Fishing Expedition Panama 

 XC9G+2VC Panama City, Panama City, Panamá

Hoping to catch some fish in Panama City? Make it happen, with Fishing Expedition Panama! With Captain Manuel at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Broomtail Grouper, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Roosterfish, Sailfish, Cubera Snapper, Bluefin Trevally, Almaco Jack, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Kids are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your vessel for the day is a 26' World Cat 266SF catamaran that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Fishing Expedition Panama will make it easy for you to go fishing in Panama City. So, how about booking that trip?
