    Fantastisk dag, fantastisk besætning, stram line

    Halvdagstur (morgensession) • 2 voksne

    Kaptajn Miguel og styrmand Lino var begge fantastiske - venlige, engagerende og fulde af viden om Panama, de lokale farvande, dyrelivet, historien og selvfølgelig den bedste måde at fange fisk på! Vi sejlede 30 minutter forbi lastskibene ved kanalindgangen til 100-fods dybden, hvor vi trollede og hurtigt havde en sortfinnet tun på krogen på ca. 5 minutter. Biddene var jævne over de næste 90 minutter, og vi landede 4 tun og en flot guldmakrel. Lino filetterede fisken for os, og vi endte med at nyde lidt sashimi og ceviche midt på formiddagen. Wow! Det begyndte at blive varmt, så vi sejlede til Taboga for en hurtig sightseeing, og så hjem igen. Det er Panama på sit bedste!

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 4 voksne

    Sikke en fantastisk tur! Klokken 8 om morgenen havde vi allerede fanget så mange fisk, at det begyndte at blive rutine, så vi sejlede videre for at lede efter mere sværtfangede fisk. Min søn håbede virkelig på at fange en guldmakrel, ligesom han havde gjort for år tilbage. Selvom det ikke lykkedes, endte vi med at fange 3 forskellige arter. Vores kaptajn, Miguel, var fantastisk! Han serverede frisk tun-sashimi direkte om bord på båden. Da vi stoppede ved Taboga til frokost, tilberedte restauranten, han tog os med til, noget af vores tun til os. Det var fedt at se så mange forskellige typer skibe i løbet af dagen og lære mere om, hvad hvert skib transporterede. Tak for en uforglemmelig dag!

    En fantastisk dag på vandet!

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 2 voksne

    Kaptajn Miguel og styrmand Pooras var fantastiske! De ved, hvordan man fisker, meget informative om landet og vidunderlig gæstfrihed!! Fangede en stor stillehavssejlfisk og en guldmakrel, som vi lavede lækker ceviche med om bord, og noget til frokost på Toboga Island. Fangede også en tun, som de lavede noget sashimi med, og desuden en havaborre. Havde flere fisk på krogen, som spyttede krogen ud, inden jeg fik dem om bord. Kunne ikke have været lykkeligere med oplevelsen på Blue Lobster med Miguel og Pooras. Jeg vil anbefale 8-timers charteret, fordi hver del af det var fantastisk! Jeg ville ikke have villet gå glip af nogen del af den vidunderlige oplevelse, de gav mig!! Så en fantastisk dag på vandet!!!

    Halvdagstur (eftermiddagssession) • 6 voksne

    Vi havde det fantastisk på vores fisketur. Bådturen ud var hurtig og super sjov. Miguel og Boris satte alt fiskegrejet op, mens vi bare nød os selv. Når en fisk bed, var det vores tid til at skinne. På et tidspunkt havde alle 4 liner en fisk. De guidede os og heppede på os, mens vi spolede dem ind. Vi fangede 8 fisk i alt, hvoraf 1 var en guldmakrel. Boris rensede den direkte på båden, og vi havde frisk ceviche inden for få minutter. Ville tage denne tur 100 gange igen. Vi havde det fantastisk. Kæmpe ros til Miguel og Boris for at gøre det uforglemmelig.

    Langsom dag, men et dedikeret besætning

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 1 voksen

    Jeg bookede den 8-timers tur i håb om at fange noget Guldmakrel eller Stillehavssejlfisk - Efter en lovende start døde aktiviteten ud. Kaptajn Miguel og Lino gjorde alt for at få mig på fisk, men det var bare en af de dage. De er meget vidende om områdets flora og fauna samt landet - så jeg lærte meget og så noget fantastisk dyreliv, mens vi forsøgte at få noget på krogen. Kpt. Miguel forklarede konstant sin gameplan, og i den sidste time ramte vi endelig fisk. Atlantisk crevalle og Plettet kongemakrel fandt vej ind i båden, og jeg nød en lækker sashimi. Alt i alt en fantastisk oplevelse. Man kan ikke bebrejde turoperatøren eller besætningen for en langsom dag og det affald, der flød i vandet, som resulterede i en 4-stjernet anmeldelse.

    Alt var virkelig godt undtagen udstyret. Båden og besætningen var fantastiske, men fiskeudstyret var forfærdeligt. Fiskeriet var ikke det bedste, men de arbejdede virkelig hårdt for at finde fisk. God oplevelse overordnet set. Opdater venligst stænger og hjul.

    Moises og Joel var fantastiske. Vi tog af sted i forårsferien og ønskede en tur kun for familien. Vi har drenge på 10 og 12 år. Vores yngste har tidligere haft problemer med søsyge, og jeg fortalte dem om det. De ændrede vores rute for at gøre turen så rolig som muligt, men stadig sørge for at de fik fisk på krogen. Det ændrede hans syn på offshore-fiskeri. Han har fået mere selvtillid og vil gerne ud og fiske offshore igen. Tak. Båden har WiFi midt ude på havet. Også Bluetooth til radio. Varmt anbefalet, og vi booker igen næste gang!

With high activity expected throughout the month, this season presents a fantastic opportunity for anglers to target a variety of prized game fish.

