Day Charters
Boca Chica fishing day charters.
A world-class, all-inclusive sport-fishing day in the legendary waters of the Gulf of Chiriquí — seamless from the dock to your fillets at the end.
Whether you'd like to depart from your hotel's dock or the Boca Chica public dock, we make the day seamless, comfortable and unforgettable from start to finish.
Your private charter includes an English-speaking captain and mate, premium tackle and gear, live bait, ice, bottled water, sodas, fresh fruit, chips, delicious sandwiches and cold beer — everything you need for a first-class day on the water. At the end of the trip, our crew will clean and fillet a portion of your catch for you to enjoy later.
Our all-inclusive rate is $2,350 per day for up to five anglers. Pickup is at 7:00 AM, with return typically between 4:30 and 5:00 PM — a true full-day experience in one of Panama's most productive fisheries. We do not offer half-day charters.

7% sales tax is included. Rates do not include staff tips — we recommend $300 per day, per boat, for the captain and mate. If they do a great job, tip more; it's always appreciated.
Bringing fish home
Travel-ready fillets, vacuum-sealed and frozen.
We'll fillet, vacuum-seal in 3 mm 10″ × 12″ bags, and freeze a portion of your catch — just $15 per bag, and perfect for traveling. We recommend bringing a Yeti Hopper-style tote or a small 30–40 quart cooler. You can also buy one of our coolers at the lodge for $50 or $80.
We base our fuel costs at a max of $6.00 per gallon; a surcharge applies, with advance notice, only if fuel exceeds that. We highly recommend trip insurance through our partners at Global Rescue.
Before you book
Cancellation policy
Due to our limited size, cancellations affect us greatly, so we adhere to a strict policy. Payments are refundable for cancellations received in writing at least 150 days prior to your arrival date, less a $650-per-person cancellation fee. Within 150 days of arrival, all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable.
If an act of God, travel ban or pandemic causes a cancellation, we'll reschedule within 12 months at no extra charge. And if bad weather arises and your captain determines, for safety, that the trip shouldn't run, you'll receive a credit for that day's fishing on your next booking.
