Scientists who have studied the large numbers of sailfish off the coast of Guatemala have concluded this might be the largest breeding ground for Pacific Sailfish in the world. While we call our prime season November thru May, sailfish are caught year round in Guatemala. Since we've been in business, not one of our clients has failed to release a sailfish! We have an amazing fishery. We protect it by practicing catch and release and using circle hooks.

Guatemala has gained an international reputation as having one of the highest year-round concentrations of billfish, in particular Pacific sailfish. Guatemala’s Pacific Coast forms an enormous, natural eddy, rich in bait and pelagic fish. Billfish and many other sportfishing species are found in great numbers.