Our latest reports indicate that the mahi bite is in full force, and anglers are having great success. Additionally, sailfish and wahoo fishing remains excellent, with consistent reports of these powerful fish at the major banks and offshore areas. Yellowfin Tuna catches are also strong, with schools being found 50 miles off Panama City. Whether you are an experienced angler seeking a trophy marlin or a family looking for a fun day on the water, the abundance of species ensures a memorable trip. Limited-Time Bonus: A Majestic Marine Spectacle Enhance your yacht rental experience with an unforgettable, limited-time opportunity to witness one of nature's most impressive events: the Humpback Whale migration. From July through October, thousands of humpback whales travel from the cold waters of Antarctica to the warm, protected waters of the Panamanian Pacific. Here, they breed and give birth to their calves, making for an awe-inspiring sight. Why this is an unparalleled experience: A Sanctuary for Giants: The calm, tropical waters off Panama provide a haven for mother whales to nurse their young, offering a unique chance to see these majestic creatures up close. Peak Viewing Season: September is the peak month for whale sightings, with some tours reporting a 95% success rate.

Unprecedented Offshore Action!

Jun 2, 2025 • Panama City
The fishing offshore of Panama has been nothing short of phenomenal! We're thrilled to report that this isn't just for dedicated fishing charters! Even our yacht rentals, which allow you to enjoy the stunning Panamanian coastline and islands for leisure and exploration, have been reeling in some truly impressive big fish. The Bite is On! The past few weeks have witnessed an increase in activity in our offshore waters. The sailfish and tuna bite has been particularly hot, with multiple hookups reported daily. Our captains are skillfully navigating to prime fishing grounds, and the results speak for themselves. Unexpected Thrills on Leisure Charters What's truly remarkable is the consistent success experienced by guests on our luxury yacht rentals. While enjoying a leisurely cruise, perhaps en route to a secluded island or a vibrant snorkeling spot, the opportunity to drop a line has proven incredibly fruitful. We recently had a couple charter a yacht, and on their way to the Pearl Islands Archipelago, they decided to cast a few lines. In just a matter of minutes, they landed a massive Wahoo, a powerful Bull Mahi, and several Yellowfin Tuna! This incredible haul, achieved in a brief, spontaneous fishing session, perfectly illustrates the current abundance of our waters. We've also had reports of: Sailfish Madness: Several magnificent Pacific sailfish have been successfully fought and released by guests who decided to "give fishing a try" during their yacht charter. The thrill of hooking into one of these apex predators from the comfort of your private yacht is an experience truly unlike any other. * Tuna Triumphs: Large schools of Yellowfin Tuna have been abundant, leading to exciting battles and the reward of fresh, sashimi-grade fish. Our guests have been reeling in tuna upwards of 40-100 pounds, providing incredible fights and even better culinary experiences onboard. * Dorado Delights: Vibrant Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) has also been making appearances, adding splashes of color and feisty fights to the mix. These acrobatic fish are always a welcome sight and make for excellent table fare. Why Now is the Time to Book Your Yacht Adventure: This exceptional fishing activity, which extends even to non-fishing-focused yacht charters, underscores the incredible marine biodiversity and healthy fisheries that Panama boasts. For those considering a luxurious escape to the Pacific, now is the perfect time to experience the thrill of offshore fishing combined with the unparalleled comfort and freedom of a private yacht. Our experienced crews are well-versed in both navigating these beautiful waters and assisting with any unexpected fishing opportunities that arise. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a complete novice, the chance to battle a trophy fish from your private yacht is an unforgettable addition to any itinerary. Don't miss out on the chance to combine world-class leisure with world-class fishing. Inquire about our yacht rentals today and prepare for an adventure that might include the catch of a lifetime.

Fishing in Panama during the rainy seaso

Apr 19, 2025 • Panama City
This week, we have been getting the first few rains of the season. This means nutrient-rich waters from the warmer South Pacific will attract microorganisms, which will then attract the upper stages of the food chain, in other words, bigger fish. Pelagics like tuna, mahi, sailfish, and Marlin will be our predominant bites until November. This day, as we were passing the deepest waters on the way to the Pearl Islands, with an average of 200 feet deep waters, we encountered huge bait balls full of diving birds, which gave us the first indicator of fish around while deciding where to throw lines we spotted some dolphins. There's something that we can tell with dolphins: tuna. We started shifting our lures to cedar blocks on our trolling lines and had our spinning lines with poppers ready to cast them. Whenever we got a bite on the trolling Lines, we immediately cast those poppers and maximized tuna bites. Welcome to Panama game fishing mecca! Enjoy the footage of this beautiful day of tuna fishing in Panama.

What makes fishing so good in this Time of the year? The answer to this is all correlated, the predominant currents coming from the South Pacific deep sea trenches crash with the continental shelf creating a stream of upwelling, forming nutrient-rich regions, not only ideal for targeting pelagic fishes but also bring the visit off hump Back whales, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that only happens during a short period of time every year, so bring all you family on board, even nonfisherman because everybody Will have a blast!

Sail fish surpise!

Aug 2, 2024 • Panama City
The fishing species in Panama are pretty well marked mainly in 2 seasons: The rainy season is in the summer; this time, the waters get warm, which is best for sea fishing. The other season is winter, which is not a cold winter (same temperatures as summer), but it's when the water gets chilly. And we focus on deep-water species. However, between these marked fishing species seasons, there are unexpected species surprises! For example, since June, we've been getting a more active than usual number of sailfish on our bites. From half-day trips to Extended trips, the extended South Pearl Islands and full-day Pearl Islands have the most sailfish catches. We practice catch-and-release for this species, and when possible, we board the species for a nice picture and then release it. The most popular lures for attracting them have been Ballyhoo rigged with an artificial skirt and normal fake surface squids.
