Peter is passionate about fishing in the Caribbean. In the past, we often traveled to Los Cabos, Mexico, but this year we decided to try somewhere new and chose Panama. After thorough research, Peter found a reputable fishing charter called “Blue Lobster Fishing,” which exceeded our expectations—they were truly exceptional. Captain Melvin, who has an undeniable enthusiasm for fishing, took us to the Pacific where we consistently caught impressive groupers throughout the day. The weather was calm, making it a memorable “Pacific” experience. Later, we targeted red snappers with equal success. Marco not only assisted with fishing but also captured the thrilling moments on video. Receiving these videos the next day was a wonderful surprise.

Over seven or eight hours, we caught 15 fish—mostly groupers and three red snappers. The service didn’t end there: Marco went above and beyond by cleaning and freezing the fish exactly as requested. He even researched the best way for us to transport the catch home, providing the right-size cooler for use as luggage and delivering it to the airport with his wife. Their dedication was outstanding!

We will definitely recommend them to friends, and if you’re interested in fishing in Panama, we encourage you to reach out to Blue Lobster Fishing. As Captain Melvin says, Panama is the only place where you can fish across three oceans—the Pacific, Caribbean, and Atlantic—in a single day.

Captain Gustavo worked hard through all the wind to put us on the fish. We moved throughout the island to several different structures that produced fish. We caught several snapper, jacks, and saltwater catfish. Was very impressed with the way Gustavo was handling lining and catching fish to depths up to 100 feet. Overall, the trip was full of excitement and good times for my party of 4. We were even able to see a huge whale. Great times. Thanks Captain Gustavo. Professional all the way around. Our driver Alex even found us a place to cook up our catch. Thanks Alex.

I would highly recommend Blue Lobster boat for your next fising trip. The crew was very professional and even though we didn’t catch many fish it wasn’t for lack of trying. Captain Melvin took us to many fishing spots to try to catch fish. We finally had luck at the last spot catching 3 good sized grouper.

We caught a nice mess of Spanish Mackerel, a few Crevalle and a Barricuda. My only regret is that the Roosterfish weren’t hitting, but no one has any control over that! We weren’t successful in catching any live bait, I wish we would have brought some. That limited us to only fishing with lures. That would be the only thing I would change.

We had a great fishing day and we worked really hard aboard Blue Lobster! Captain Gustavo and crew never stopped fishing, and made sure I caught fish!  Captain Gustavo was super knowledgeable about the area and where to catch fish! I would highly recommend going out with Gustavo if you want to catch, and not just fish!
