    Fantastisk dag, fantastiskt besättning, spänd lina

    Halvdagstur (morgonsession) • 2 vuxna

    Kapten Miguel och styrman Lino var båda fantastiska - vänliga, engagerande och fulla av kunskap om Panama, de lokala vattnen, djurlivet, historien och naturligtvis det bästa sättet att fånga fisk! Vi körde 30 minuter förbi lastfartygen vid kanalens inlopp till 30-metersbottnen där vi trollade och fick napp på en svartfenad tonfisk på ungefär 5 minuter. Nappen var jämn under de följande 90 minuterna och vi landade 4 tonfiskar och en fin Mahi Mahi. Lino filéade fisken åt oss, och vi avslutade med lite sashimi och ceviche på förmiddagen. Wow! Det började bli varmt, så vi körde till Taboga för en snabb titt runt, sedan tillbaka in. Toppen av Panama!

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 4 vuxna

    Vilken fantastisk utflykt! Vid 8-tiden på morgonen hade vi redan fångat så mycket fisk att det började kännas rutinmässigt, så vi fortsatte för att leta efter mer svårfångad fisk. Min son hoppades verkligen på att fånga en Dorado (Mahi Mahi) som han hade gjort för några år sedan. Även om han inte fick någon, lyckades vi ändå fånga 3 olika arter. Vår kapten, Miguel, var fantastisk! Han serverade oss färsk tonfisk sashimi direkt ombord. När vi stannade vid Taboga för lunch lagade restaurangen han tog oss till även till en del av vår tonfisk. Det var häftigt att se så många olika typer av fartyg under dagen och lära sig mer om vad varje fartyg transporterade. Tack för en minnesvärd dag!

    En fantastisk dag på vattnet!

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 2 vuxna

    Kapten Miguel och styrman Pooras var fantastiska! De vet hur man fiskar, var mycket informativa om landet och visade underbar gästfrihet!! Vi fångade en stor segelfisk och en Dorado (Mahi Mahi) som vi njöt av som läcker ceviche ombord, och lite till lunch på Toboga Island. Vi fångade också en tonfisk som de beredde sashimi av, samt en grouper. Flera fiskar till högg men spottade ut kroken innan jag fick upp dem ombord. Kunde inte ha varit nöjdare med upplevelsen på Blue Lobster med Miguel och Pooras. Jag rekommenderar 8-timmars fischecharter eftersom varje del av det var fantastiskt! Jag hade inte velat missa någon del av den underbara upplevelsen de gav mig!! Vilken dag på vattnet!!!

    Halvdagstur (eftermiddagssession) • 6 vuxna

    Vi hade den bästa tiden på vår fisketur. Båtresan ut var snabb och superkul. Miguel och Boris ställde upp all fiskeutrustning medan vi bara njöt. När en fisk nappade var det vår tur att glänsa. Vid ett tillfälle hade alla 4 spön en fisk på kroken. De guidade oss och hejade på oss när vi drog in dem. Vi fångade totalt 8 fiskar, varav 1 var en Dorado (Mahi Mahi). Boris rensade den direkt på båten och vi hade färsk ceviche inom några minuter. Skulle ta den här turen 100 gånger om. Vi hade en kanontid. Stort tack till Miguel och Boris för att de gjorde det oförglömligt.

    Lugn dag, men ett envist besättning

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island • 1 vuxen

    Jag bokade 8-timmars turen i hopp om att få napp på Dorado (Mahi Mahi) eller Segelfisk - Efter en lovande start dog aktiviteten av. Kapten Miguel och Lino gjorde allt för att få mig på fisk, men det var helt enkelt en sådan dag. De är mycket kunniga om områdets flora och fauna samt landet - så jag lärde mig mycket och fick se en del fantastiskt djurliv medan vi försökte få något på kroken. Kpt Miguel förklarade hela tiden sin spelplan och under den sista timmen fick vi äntligen napp. Jack Crevalle och Spansk makrill hittade sin väg in i båten och jag njöt av en god sashimi. Överlag en fantastisk upplevelse. Man kan inte klandra researrangören eller besättningen för en långsam dag och skräpet som flöt i vattnet, vilket ledde till ett 4-stjärnigt omdöme.

With high activity expected throughout the month, this season presents a fantastic opportunity for anglers to target a variety of prized game fish.

Our latest reports indicate that the mahi bite is in full force, and anglers are having great success. Additionally, sailfish and wahoo fishing remains excellent, with consistent reports of these powerful fish at the major banks and offshore areas. Yellowfin Tuna catches are also strong, with schools being found 50 miles off Panama City. Whether you are an experienced angler seeking a trophy marlin or a family looking for a fun day on the water, the abundance of species ensures a memorable trip. Limited-Time Bonus: A Majestic Marine Spectacle Enhance your yacht rental experience with an unforgettable, limited-time opportunity to witness one of nature's most impressive events: the Humpback Whale migration. From July through October, thousands of humpback whales travel from the cold waters of Antarctica to the warm, protected waters of the Panamanian Pacific. Here, they breed and give birth to their calves, making for an awe-inspiring sight. Why this is an unparalleled experience: A Sanctuary for Giants: The calm, tropical waters off Panama provide a haven for mother whales to nurse their young, offering a unique chance to see these majestic creatures up close. Peak Viewing Season: September is the peak month for whale sightings, with some tours reporting a 95% success rate.

