About Your Trip
Get ready to chase big game and big thrills with Captain Dave on this action-packed offshore fishing charter in the world-renowned waters of Panama’s Gulf of Chiriquí! With a fast and powerful 27’ Boston Whaler powered by twin 300 HP Mercury engines, you’ll be heading out to some of the most productive offshore fishing grounds in Central America—including Isla Secas, Isla Ladrones, Isla Montuosa, and the legendary Hannibal Bank.
These fertile waters are a magnet
for hard-fighting pelagics like Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even massive Blue and Black Marlin. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the offshore scene, Captain Dave is ready to guide you through an unforgettable day on the water.
You'll be fishing using a variety of techniques tailored to the day’s bite, including trolling live and dead baits, running lures, and trying your hand at popping and jigging—a hands-on style that’s as thrilling as it gets. If you've never experienced a surface strike on a topwater popper or battled a fish in deep water with a heavy jig, you're in for a treat. And don’t worry—Captain Dave is happy to show you the ropes!
This trip is perfectly suited for groups of 4 to 6 anglers, with top-tier gear, tackle, and electronics on board to give you every advantage on the water. Captain Dave and his skilled mate will be right there with you to coach, assist, and celebrate every catch.
On top of world-class fishing, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch, tasty snacks, and a cooler full of cold drinks—including sodas and cervezas—so you can stay refreshed and fueled up between bites.
If you're looking for a true offshore adventure in one of the most exciting fisheries on the planet, this trip with Captain Dave is the one to book.
As with most other professional charter services worldwide, we release all Billfish, Roosterfish, and other slow-growing or rare fish unharmed.
We are proud members of The Billfish Foundation, International Game Fish Association, Panama Marine Resource Foundation and APAPDETUR for Professional Fishermen in Panama.
