Here is your opportunity to take the billfishing trip of a lifetime in Guatemala. This trip is for 3 full days of guided fishing for sailfish, marlin (blue, black, and striped) and pelagic gamefish dolphin, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo fishing adventure donated by Casa Vieja Lodge for two anglers. Schedule this trip with the outfitter for open dates from May 2018-July 2019. Few locations have had the number of "Top Billfishing Destination" headlines in the sportfishing community as Guatemala's Pacific Coast. In the past, releasing 1,000 billfish a year would be regarded as "elite class" by the charter sportfishing world. In 2016 Casa Vieja's fleet had 28, 051 billfish raises, and anglers released a total of 13,949 billfish during their 8-month season. Your fishing adventure will start aboard the Spindrift, a 38-foot Stolper that has been updated with the latest electronics and safety equipment. While at the lodge, you will enjoy its manicured gardens, soothing swimming pool, gourmet meals and full bar for exotic libations, far exceeding the expectations of any angler. Lodging for 5 days and 4 nights, pickup/return to airport, meals, beverages (including alcoholic), laundry, fishing licenses, and high quality tournament tackle for two anglers are all included with this donation. Additional anglers may be added for $1,020 and additional guests for $365/night. Airfare, room tax ($28/night), and gratuities not included. Houston Safari Club thanks Casa Vieja Lodge for this donation.
