5.00This was hands-down one of the most fun experiences I’ve had in Panama! From start to finish, the trip was incredible. Our boat captain was not only super knowledgeable and friendly—he even brought us breakfast! Total legend. We caught somewhere between 25 to 50 fish (we lost count because it was nonstop action!). The variety and excitement were amazing. On top of the fishing, we got to see monkeys swinging through the trees and massive ships passing through the Canal—it was the perfect mix of nature and engineering marvels. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip in Panama, do it—and try to get this captain. He made the whole experience effortless, relaxing, and unforgettable.
Great time fishing

5.00We had a great time. Took the wife and 4 year old son and had a blast. We caught 50+ peacock bass and a few snook. Highly recommend fishing with these guys. Will be coming back.
