Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge 

 Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge, Boca Chica, Panamá

Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge is your perfect getaway. Stay at a private island lodge on Isla Paridas and enjoy a professional fishing trip with Captain Juan and his fantastic crew.

Isla Paridas is 12 miles off the Pacific coast of Panama and is the closest to the famed Hannibal Bank, Isla Montuosa, and Coiba. Get ready for epic Tuna and Marlin battles or explore the fishing grounds inshore and get your hands on Cubera Snapper, Roosterfish, and Almaco Jack. Fed by the nutrient-rich waters of the Humboldt Current, these spots are any angler’s dream.

The crew caters to discerning anglers who are looking for upscale private accommodations with gourmet food, a highly-maintained fishing machine, and top of the line gear and tackle. Just go through the pictures and take a look at the guest house – it has all the comforts of home, from air conditioning and hot water to high-speed internet. When staying there, you will have the finest fishing grounds almost in your backyard – they are just 12 miles offshore. The only thing that’s missing is you!

Your boat will be a 33’ World Cat catamaran, a clean, seaworthy fishing machine that you will fill with Tuna and Mahi Mahi. The catamaran comes powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines and is fully outfitted with everything you need for a productive day of fishing.

Enjoy your day (or days!) in this “off the grid” spot, surrounded by the jungle in the middle of the Gulf of Chiriqui National Park. Create memories that will last a lifetime.

Captain Shane Jarvis first came to Panama back in 1999. He wanted to see what the fuss was all about since he had heard all of the great stories about incredible catches and abundant waters of the Gulf of Chiriqui. An avid recreational fisherman and outdoorsman from Florida, Shane was hooked. His father decided to buy a property on the island, which Shane helped to build. Since 2005, his lodge has been providing guests with the perfect opportunities to leave all the problems behind and catch big fish.
