This from Alex, one of the Franzen Bachelor Party Group:
“Incredible experience! Everything from the Lodge, service, food, down to the fishing exceeded all expectations. I was invited on the trip with some friends, note really knowing what I was getting myself into. I’m so glad I went! The Lodge was incredible with nice rooms and an awesome gathering hall (palapa/rancho). The fishing was incredible and the boats/capts/crews/photographer were all way above expectations. I will definitely return for future trips!!”
That’s 571 billfish releases for our anglers fishing out of the Lodge from December 27th through to January 16th. This is looking like one of those seasons not to miss out on. We still have some openings in March so get in touch and get in on Guatemala’s incredible fishery.
