GEM charters and Captain Miguel always succeed in delivering magical experiences. As repeat customers, we highly recommend their services. Captain Miguel’s extensive experience and knowledge of the best spots for big fish, whale watching, snorkeling, and secret locations make every trip unforgettable. For example, during our most recent trip, we went fishing. We had a fantastic time, although we all had little experience, getting lots of Mahis, Snappers, Mackerels, and tuna Bonita. We also enjoyed... More

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...

We had an absolute blast! Booked a 10 Hour Big Game trip. Came from Texas to get some of our bucket list fish and they delivered! The Captain Miguel and Alfredo were awesome!

Thank you guys so much!

We did island hopping in the archipelago, and it was just amazing. Snorkeling in completely deserted islands in crystal clear waters was incredible!... More
