Gifts For Grads & Dads
If you have children or grandchildren that are graduating, show them how proud you are with a trip to Casa Vieja Lodge for their graduation gift! This once in a lifetime trip will build lasting memories and allow your child to experience action packed, adrenaline filled fishing, and is a guaranteed way to get them just as excited about fishing as when they caught their first fish!
Over the past two years during, June and July, we have raised an average of 18 billfish/day, so there will still be many fish for both you and your children to reel in as well! Plus yellowfin tuna, dorado, and blue marlin are in the mix to give you some fishing variety, along with the typical flat calm seas to make the fishing experience nothing but fun for everyone onboard.
For the best of both worlds, double down and turn this trip into Father’s Day expedition too! Dad doesn’t need another boring tie or more cologne, but we don’t think he’ll ever get bored of billfishing! To make things even better, during June and July we offer a 15% discount! Call our Miami Office at 1-800-882-4665, or Email us for availability.
Talk the Talk
The 2017 No Sancocho Sailfish Shootout this November 16th-18th is hands down the best tournament in Guatemala! This tournament is focused on fun and camaraderie, but don’t talk up your big game as you must put your money where your mouth is! Every Sancocho (missed bite) will cost the angler $20 which is donated to the local primary school, Santa Cecilia. You can read more about past tournaments HERE. We guarantee you will have a blast starting with our daily dock water balloon fights, followed by a great day of fishing, onto the night’s activity, and the tournament concludes with a pig roast, fireworks, awards, and yes the almighty No Sancocho King or Queen! Every angler gets a bag full of elite merchandise from Costa del Mar, YETI, Simms, and Capt Harry’s Fishing Supply.
There are only a couple boats left for this prestigious tournament. Pick up your April Issue of Power and Motoryacht Magazine and get the latest glimpse into the Fishing for Kids, by John Brownlee. CLICK HERE to read more.
