Fly Fishing for Billfish in Guatemala

If you've ever dreamed of hooking a 100-pound sailfish on fly, Guatemala is where that dream becomes reality. With one of the most consistent, year-round sailfish populations in the world, Pacific Fins offers unparalleled opportunities for fly anglers seeking true blue-water adrenaline.

Our experienced captains and mates work seamlessly with both seasoned fly anglers and first-timers, guiding each step of the process—from presentation to hook-up. Beyond sailfish, anglers may also encounter dorado, tuna, and increasingly, marlin on fly, offering exceptional fights and a true test of skill.

Fly fishing for billfish is a game of precision and timing. Compared to conventional tackle, hook-up ratios are naturally lower—often one release for every three to four opportunities—but nothing compares to watching a sailfish light up and eat a fly just feet from the boat. It's an intense, full-throttle experience that stays with you forever.
