SAILFISH BAY LODGE is located on a barrier island
between the Chiquimulia canal and the Pacific Ocean. Our property is
close to colonial Spain's first Central America seaport, now named
Puerto Iztapa. To get to our lodge we take a 5 minute boat ride along
the canal.
Sailfish Bay offers clients an intimate setting with
a private 4 bedroom/ 3 bath house located close to the ocean. The beach
is only a 3 minute walk from the Lodge and you can hear the surf
crashing ashore during your stay each night. With A/C, private pool and
an outdoor eating area, you are able to relax at the end of the day in
a secluded, safe and comfortable environment. Enjoy a breakfast
consisting of fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, cereal, fresh roasted
Guatemalan coffee and freshly squeezed orange or pineapple juice. In
the evening, our house chef will prepare fresh fish on the grill, jumbo
shrimp, lobster and delicious seafood soups. Our open bar features
several local beers, national and international liquors and a nice
selection of Chilean wines.

FISHING INFO AT SAILFISH BAY
The coast here in Guatemala forms a giant bay. Strong
currents coming west to east from the Mexican coast turn back after
hitting the coast of El Salvador and create an enormous, natural
occurring eddy, rich in bait and pelagic fish where billfish and many
other sport fishing species are found in great numbers.
With a year round daily catch and release rate
averaging 15-20 sailfish, your trip will become a lifetime remembering
experience. In addition to the always abundant sailfish population, you
will also have the opportunity to hook dorado, tuna, blue, black and
striped marlin. Inshore fishing offers roosterfish and jack crevalle.
Fishing pressure? What fishing pressure? The sport
fishing fleet here is small and it's a rarity to see another boat while
fishing offshore. You usually have Guatemala's calm ocean to your
self...
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.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES AT SAILFISH BAY
This is a fishing destination. There is a little shopping, but for the most part -- it's PURE FISHING.
