Your Fishing Charter

Panama GEM Charters takes you fishing around the iconic waterways aboard their speedy and reliable 27’ Proline. 

Whether it’s Pearl Islands Archipelago, 20 Fathom Trench, or Taboga Island, you can sample some of the finest game species here, including Mahi and Wahoo, and much more. And, no matter how skilled you are, the crew will gladly accommodate you and help turn your fishing day into a lasting memory.

When you come onboard, you will find a selection of fishing gear, soft drinks, water, and beer. The crew will supply all the safety gear, tackle, lures, and bait. The boat can take up to 8 people who will have enough space to fish but also enjoy the view and the ride. The boat is equipped with twin 150 HP Yamaha engines, GPS, a fishfinder, as well as a toilet, an ice box, and a multimedia system.

Anglers onboard can try trolling or bottom fishing and the crew will make sure you have a productive day. Just one look at the photos of the catch and you’ll see how big these Mahi can get. There are also big Tunas, tasty Snapper, and massive Amberjacks. The captain will advise what works best according to the weather and what you want to catch.

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, as well as a camera. You may want to bring some extra layers of clothing just in case. Book your spot, invite your friends, and come for a blast!

This charter is located in Panama City, Panama (Central America, not Florida).

On this half-day trip, we will do trolling, popping, and jigging. You will have enough time for a glimpse at what Panama waters have in store and maybe even come back with a nice catch. It could be anything from a Mahi Mahi to a Snapper, Mackerel, and much more. The crew will supply all the gear, as well as soft drinks, and some beer. You should bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera. This package is great for novice anglers, families, and groups of friends on vacation.

Half Day Trip (morning session)

Half Day Trip (afternoon session)

Trolling/popping/jigging fishing trip. We will head to the Taboga Island and 20 Fathom Trench which are excellent fishing grounds for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other game fish. You will head out up to some 20 miles offshore or less and will have a good chance to come back with a hefty catch. The gear is supplied onboard, as well as some juice, beer, and water. You should pack sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera. This is a good option for avid anglers.

Full Day Trip – Taboga Island

Head to the Pearl Islands Archipelago and sample some of the finest fish that these fisheries hold. There are many Wahoo, Mahi, Mackerel, and Snapper here and you're going to love it. The scenery is striking and experienced fishermen will have enough time to explore the waters. The gear is waiting for you onboard, but you should bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera. Pack some food while you can get some drinks onboard.

Full Day Trip – Pearl Islands Combo

Departing from Panama and cruising up to 60 miles to the main continental drop to battle big game pelagics like Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin, and Roosterfish for coastal fishing. This is the ultimate fishing experience in Panama! Therefore, a super early departure and a late return are necessary. We can either spend all day in the open sea, or we can make a quick stop for a swim around noon at the nearest island and even try some coastal fishing.
