Arrive at La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City for private transport to Casa Vieja Lodge for check-in and pool time. A short, casual fishing orientation is given to familiarize the guests with the equipment, fishing terms, positions, and scenarios you’ll likely encounter during a typical fishing day. This orientation is followed by dinner, where instructors pair you with others who share similar fishing skills.
Fishing days start early. The staff will gently wake you with coffee (or your drink of choice) brought to your room at around 5:45 a.m. Breakfast is served at 6 a.m., and departure to the marina is at 6:45 a.m. Each day is unique as the anglers’ skills, weather, and bite factor into what happens on the water. But the overall goal remains constant: catch fish, learn, and connect with your team. Boats are back at the marina around 4 p.m. for pool time, cocktails, and snacks, and dinner is served around 7 p.m.
Anglers put what they have learned to the test and compete in a one-day shootout against the other team(s). Everything is on the line, including a custom-made trophy made by King Sailfish Mounts. The day concludes with dinner and the awards and graduation ceremonies.
Breakfast starts at 6 a.m. Your departure time will vary based on your flight, but we’ll ensure there’s more than enough time for your private transport back to the airport in Guatemala City.
