Amazing Panama Experience - 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.

An adventure being in Panama - 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.

We had a wonderful day on the water with Moises and Alfredo as our captain/guides! - 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!

Do not skip this trip while visiting Panama - 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!

Tried to salvage a tough day on the water - 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.
