Casa Vieja Lodge was built over twenty years ago as the private retreat to one of Guatemala's most prominent sporting families. Today, Casa Vieja Lodge is a classically styled sportsman's retreat sure to delight guests who've fished the world over. Also, the lodge is surrounded by landscaped gardens and tropical foliage providing the ultimate in privacy. Casa Vieja is the ultimate retreat after a day on the water - designed by lifelong sportsmen who believe that world-class fishing deserves world-class accommodations - regardless of how far you are from home. The first floor of Casa Vieja is the air-conditioned restaurant, featuring the finest cuisine on Guatemala's Pacific coast and a bar equally adept at preparing a dry martini as well as a Mojito. The lodge's 18 bedrooms have either a King size bed or two Queens featuring luxurious linens and pillows, allowing Casa Vieja to host up to 35 guests. Each bathroom features step in showers and spa type bath products. Casa Vieja is currently the nicest of the 3 facilities we represent in Guatamala, and also has the highest percentage of American captains and English-speaking crew.

Casa Vieja Lodge offers a waterfront view, full service bar, pool, and lovely, landscaped grounds. Rooms are air conditioned and have satellite televisions and sliding doors leading to the pool and patio.

At Casa Vieja, Sailfish are abundant year round and the fleet has averaged raising more than 20 billfish per day per boat - YEAR ROUND! Casa Vieja's records show 40 plus sailfish release days have been experienced in every month of the year. Days with finicky or non-aggressive feeders are few and far between! The larger sailfish up to 150 pounds are usually taken during the Fall, but for pure volume of 80 - 100 pound fish, December through June tends to be the rule. During this time you'll be tantalized with 20 - 40 bites per day and, on some of those exceptional days, more than 100!

If you like to play the numbers, while targeting sailfish, Casa Vieja boats usually encounter a marlin about every third day during the year, however more can be seen by requesting a strictly marlin venture! Casa Vieja has lots of football size tuna and dolphin in the 20 - 40 pound range and impressive sized roosterfish are plentiful along the coastline within minutes of the docks. A day of inshore fishing can be an excellent way to round off your trip.
