Our Pacific bill-fish/sailfish fishing charters fleet is docked at the new marina named the Pez Vela Marina. This new marina uses the same outlet as Guatemala's main Pacific port, Puerto Quetzal, and is located next to it. This is the only sport fishing boat marina, on the Pacific coast, that has calm saltwater access without going though the dangerous old outlet near Puerto Iztapa, where boats need to stop and wait for the right set of waves that will allow their 'safe passage'. When out on a family sport-fishing vacation or with a group of buddies, do not put them at risk by “shooting the outlet”. Use the new marinas outlet with calm waters.
