Flamenco marina
Panama City, Panamá

Make some memories in Panama City and go fishing with A Bordo Panama. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Grouper, Skipjack, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sierra Mackerel, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with A Bordo Panama are great for kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your day begins aboard a 30' Wellcraft convertible with room for 8 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with A Bordo Panama?

best day fishing ive ever had
9Hour PearlIslands Fisching & Beach on January 22, 20262 adults
jose, jorge, and fernando were the best crew ive ever gone fishing with ive never had more fun then with these guys. it started off awesome even tho i was late they were happy to see me. as soon as me and my girlfriend got on we talked to the whole crew the entire time. they put me on fish right away and were so stoked when i got one ended up catching a monster mahi mahi and like 6 tuna. sadly my girlfriend got sea sick and instantly the whole crew was checking on her and worried offering anything they could like dramamine, blanket, bed, snacks, water etc. we ended up going back to an island where she could reset and we ended up eating and talking and swimming for over 2 hours and i didnt even wanna go back fishing cause these guys are so awesome. we ended up going back out and fish werent biting so we went and looked at the panama city skyline which is the most beautiful skyline ive ever seen. ill never forget this day and ill be back next year. most fishing guides are really good but these guys are my favorites of all time. highly recommend these guys they go above and beyond

Hi Jacoby, Wow — thank you so much for this incredible review! Reading your words truly means the world to us. We're beyond happy to hear that you had the best fishing day of your life with José, Jorge, and myself. We're especially glad you felt welcomed from the very beginning and that you enjoyed both the fishing action and the overall experience on board. Catching a monster mahi-mahi and several tuna is something to remember forever! 🎣 We're also really happy that your girlfriend felt taken care of when she got seasick. Her comfort and safety are just as important to us as catching fish, and we're glad the island stop, swimming, and relaxing time helped turn the day into something special for both of you. Thank you as well for your kind words about our service and going above and beyond — that's exactly what we strive for every single trip. We will be counting the days until you come back next year. You'll always have a spot on our boat here in Panama! Tight lines and big hugs from all of us, Fernando & The A Bordo Panama Team 🎣🇵🇦
