Blues in Guatemala & Costa Rica
The blue marlin season is amongst us at Casa Vieja Lodge. Take your pick of what destination you want to catch them in! In Guatemala, you’ll average 3-5 blue bites during your 3 days of fishing, whereas in Costa Rica FAD fishing you’ll average 10+ blue bites over 3 days of fishing!
The difference between the two fishing trips is that in Guatemala you’ll return home daily and be waited on by Casa Vieja Lodge staff. In Quepos, Costa Rica you’ll sleep offshore aboard The Hooker, 48′ G&S, to fish multiple FAD’s and partake in the Super Bowl of blue marlin fishing.
Whatever you desire, we’re here to help make it happen. Speak with Kirsten or Christian in our Miami Office and we’ll help make your fishing dreams come true!

Booking for 2022
We’ve officially been re-opened now for 9 months and we want to thank every one of you once again for your support and gracious attitude to join us back out on the water. We absolutely love what we do, and we are beyond grateful that you choose us to Experience 5-Star Angling.
Thankfully, our booking calendar is just about normal again which means reservations are made 6-12 months in advance. November and December dates are just about sold out. A friendly reminder that if you normally fish with us in the winter and spring, please reserve your 2022 dates as we are welcoming many more new clients to the Casa Vieja Family!
