Panama Charter Fishing Fleet

 

Our Panama charter fishing trip provides for some of the most exciting sport fishing in the world. When you are looking to book an excursion for a Panama fishing trip, you need to make sure that your hosts have a high-quality fleet of boats so you can have the best sport fishing experience. At El Rio Negro lodge we take pride in our fleet of Panama charter fishing boats.

Our fishing fleet is made up of four boats:

  • El Pescadora, is a 33-foot Custom built Centre Console V-Hull with 2019 Twin Yamaha Outboard Engines.
  • EL Wuandungo, is a 33-foot Custom built Centre Console V-Hull with 2018 Twin Yamaha Outboard engines.
  • Senor Magoo, is a 33-foot Custom built Centre Console V-Hull with 2018 Twin Yamaha Outboard Engines.
  • Caribe Pro, is a 28-foot V-Hull with Twin 2014 Suzuki Outboard Engines. 
  • El Suai is a 28-foot Bertram Sport fisher with 2014 Twin Suzuki Outboard Engines. 

All five boats are maintained in a pristine condition.

When you book a fishing charter in Panama, it is important that your operator have appropriate navigation, communications and safety equipment. All of our boats are equipped with dual Garmin GPS and CHIRP Sonar equipment. Each boat also contains an Immersat satellite phone and an emergency position indicating radio beacon (“EPRIB”) to ensure quick and clear contact with rescue services in case of an emergency.

Our boats also contain complete first aid kits and safety gear. Our captains and crew are all trained in how to use this technology and equipment to make sure your Panama charter fishing experience is exciting and safe while bending rods.

Each of our boats is equipped with live wells and customized tuna tubes. This allows you to keep large bait alive, an absolute necessity when you are fishing Panama’s tuna coast and Coiba Islands Hannibal bank.

Each boat is also loaded with a wide assortment of mix game lures, including poppers, jigs and lipped lures. We also make sure our boats are stocked with all the best fishing gear including Shimano stella spinning reels, Shimano saragossa reels and an assortment of AVET conventional reels for jigging and live bait.

Our spinning and conventional reels are matched with temple reef jigging and popping rods.

Finally, we know that when you are looking for a Panama fishing vacation, you expect your day out on the sea to be comfortable and convenient. We have cushioned seating with fold-out chairs and bean bags which accommodates groups of four anglers per boat. Each person on board also has his or her own coolers loaded with beer, water, soda, lunch and snacks.

We realize that you have a choice among fishing lodges in Panama, so we make sure that you have the best and most well-appointed fleet for your day out on the water. We look forward to you joining us for an exciting Panama charter fishing experience.
