This was an awesome fishing trip. GEM Charters made it very easy to book online and communicate with them every step of the way. We were on the 27’ Proline and Miguel and Berdie were well prepared. We set out at 7am and caught fish on first cast drifting through bait ball. Weather was perfect, overcast skies. Went to a nice restaurant for lunch on Taboga Island where they prepared our catch. Afternoon was slow but overall trip was a blast. I will definitely book again on my next trip to Panama.

Hello Peter, amazing day at sea…always welcome aboard!
We had a great trip. Warm reception and a lot of time fishing. We caught a few spanish mackerel right from the start but most of the day was trolling without success.. Thats the breaks!!! Got some great pictures of a large group of Dolphins and had a little place on Taboga Island fix up our catch to eat. Miguel offered a lot of information about Panama, the canal and set us up at a nice cove for a swim and fixed up some great ceviche using some of our fresh catch..
Hello Daniel! It was a pleasure having you and your family on board with us! Keep us in mind for future visits to Panama, whale watching and fishing tournament season coming soon!
Thank you! I live here in Panama so I’m always here. I will not give a review on Tripadvisor as it would not be a favorable one and here’s why. We spent almost two hours trolling in the shipping lanes without a single catch. We asked the captain often if we could relocate to increase our chances. We were told “another 20 minutes and we will move” several times. Around the 2 hour 20 mark of the trip, he relocated up where eventually caught 2 fish. I personally would’ve preferred to drop line and bottom fish to give all 8 of us a better experience, but I was told they will ONLY troll. This left us all feeling we just paid $650 for a 4 hour boat ride. No Bueno!!!
