Guatemala Sport Fishing Tours
The waters off the Pacific coast port of Iztapa host Guatemala’s best sport fishing. In fact, Guatemala is known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World”, and there are all sorts of records to support this assertion. The sport fishing here can be fun and fulfilling — it’s not uncommon to come home with 25 fish each day. Sport fishing tours are led by a competent captain and guide, and are available for everyone from the most novice of anglers to the saltiest of seaman.
