There’s nothing better than feasting on fish you caught by yourself! Sofimar Charters will do their best to put you on fish and help you have the best meal of your life! With Captain Melvin Arrocha Pimentel at the helm, you can be sure your day on the water will be an adventure you’ll never forget.
Join Captain Melvin on his 25’ custom-built skiff, docked at the Diablo boat ramp, right at the entrance to Panama Bay. This vessel accommodates up to 4 guests and has all necessary navigational electronics and safety equipment. Children of all ages are welcome but for the Otoque Island Tour, they have to be at least 14 years old.
There’s plenty of locations to choose from, with all of them being both great fishing spots and sightseeing places. The captain can take you to Otoque, Taboga, Taboguilla, and Uraba Island, depending on what you want to catch and how much time you have. You’ll target Mahi Mahi, Mackerel, Tarpon, Roosterfish, Snapper, and many more.
Use the opportunity to experience these beautiful, turquoise waters first hand – by snorkeling! Simply request snorkeling equipment in advance and the captain will prepare it for your trip. Your fishing equipment is also included in the price and with it also come lures, baits, and snacks. After the trip, the captain will clean and fillet your catch free of charge.
Sofimar Charters welcome you regardless of your fishing experience. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with Captain Melvin, even if you’ve never held a rod before. He’ll make sure you have a great time, learn something new and have your first catch.
