Despite the exotic location of spending your week 50 miles out to sea, our 78’ Panama mothership provides a surprising amount of creature comforts during your stay. The converted barge features 4 air‐conditioned rooms, each with four comfortable beds (three twin beds and one full sized bed). The award‐winning chef will cook you three fresh meals a day, many of which are the freshest catch‐of‐the day that you and your fellow anglers bring back. There are also two full bathrooms with hot water showers, daily laundry service, and a full cash bar. When you aren’t fishing you’ll spend most of your time on the open‐air deck at the bow of the boat where you will eat your dinners, enjoy a daily happy hour & appetizers, and share drinks & stories with your fellow anglers.

World class fishing is what the Panama mothership is all about, and they do it well. You’ll spend your week fishing aboard their 27’ Ocean Master center consoles at world famous hot spots like the Hannibal Bank, Montuosa Island, and of course all around Coiba Island itself. All boats are equipped with the best Shimano spinning tackle and heavy duty Penn International 50# and 80# reels, live wells, tuna tubes, fighting belts, and all the lures & gear you’ll ever need. The captains are experienced, energetic, and have come up through the ranks so they know these waters and these fish as well as anyone.

Each and every day you fish it is your call what species you want to target and what method you want to try. Options include bottom fishing with jigs or chunk bait, casting crank baits, speed trolling rapalas, slow trolling live bait, trolling plastics for black and blue marlin, or of course everyone’s favorite – casting poppers and surface plugs for anything from yellowfin tuna to cubera snapper. Because the mothership will be anchored right by the fishing grounds this will give you another 2‐3 hours of fishing each day and avoid long run times that the land-based lodges must do each day. If anyone wants or needs an afternoon or a full day break from the fishing you can go kayaking, visit secluded island beaches, snorkel inside the Coiba Island National Park, or visit the now‐famous Coiba Island penal colony – the most feared penitentiary in Panama’s history.
