plANNING YOUR GROUP FISHING TRIP IN PANAMA

1. Understanding your Group’s Preferences and Goals:

Start by discussing your group’s expectations, interests, and fishing goals. Do you prefer deep-sea fishing, inshore fishing, or a mix of both? Knowing your group’s preferences will help tailor the trip.

2. Choosing the Right Time to Visit:

Research Panama’s fishing seasons to determine the best time to visit for your target species. Whether it’s catching a trophy black marlin, sailfish, yellow fin tuna or snapper, timing is crucial for a successful catch. You can refer to this fishing calendar for the best season by species.

3. Accommodations and Fishing Charters:

If you’ve got 15 or more people interested, contact us in advance to book your accommodations and fishing charters. Generally, our guests book between 1 year and 18 months ahead to avoid disappointment. We have 5 sportfishing boats including BlackFins and center consoles. Similarly, we have several accommodation options to suit singles, couples, families and friends. Selva Terra’s sister brand, Panama Nautical Club offers one of the best all inclusive Panama fishing trips in Central America.

For fishing groups under 15 people, you can contact our sister brand Panama Nautical Club.

4. Consider Customizing your Fishing Experience:

Work with our staff to customize your fishing excursions. They can arrange specific activities, such as fishing tournaments or guided expeditions.

5. Plan Group Activities and Bonding Time:

While fishing is the main focus, don’t forget about downtime and group bonding. Other activities like beach barbecue parties at our beach bar, snorkeling, hiking, island hopping and more, are all available during your stay.

6. Packing:

Advise your group on what to pack for the trip. Fishing gear will not be needed as we supply top-of-the-line equipment. We also have an extensive selection of custom lures, teasers, and terminal tackle. We do however suggest bringing appropriate fishing clothing, that provide good sun exposure. Encourage your group to pack lightly and efficiently.

7. Prepare Appropriate Travel Documents:

Ensure your group has the necessary travel documents, insurance, and any required vaccinations. Your passport needs to be valid at least 6 months prior to expiry in order to enter the country. Provide contact information for local medical facilities in case of emergencies.
