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

    PearlIslands Fisching & Beach on January 22, 2026 • 2 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

    Five Star Experience

    6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 23, 2026 • 6 adults

    Outstanding experience from start to finish! The Captain (Jose) immediately put our crew right on the fish, and the action never slowed down. We caught multiple Mahi Mahi and Bonito, and every fish was a great size. We were a crew of six and everyone caught fish. The Captain and First Mate (Omar) were knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip fun and memorable. If you’re looking for an exciting deep sea fishing charter that delivers results, this is the one to book! I would definitely book with them again!!!
