You get here. We take it from there.

Once your flights are booked, we coordinate the moving parts around the fishing — your airport transfer, Pacific-coast stay, fishing days and optional Antigua extension.

Private fishing. Private hospitality. One coordinated itinerary.

How Many Fishing Days?

Three days is the classic sweet spot.

The right number of days depends on how far you are travelling, how much time you have and how much opportunity you want offshore. For most guests, three fishing days gives the trip its natural rhythm.

A shorter Guatemala escape

Two fishing days can work well when time is limited, when Guatemala is part of a longer itinerary, or for returning guests looking for a shorter trip. It keeps the experience compact while still giving you two full days aboard Decisive.

The traditional sweet spot

For most guests, three fishing days is the ideal balance. It gives you enough time to settle into the rhythm of the fishery, adjust from one day to the next and enjoy the trip without making the itinerary unnecessarily long.

Give the fishery more room

If Guatemala is one of your major fishing trips of the year, four or more days gives you more opportunity to experience changing conditions, different bite windows and everything the Pacific fishery can produce.

Not sure which is right for your group? We can help you build the trip around your time.

Flights to Guatemala City (GUA)

Guatemala City (La Aurora International) is served by multiple major airlines with frequent nonstops from U.S. hubs such as Miami and Houston, plus convenient connections from most cities. U.S. passport holders typically do not require a visa for short stays. Guests traveling on other passports should check current entry requirements before departure.

From Guatemala City to the Billfish Inn

After you clear customs, our full-time driver Diego Raymundo will meet you at the arrivals area, holding a sign with your name. He’ll be wearing a short-sleeve shirt with the Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures embroidered logo on the left chest. A courtesy phone is available if needed.

Once you’re in the vehicle, Diego notifies the Billfish Inn that you’ve arrived and that all luggage is accounted for, then again as you approach the coast so our team is ready to welcome you. The scenic drive (approximately 1 hour 15 minutes) descends from the highlands to the Pacific through volcano-framed country — refreshments on board.

Smooth, In-House Transfers

We coordinate door-to-dock logistics so your arrival is effortless. Prefer to review options? See our dedicated page: In-House Ground or Air Transfers .

With the relatively low travel cost from most major U.S. cities, many clients book two shorter trips per year instead of one long one — increasing their chances of hitting those truly massive days. But if this is your only Guatemalan trip for the year (or foreseeable future), we recommend 4 or more full days for an action-packed adventure.

Typical Arrival Schedule

Most parties arrive in Guatemala City the afternoon or early evening before their first fishing day. Our driver will meet you at the airport, assist with your luggage, and bring you down to the lodge.

Spend your first evening enjoying the Billfish Inn comforts, then wake refreshed for a hearty breakfast and a full day on the water.
