There are several reasons to visit Panama and fishing is one of the top ones. Dura Vida charter service is here to show you how great this fishing scene is and to help you catch a trophy you'll be proud of. Leave the sandy beaches for a day and set off to the depths with Capt. Esteban. He'll find great fishing spots in no time and share some of the tricks only local anglers know.

You'll be fishing on a 32' Grady White boat that accommodates up to 8 guests. This offshore boat works great for long distances, since she's powered by twin 350 HP Yamaha engines and can reach a maximum speed of 38 knots. The boat has a private toilet, an enclosed cabin with air-conditioning, and a basic galley. Even a full day trip will be a comfortable one!

There are lots of different techniques you can use to catch fish and it all depends on what you're going after. Bottom fishing is the best choice for Snapper and Grouper, while trolling works great for Mahi Mahi and different types of Tuna. You can also go after Golden Trevally, Amberjack, Mackerel, and many more.

Your captain will cover all fishing equipment you'll need and clean your catch free of charge. You'll need to purchase your fishing license and bring food and drinks. Since it gets quite hot at the open sea, make sure to bring your sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses.

Dura Vida offers family-friendly trips, so you can spend the day of fun and excitement with your loved ones. Just pick a date and think about what you want to catch!
