Why the Gulf of Chiriquí is a Premier Fishing Destination

The Gulf of Chiriquí is a quiet spot on Panama’s Pacific coast, full of marine life and natural beauty. With over 50 islands scattered along the coastline, it’s a great place for catching big fish like marlin, tuna, and sailfish.

Plenty of Fish: Whether you’re after a big marlin or looking to hook a yellowfin tuna, roosterfish, cubera snapper, dorado, or jack species, the Gulf has some of the best fishing around. Our captains know the best spots to make sure you have a successful day on the water.

Peaceful Waters: Unlike busier fishing areas, the Gulf of Chiriquí is calm and uncrowded. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature without distractions. You might even spot dolphins, seabirds, and whales during whale season.

Beautiful Surroundings: Besides great fishing, the islands around the Gulf are home to beautiful beaches, colorful coral reefs, and protected areas like Isla Coiba. It’s a perfect getaway for anyone who loves nature.

At Panama Sport Fishing Charters, we focus on creating a fishing trip that fits your personal needs.

Whether you prefer a luxury suite with an ocean view or a cozy boutique hotel with local charm, we make sure your trip is just right for you.