Unprecedented Offshore Action!

Jun 2, 2025 • Panama City
The fishing offshore of Panama has been nothing short of phenomenal! We're thrilled to report that this isn't just for dedicated fishing charters! Even our yacht rentals, which allow you to enjoy the stunning Panamanian coastline and islands for leisure and exploration, have been reeling in some truly impressive big fish. The Bite is On! The past few weeks have witnessed an increase in activity in our offshore waters. The sailfish and tuna bite has been particularly hot, with multiple hookups reported daily. Our captains are skillfully navigating to prime fishing grounds, and the results speak for themselves. Unexpected Thrills on Leisure Charters What's truly remarkable is the consistent success experienced by guests on our luxury yacht rentals. While enjoying a leisurely cruise, perhaps en route to a secluded island or a vibrant snorkeling spot, the opportunity to drop a line has proven incredibly fruitful. We recently had a couple charter a yacht, and on their way to the Pearl Islands Archipelago, they decided to cast a few lines. In just a matter of minutes, they landed a massive Wahoo, a powerful Bull Mahi, and several Yellowfin Tuna! This incredible haul, achieved in a brief, spontaneous fishing session, perfectly illustrates the current abundance of our waters. We've also had reports of: Sailfish Madness: Several magnificent Pacific sailfish have been successfully fought and released by guests who decided to "give fishing a try" during their yacht charter. The thrill of hooking into one of these apex predators from the comfort of your private yacht is an experience truly unlike any other. * Tuna Triumphs: Large schools of Yellowfin Tuna have been abundant, leading to exciting battles and the reward of fresh, sashimi-grade fish. Our guests have been reeling in tuna upwards of 40-100 pounds, providing incredible fights and even better culinary experiences onboard. * Dorado Delights: Vibrant Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) has also been making appearances, adding splashes of color and feisty fights to the mix. These acrobatic fish are always a welcome sight and make for excellent table fare. Why Now is the Time to Book Your Yacht Adventure: This exceptional fishing activity, which extends even to non-fishing-focused yacht charters, underscores the incredible marine biodiversity and healthy fisheries that Panama boasts. For those considering a luxurious escape to the Pacific, now is the perfect time to experience the thrill of offshore fishing combined with the unparalleled comfort and freedom of a private yacht. Our experienced crews are well-versed in both navigating these beautiful waters and assisting with any unexpected fishing opportunities that arise. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a complete novice, the chance to battle a trophy fish from your private yacht is an unforgettable addition to any itinerary. Don't miss out on the chance to combine world-class leisure with world-class fishing. Inquire about our yacht rentals today and prepare for an adventure that might include the catch of a lifetime.

Fishing in Panama during the rainy seaso

Apr 19, 2025 • Panama City
This week, we have been getting the first few rains of the season. This means nutrient-rich waters from the warmer South Pacific will attract microorganisms, which will then attract the upper stages of the food chain, in other words, bigger fish. Pelagics like tuna, mahi, sailfish, and Marlin will be our predominant bites until November. This day, as we were passing the deepest waters on the way to the Pearl Islands, with an average of 200 feet deep waters, we encountered huge bait balls full of diving birds, which gave us the first indicator of fish around while deciding where to throw lines we spotted some dolphins. There's something that we can tell with dolphins: tuna. We started shifting our lures to cedar blocks on our trolling lines and had our spinning lines with poppers ready to cast them. Whenever we got a bite on the trolling Lines, we immediately cast those poppers and maximized tuna bites. Welcome to Panama game fishing mecca! Enjoy the footage of this beautiful day of tuna fishing in Panama.

What makes fishing so good in this Time of the year? The answer to this is all correlated, the predominant currents coming from the South Pacific deep sea trenches crash with the continental shelf creating a stream of upwelling, forming nutrient-rich regions, not only ideal for targeting pelagic fishes but also bring the visit off hump Back whales, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that only happens during a short period of time every year, so bring all you family on board, even nonfisherman because everybody Will have a blast!

Sail fish surpise!

Aug 2, 2024 • Panama City
The fishing species in Panama are pretty well marked mainly in 2 seasons: The rainy season is in the summer; this time, the waters get warm, which is best for sea fishing. The other season is winter, which is not a cold winter (same temperatures as summer), but it's when the water gets chilly. And we focus on deep-water species. However, between these marked fishing species seasons, there are unexpected species surprises! For example, since June, we've been getting a more active than usual number of sailfish on our bites. From half-day trips to Extended trips, the extended South Pearl Islands and full-day Pearl Islands have the most sailfish catches. We practice catch-and-release for this species, and when possible, we board the species for a nice picture and then release it. The most popular lures for attracting them have been Ballyhoo rigged with an artificial skirt and normal fake surface squids.
