Fishing is widely enjoyed by people of all ages and genders. However, it is often seen as a classic activity for dads and their offspring to spend some quality time together. Fishing has deep historical and cultural significance in many traditions and can teach you valuable skills such as resilience, patience and a profound appreciation for nature. This passing down of knowledge and skills represents a precious bonding experience for families.
Why plan a father and son fishing trip

Booking a father and son trip in panama
Panama’s Pacific coast is renowned for its world-class sportfishing. The Pacific coastline is known to be one of the best places in the world to catch yellowfin tuna as well as billfish like marlin and sailfish. Many of our guests stay with us with the sole intention of landing their catch-of-a-lifetime. You can be sure that a father and son fishing trip in Panama will be one to remember.
The warm waters of the Pacific Ocean off Panama’s coast make it a year-round fishing destination. However, we believe the best time to visit is during the dry season (December to April) for excellent fishing opportunities and enjoyable weather. For guidance on the best time to visit us based on your target species, refer to our fishing calendar.
Traveling to Panama has never been easier, as international arrivals into Panama City (PTY) are growing. Several airlines (e.g. United, American Airlines) fly directly into Panama City. That’s why Panama has become a popular choice for those looking for an exotic yet accessible getaway.
