Nestled along Guatemala's Pacific coast, Iztapa offers world-class sportfishing adventures, particularly celebrated for its unparalleled sailfish action. Known as the 'Sailfish Capital of the World,' this destination holds records for single-day catches, with anglers regularly landing 15–25 sailfish daily during peak season (December–May). The nutrient-rich currents create an ecosystem teeming with baitfish, attracting prolific numbers of acrobatic Pacific sailfish averaging 80–100 pounds.

Beyond sailfish, Iztapa's waters host blue, black, and striped marlin year-round, with notable activity from September to December. Yellowfin tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), and wahoo add to the diversity, ensuring thrilling opportunities for all anglers. The calm Pacific conditions and proximity to deepwater fishing grounds—just minutes from shore—make every charter efficient and productive.

Modern fishing lodges and experienced local crews provide tailored experiences, whether you prefer conventional tackle, fly fishing, or targeting multiple species. With its rich biodiversity and reliable fishing calendar, Iztapa delivers consistent action for both seasoned anglers and newcomers.
