Getting To Panama Game Fishing

Your flight destination will be Panama City. From there, a short charter flight to David and you will be greeted by one of our staff, who will drive you to your hotel. Your fishing experience will begin with Breakfast at 5am. Your boat will leave the dock around 6am and return around 5pm. Our captains are experienced, very knowledgeable, friendly and bilingual. They have fished these waters their entire lives and will tailor the days to your preferences. Lunch, snacks and beverages are provided. Let us know if you have any preferences or special requests.

David is Panama's third largest city and the capital of the Chiriqui Providence, located 40 minutes from the Costa Rican border. It is home to over 100,000 people. We are nearby to shopping and excellent medical facilities with bilingual doctors, should an emergency arise. Everything you should need is close by. The local currency is the US dollar, called the Balboa. Don’t bring many large bills ($50 and up,) as they are difficult to change here, requiring ID and paperwork. We recommend you bring twenty dollar bills and smaller. Many of the merchants also accept MC/ Visa and American Express.

The Panamanians are very friendly, wonderful people. They will do just about anything to help you out if needed. No one will beg you for money or harass you. Dress the part and respect their culture. Crime here is very low so don’t be concerned. Our experience here has been wonderful with a more secure feeling than in most cities statewide. The police are particularly helpful and friendly here as well. Spanish is the predominant language in Panama as in all Central American countries. Although it certainly helps to know some Spanish, many locals here do speak English; especially merchants, airport personnel and taxi drivers.
