Full Day Trip – Taboga Island on August 12, 2024

The best boat trip for the whole family, with fishing and whale watching. We had an incredible sunset. And not to mention the crew that took care of us - the best service from departure, during the trip, and all the way back to Panama. Without a doubt, this is a charter we'll book every time we return to Panama. It's an excellent activity for kids because they enjoy the fishing and being out on the water 🙌🏼

Taboga island fishing day with captain Oscar and Joel
Full Day Trip – Taboga Island on August 12, 2024

Incredible day with my family in Taboga island. We were a family of 7 with 2 babies of 3 and 6 months and felt safe the entire time. After only one hour fishing we catch an amazing 200lb sailfish and after a couple more hours a Spanish mackerels. We were also lucky enough to see whales and dolphins. An experience we will never forget!! Special shotout to Joel and Oscar!!

Had a great time and experience with Captain Oscar and First Mate Joel. Great boat. Landed a nice Amber Jack within the first 10 minutes of dropping the lines. Will come back for a full day or overnight trip with GEM Charters and on the Mango with the same crew.
