Ten sailfish days are common, and releases of twenty sailfish per day don't even rate an exclamation point. Fishing action like this makes Guatemala THE best choice for the light tackle fishing or fly rod fishing fanatic. Besides these high flying acrobats there are dolphin, known in Spanish as dorado, tuna, marlin, roosterfish and snook available. However, at present there are only about a dozen fishing boats available.
Half are American owned.
The other half are locally owned and are available for considerbly less money than the American boats. There are two choices, classic 31' Bertrams and 26' pangas. Both are capable of reaching the prime fishing grounds at a fast twenty knots. The Bertrams are best for groups of four. The pangas are suitable for two and are great for those who prefer fishing in a small boat, besides being a real bargain.
