Fishing in Bocas del Toro, Panama
Captain Marcel has run fishing charters in Bocas del Toro since 2016. We fish all year, for 1 to 4 people. You don't need any experience: we bring the boat, the gear and the local knowledge.
What you can catch
Most trips fish inshore for tarpon, king mackerel, yellowtail jacks and barracuda. When the weather allows, we go offshore to jig for snapper and grouper, some of the best-eating fish in the sea. King mackerel here are usually 5 to 14 kg, and unlike many Caribbean spots, barracuda in Bocas are good to eat. We choose spots by season and weather, and move on if the fish aren't biting.

Tarpon fishing in Bocas del Toro
Tarpon are the main event. They jump, fight hard and can weigh 50 to 160 lb. Tarpon season runs from July to April. Read more about tarpon fishing in Bocas del Toro.
Half-day and full-day fishing charters
A half-day charter is about 5 hours: we leave at 6:30 am and are back around 11:30 am. The first hour we catch live bait, then we fish with live bait and spinning gear. A full-day charter gives you more time on the water and can add snorkeling and a stop at the Zapatilla Islands or Bird Island. Compare our Bocas del Toro fishing charters.
Prices
Charters are priced by the hour for up to 4 people, gas included: $120 per hour in high season (December to April) and $100 per hour the rest of the year. Food and drinks are extra on full-day trips. Trips can be customized.
How to book
