Panama Yacht Tours - Isla Coiba Fishing, Hannibal Bank & the Aguja Reef
Panama Yacht Tours has several excellent options to offer the hard core angler for fishing the Coiba and Hannibal Bank area. We have personally fished with every outfitter we recommend in the coming sections.
Whether you prefer to be land based, on a mother ship and fishing off smaller boats or prefer the luxury of a sport fishing yacht, Panama Yacht Tours has an option for you...tried and tested!
LAND BASED OPERATIONS
The Paradise Fishing Lodge is a new operation in an unbelieveably central location to Coiba and the Hannibal Bank. The operation is new but the captains are well known and very experienced in all methods of fishing. The angler can experience great off shore fishing for Blue Marlin, Black Marlin and the prized, huge Yellow Fin Tuna that run in the late spring (in excess of 100 lbs). Capt. Bartolo and Capt. Chicho have been fishing these waters for a life time and can slow drift live bait, drag plastics, throw baits to the tuna schools, pop, yo-yo or bottom fish with live baits. They fish from a rigged 29' Proline and 26' Blue Fin. Off shore and in shore fishing in this area is second to none in Panama.
MOTHER SHIP OPERATIONS
There are two outstanding mother ship operations in the Coiba area. Both operations have their own niche and cater to the hard core angler. Both offer very well organized in off shore and in shore fishing. Lodging is aboard the mother ships and fishing is done aboard 26´ Ocean Masters or a 31´ Bertram or 47´ Buddy Davis.
Panama Yacht Tours is also proud to offer a VIP Angler Package. Lodging and Dining is aboard a luxurious 100´ Broward custom yacht and fishing is aboard a tricked out 58´Hatteras.
CEBACO BAY SPORTSFISHING CLUB
The Cebaco Bay Sportfishing Club was founded by long time, local, marlin fisherman, Jim Wiess and his partners. Capt. Wiess (aka Mr. Jimmy) is argueably one of the best marlin fishermen here in Panama and his passion for the sport resulted in a first class fishing operation based in Cebaco Bay, Isla Cebaco.
V.I.P. PRIVATE CHARTER (100´ Broward & 58´ Hatteras or 28' Baja)
This charter is truly a V.I.P. experience. The 100' Broward will act as the mother ship to the 58' Hatteras. The Broward (Turnin Left) is a beautiful mega yacht with a very luxurious appointments. The yachts can be chartered together or separately. The yachts are based in the Flamenco Marina in Panama City and can be reloctated to Coiba, Pinas Bay, Pedasi or even the Atlantic side.
