Book your next trip with White Marlin 1 and find out what the fishing in Panama City is all about. Captain Yovani will be your guide, which means you'll tap into their angling experience.

Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Broomtail Grouper, Wahoo, Cubera Snapper, Mullet Snapper, Yellowfin Tuna, and more can be found in these waters, depending on conditions. During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Trips with White Marlin 1 are great for kids, 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. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to keep 'em happy!

You'll be welcome aboard a 29' Mako sportfishing vessel with space for 5 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Yovani has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Now, come aboard with White Marlin 1 and get hooked!
