Pearl Islands Charter Company has another boat in their fleet for you. It’s easier than ever to book the fishing trip of your dreams. Join the experienced crew in Amador Causeway and start the journey you’ll remember for a long time. There’s a variety of great spots you can visit, from Taboga and Taboguilla islands to far offshore areas, which are up to 70 miles off the coast.

You’ll be fishing on a 33’ Grady White walkaround that accommodates up to 8 guests. Recently restored, this boat is powered by twin 300 HP Mercury engines and reaches the speed of 24 knots. To make each trip more comfortable, the boat has a private toilet, a kitchen, and a multimedia system. The vessel is also equipped with top of the line Raymarine GPS and Fishfinder, a live well, outriggers, and tuna tubes.

Depending on the season, you can target lots of different species, such as Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Roosterfish, Tuna, Wahoo, Snapper, Grouper, and many more. They also require a different approach, so you’ll have a chance to try out different techniques and find your favorite one.

The crew makes sure that the best fishing equipment is available on the boat, so you’ll be using Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa rods and reels. They’ll also bring a variety of lures and bait and cover your licenses and bottled water. Feel free to bring other beverages and food of your choice.

Light tackle Mayhem!
Light tackle Mayhem!
April 7, 2024
At the request of our client, we went out with the intention to catch a Roosterfish even though the season hasn't really started and chances were very slim!. We managed to catch a couple of very small hardtails to be used as bait. Then we proceeded to slow troll live bait close to shore in areas where we had caught Roosters before. While slow trolling we started casting swimbaits... In no time we had an Albacore on, and fish kept biting until it was time to come back! What an amazing day! Our guests casted the whole day! They put in the work and it paid off... tight lines!
