re chasing record-breaking billfish or just looking to soak up the beauty of Guatemala’s coast, Captain Ozzy’s all-inclusive package ensures a trip you’ll never forget.
