Fishing Guatemala - Sailfish Villas Of Guatemala - For those that prefer their own private domain when out on a saltwater sport fishing vacation we offer the beautifully appointed Villa Pacifico. This Villa is located inside one of the premier beach communities of the Guatemalan Pacific with 24 hour private security. By car, it is about 10 minutes from the New Pez Vela marina where the boats are docked, one hour from Antigua Guatemala and one and a half hours from Guatemala City.
Guatemala is not known for big sailfish tournaments or beach side resorts and is a relatively new destination in the sailfishing circuit, so lets talk about our forte: numbers. Just this last January a group of 20 fishermen, on 5 boats, in a 3-day period caught 369 fish out of which 343 were Pacific Sailfish. Other anglers have caught and released close to 100 sails in two days. Last year another group of 33 anglers on 11 boats, in a 4-day period caught and released 782 sailfish. Of course those are the high numbers, the ones that provoke ooohhhs, aaahhhs and everyone brags about but what are the day-to-day numbers? Try the following figures, per boat, per day (placed in ascending order, not by consecutive fishing days): January: 5, 8, 13, 18, 28; February: 4, 27, 30, 42, 47; March: 12, 17, 20, 30, 45; April: 2, 7, 10, 14, 17; May: 9; June: 5, 6; July: 7, 10, 17; August: 8, 10, 12, 13; September: 3, 4; October: 2, 6, 11; November: 2, 7; December: 3, 8, 10, 15. That’s an average of 13.76 sailfish caught and released per boat, per day. Are we making our case?

What is so special about Guatemala to attract so many sailfish? The shape of the sea bottom, the flow of ocean currents, water temperature, sea life, etc., all contribute to create a habitat in which Pacific Sailfish thrive. In fact some say Guatemala has the world’s most fertile Pacific Sailfish breeding grounds. The Guatemalan Government and local fishermen have also played their part by adopting a catch and release policy for billfish and the use of circle hooks.

This spacious villa is the perfect place for a memorable vacation. This unit is fully furnished with all the great amenities of home and in authentic Guatemalan decor. Don't forget to take advantage of the great views to soak in a couple Latin American sunsets. After a long day fishing or a day at the beach/sight seeing some may be ready to get a good nights sleep. That is not going to be a problem at this great villa. In the master bedroom there is a queen size bed, a balcony that overlooks the private gardens, and private bath. The second bedroom comes with two double beds and an a garden/pool view. The third bedroom with a garden view has two twins and the fourth comes with bunk beds. The second/3rd and fourth bedrooms share a full bath. If it is time for you to catch up on much needed rest let the tropical breeze, and comfort of this villa assist you.
