Tour Options
Itinerary
You will be able to cruise around Panama Bay and enjoy the city's skyline, the Canal anchorage and will see the Panama Canal's operations from the Pacific side. There's also the possibility to do some inshore fishing in the Bay's area, targeting several species throughout the year.
There's also the possibility of some action-packed deepsea fishing in the famous Twenty-fathom area, between Taboga island and the Pearl Islands archipelago.
As private charters go, you get to decide whether you'll like to chill on the beach (Taboga has three great beaches), do some snorkeling or explore its picturesque town. Taboga has the second oldest church on the continent and is a historical and cultural landmark. There are also some great seafood restaurants to have lunch. If you prefer to skip the visit and focus your day on fishing, you can do that as well!

Such an amazing day. I always wanted to see Panama in all its beauty and we were able to do it all. When we were having fun snorkeling they tailored the itinerary to allow us to do just that. Then we had a super fresh lunch with a whole fried fish for me, brought to the shore so we could enjoy it on the boat. And then still had time to explore the islands. This is worth every penny. 10/10.
Thank you for the great review! We had a fantastic time with you and hope to see you again in the future. There’s always more to explore, and we’d love to take you out again!
The boat was very good the staff were very nice and professional but were not bilingual like advertised which made communication very difficult. We made the most of the day but I do not think they were fishing experts based on what I saw with how far back from the boat we were trolling the size of hooks and bait for even bottom fishing, but it was hard to communicate where or what to just try to catch anything for the kids. I understand fish are not promised. So we went to the beach to swim and got stung by jelly fish as we swam into the island and beach. Apparently they are prevalent this time of year and you can’t see them. We finally gave up as we were trolling in the middle of the ocean and they did take us towards the canal which helped salvage a rough day on the water. Once again staff was great and boat was great but were hard to have a personal experience with lack of communication. The only guy that spoke English came and got the final payment and pushed us out to sea. That was just our experience but met others that had very good ones.
Thank you for your honest feedback and for choosing us for your trip. We’re always looking to improve, and your comments help us do just that.
GEM charters is professionally managed and the staff is responsive and trusted. We had a great trip with our Captain Miguel who was accommodating, flexible, and very knowledgeable about the area and history.
We’re so happy your family enjoyed the day with us! Until next time!
Miguel was amazing & very accommodating. We will be booking a private charter with Miguel again. And thank you for the birthday cake! It was such a nice surprise :)
We truly appreciate your review! Thank you for choosing us for your father's birthday! Knowing that you enjoyed the experience means the world to us. Looking forward to your next trip!
Best experience ever. Miguel and Alfredo were amazing. We saw whales , caught fish, swam and snorkelled. Our family of five can’t wait until we can come back and will definitely go with this company again.
We’re so happy your family enjoyed the day with us! Creating great memories is what it’s all about, and we’re honored to have been a part of yours. Until next time!”
It was simply AMAZING! We had a beautiful day fishing, I caught two fishes, plus the amazing scenery watching humpback whales, a group of dolphins jumping around and two turtles mating. What an experience!
Thank you for the great review! We had a fantastic time with you and hope to see you again in the future.
Panama is a beautiful country, very clean and safe. We stayed 5 days in a resort 2 hours from the city to enjoy the Pacific beaches and returned to the city for 3 days to enjoy the tours as most tours depart only from the city. We went to San Blas, beautiful but very rustic special for adventure lovers. We knew the Panama Canal, this walk should be done preferably in the afternoon. Albrook Mall is for a whole day, good deals.
¡Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras! Fue un verdadero placer tenerlos a bordo. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron la experiencia. ¡Esperamos verlos pronto para otra aventura!
All amazing, highly recommended! Super professional crew and good fishing... found a good spot to fish, spotted dolphins
¡Nos encanta saber que han tenido un super trip de pesca! Ha sido un placer tenerles a bordo.
A great day on the boat! We enjoyed fishing around the islands, swimming in a cove, exploring and lunch on Tabago, and sunset cruise up the canal and around the city. Moises and Alfredo were great captains/guides and had the boat stocked with ice, beer, water, and Gatorade. Moises even made our reservations for lunch and arranged for our golf cart transport on the island. We loved every minute of our trip!
Thank you for your kind words! Our team strives to provide warm and professional service, so we're happy to hear you enjoyed your time with them. See you on your next trip with us!
A great experience, even tho it rained (just for a little bit) the crew made everything work perfectly. We were treated like royalty and I'm absolutely sure we will return. This is the best Charter Company in Panama for sure!
