Come aboard Sunrise Charters Panama for a family-run fishing adventure in the stunning waters of Cebaco Island. Explore the crystal clear seas, where you’ll be in awe of the nature, colors, and incredible fish.
Captain Jairo will use his more than 15 years of fishing experience to get you to the rich fishing grounds, while his wife, Constanza, and son Andres Felipe will make sure you have everything you need for a productive day out.
“La Piragua” is a 24’ panga-style boat, offering you a traditional Latin American fishing experience. She was custom-built for fishing these waters, boasting a center console that provides plenty of space and sight for all sorts of fishing. She’s remarkably stable, keeping you afloat in all conditions, while the GPS system and fish finder will make sure you get on the fish.
Speaking of the fish, the rich waters offer up plenty. Within just 25 minutes from port, you’ll get your fish on around the stunning tropical island, targeting big, tasty fish like Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Snapper, Jacks, and many more game fish. Test your angling skills as you cast away and bottom fish or let the trolling lines do the work.
The hard-working crew promise to make you feel a part of the family, so don’t hesitate to get in touch regarding anything you want. Snorkeling gear can be provided free of charge, while you can also rent some spearfishing equipment. With a cleaning and filleting service on offer for a limited number of fish, there’s nothing left for you to do but come aboard.
Grab some drinks and snacks to fill the onboard cooler, and up to 4 people can come aboard and settle in for a fishing experience like no other. Book your spot, invite your friends, and enjoy the ride with Sunrise Charters Panama!

Full Day Trip – Cebaco Island
We were seeking yellowfin so that's exactly what we caught. Our fishing guide and captain was most knowledgeable and accommodating. I proposed to my fiancé the day before and this could not have been a better celebration. We caught nine yellowfins and one bonito. At the end of the trip, my fiancé wanted to go for a sierra so our captain took us on an extra 1.5-hour journey around the island where we saw beautiful coastlines but no more fish. Even then, our captain still trolled slowly around the entirety of the island to show us a good time. Thanks guys! We recommend this to any family, fishermen, or fun-seekers.

Full Day Trip – Cebaco Island
Initial plan was to go and spend the day on a sandy and lonely beach at Isla Cebaco - snorkeling was amazing. On our way we met and played with dolphins, and we caught one Tuna Albacore. Lots of fun for parents and young adults. Do not hesitate, even though you do not speak Spanish, Cpt Jairo and team will find ways to share their knowledge

Full Day Trip – Cebaco Island
Had a great day out with Captain Andres and his crew. One of his crew members actually jumped out of the boat to catch a fish with his bare hands that broke my line as I was reeling it in...amazing! The fishing islands we went to were gorgeous as well. If you're near Punta Chame I highly recommend Captain Andres and his crew.
