“The fishing trip to Guatemala held at Casa Vieja Lodge exceeded all expectations. I enjoyed meeting my fellow anglers and the 4 instructors. The Lodge, staff, boat captains and crew were of the highest standard. The fishing included marlin, sailfish, dorado and yellowfin tuna up to 90#. I wish to give a shoutout to Jennifer Dudas, the organizer of the event who was always available to ensure that every angler’s expectations were met.”
“Marlin University is a great way to learn and improve one's fishing skills from the best of the best Marlin U instructors. Had a fun and awesome time. Casa Vieja, in Guatemala, was on point with EVERYTHING they had to offer. We are definitely going back. Thank You!”
“Marlin U is the best opportunity I have found to travel to different locations to fish. You fish some of the best locations at the right times, best boats, and excellent accommodations. Having the instructors on board is a huge plus no matter your experience level. Learning from their experience makes is all that much more special of a trip. By fishing a different boat each day and a different instructor each day almost assures you will see and hear something new to help grow your experience level. Highly recommend.”
