Just had the most awesome afternoon out on the bay for a fishing trip! The boat was in top-notch condition, and the crew was super friendly and helpful. We had some excellent gear, and they really knew their stuff. The captain, in particular, was a pro. He knew exactly where to find the best fishing spots, and he took us to this area where we landed a ton of mahis. It was like he had a sixth sense for where the big catches were hiding.

What made the trip even more enjoyable was the captain’s excellent English. He didn’t just navigate the waters skillfully; he also made sure to explain everything in detail. From the different types of fish we were likely to encounter to the intricacies of the fishing gear, he had us covered. It added an educational touch to the whole experience, making it not just a fishing trip but also a fascinating lesson in marine life. And hey, we even got to take a detour to Taboga Island, which was an unexpected and delightful bonus. Highly recommend this experience – great boat, great crew, and an all-around fantastic time. Can’t wait to do it again!

Miguel, captain and Moises were our hosts for the day.  Both were very well versed in English.  They worked hard for us to catch delicious fish, even preparing extra fresh mahi mahi ceviche on board.  Miguel is a people person, displaying a broad knowledge of subjects.  Kept us well informed throughout the day, and more importantly guided us to rich fishing locations having many good battles with mahi mahi and tuna amongst other species.  Miguel is also a great spokesperson for Panama in general - recommending good restaurants, locations to visit, etc.  Highly recommended crew!

Everything was absolutely amazing on our adventure! I caught a jack fish right away and the captain and crew exceeded any expectations we had. They were so excited when I caught my fish and hilarious and made us feel so comfortable! And it was just me and my best friend (who are women ) and they were so respectful and caring! I cannot recommend this enough!!!

The fishing trip was a total blast! The crew’s vibe was awesome, and we all had a great time together. From cracking jokes to helping out, it was a day full of positive energy. The Mahi were biting like crazy, and we ended up hauling in a bunch of them. The non-stop action made it a killer fishing day, and the camaraderie just added to the fun.

Overall, it was more than I expected – a perfect mix of good company, thrilling catches, and a hell of a good time!

Quiero dar las gracias a todo el equipo de GEM charters por hacer de nuestro día de pesca familiar una experiencia inolvidable. Teniendo niños a bordo la tripulación estuvo siempre atento a las necesidades y preguntas de ellos, les enseñaron a pescar y tuvieron la paciencia necesaria para manejar la emoción de nuestros pequeños pescadores primerizos. Además, nos hicieron un ceviche fresco con un yellowfin tuna que capturamos, que estuvo espectacular. Creería que el ceviche más fresco y delicioso que he probado en mi vida. Igualmente el servicio en tierra fue excelente, Eddie nos esperó pacientemente en la marina, nos asistió en todo y además nos asistió en el proceso del booking por el cual tomamos la decisión de tomar el paseo de día entero a Taboga, el cual fue una excelente decisión. Es hermosa, cercana a la ciudad, con excelente pesca en los alrededores y el destino ideal para ir con niños o personas mayores.
Gracias por todo!
