We would like to invite you to experience spectacular sailfishing with Panamax, one of the oldest running deep sea charter companies in Guatemala with packages including comfortable transportation, gourmet meals, luxurious lodges and so much more. Here in Guatemala, the world's deep-sea fishing mecca, what makes a Panamax Sailfishing charter different? The Que Vela 34’ center console is up close and personal with the fishing action! The quiet Suzuki outboards keep noise to a minimum and no diesel fumes! Also it gives one the ability to walk around the whole boat when that jumping twisting sailfish is ON! It is especially worthy during multiple hookups! Our package not only includes a layover day when you reserve between Dec thru April but is significantly less expensive than the other charters! The beauty of the layover day is if it looks like there may be a choppy wet day in the forecast or the fishing has been slow you can have a day to relax under the palm trees by the pool, do a half day rooster fishing trip along the coast or a moderate climb up to an active volcano, Pacaya or perhaps a day trip to Antigua, a World Heritage Site. Lay Over Day Options.


The layover day will really help make sure you are getting the best opportunity to make the most of a great deep-sea sport fishing experience on your Guatemalan adventure. Also our packages are all inclusive! All meals (of gourmet quality), a self-serve bar at the lodge and all transportation are included. Just check out our reviews on Trip Advisor!
