“First class exotic fishing experience.”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2013

I’ve filmed shows at many lodges all over the world and this is definitely among the best of the best. The rooms and food are first class and pool and jacuzzi overlooking the incredible view are the best I’ve ever experienced. I really liked having high speed internet access in my room as well. We caught quality Black Marlin, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Crevalle Jack and snapper in just a few days of fishing. The boats are top notch and I really like my captain and deckhand. This lodge is for those who expect the best.

If your looking to fish,relax,eat great food, I truly recommend Panama Big Game.I have fished in different parts of the world and Panama tops it as far as variety and huge species,it’s truly Jurrasic Park out at Montuosa. Islas Secas offers great fishery of Roosters,Cuberas,Wahoo’s and Dorado. If you want to fish 50 miles out for your record Marlin and giant Yellowfin Tuna or inshore for screaming reels and beautiful scenery,Panama Big Game I truly recommend. Victor and the crew were spectacular,from booking the trip,to the VIP treatment all the way to Panama Big game.Great pool,jacuzzi,daily laundry service, you don’t need much to fish/stay at Panama Big Game everything else is taken care off,just get there 5 star all the way around.

“Can’t wait to return”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2013

Would highly recommend to my fishing buddies, family, and friends.

1. Fishing was great…..caught my first marlin…..400 lb black marlin along with cubera and tuna. We limited our fishing to big game. Skilled captain and mates with good equipment and boats.
2. Accommodations were excellent. To call this a simple lodge with cabins would be an understatement. The place is a resort with bungalows. Every comfort imaginable. Large comfortable bungalows with wifii, refreshment center, large screen smart tv, leather lounging area, spa like bathrooms, and soft down bedding.
3. Amenities included large beautiful pool with swim up bar and large screen tv. Pool and spa overlook the countryside and waters below. Great place to relax after a hard fishing day. Gathering place was the top of the hill watering hole. With its large bar, tv, and tables, it provided a perfect place to enjoy the company of our fellow guest, our meal or simply enjoy the towering view of the countryside and waterways with entertaining tree hanging wild monkeys.
4. Staff was great. No request was denied. Meals were filling to the stomach as well as the sight. Mr. C, Victor, Carlos, captain, and chef were great host.

I truly look forward to returning for another great fishing vacation.

“Father Son Fishing Trip of a Life Time”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2013

Words cannot describe this trip. The fishing, accommodations, their team, food, drinks, as well as the owner are amazing. To many fish to mention but will try; we got a huge black marlin 500lb, huge yellow fin 200+ (plus other smaller ones), big cubera snapper 50, big mullet snapper 40, whahoos, dolphins, and other inshore fish. I have own a boat in Florida and have fished for 25 years and again words can not describe this trip.

My father and I had so much needed bonding time and found the perfect place; Panama Big Game Fishing Club. It’s secluded on a private island. If we were not fishing we were in the pool or the hot tub talking about our great day, getting ready for our next and most importantly my father and I became our best friends again as we used to be.

Thank you all so much and we cannot wait to be back.

Mr. C sorry for such a long message but not only did you give us the best fishing trip we could ever dream up; you brought me and my father back to where we used to be; my best friend and hero.

To all others we planned on staying for 4 nights but stayed for I think 8 or 10 bc of how much fun, great bonding and insight from Mr. C.

Again thank you so so much! I prayed for something like this to get us back together and you did it.

Mr. Victor you are amazing as well….

“A Jungle Gem”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2013

June 21, 2013 was my third visit to Panama and Panama Big Game Fishing Club. It is hard to believe but each visit has been as exceptional as the previous visit. From the attention Starlite Travel showers upon their clients arriving in Panama City to the greeting from Victor in the David airport, to being chauffeured by boat by Narcisso and Tati, and then being greeted by Carlos with cocktails….. travel to PBGFC is a pleasure.

Victor, Carlos, Chef Eric are superb in taking care of all the wishes and desires of the guests. Carlos even remembered that I enjoyed a margarita on the rocks without salt after a successful day of fishing! Victor made sure that we had Panamanian beer on every boat as requested….. In which Narcisso and Tati made sure I had a cold one in my hand after every successful landing (and sometimes before and in between)!

The accommodations have always been superb. Neat, clean, and complete with wifi. The bedding has always been superb – firm mattresses, quality pillows and linens. I had the pleasure of staying in the Lodge this last trip and felt right at home. Thank you Victor! I was even delivered dinner one evening when I decided not to go up to the club for dinner. That was very thoughtful Carlos, Victor and Chef Eric!

The fishing is so unbelievable I don’t think I can do it justice in words. One has to experience the fishing at PBGFC to believe it. But I can say that Tati and Narcisso are the best team of capitains at PBGFC and I love the Bertram. I have fished with them exclusively on all three trips and love to watch the teamwork and respect these two express for one another while trying to make sure their fisherwomen (men) catch the BIG ONE in Jurassic Park….. “Reel, reel, reel, reel, reel reel, reel, reel…….” I miss the fresh tuna on the return boat trip back to the club to the afternoon appetizers by or in the pool. (That is why I didn’t eat dinner most nights)!

The monkeys even put on a show for us this trip every day. They even came down to say “good bye” to us on our departure morning!

The food is out of this world – spectacular! Never had an unsavory morsel on all three trips.

Thanks again first and foremost Bop, then Victor, Tati, Narcisso, Carlos, Chef Eric, Victor’s mom and all the staff at PBGFC! Three trips I will never forget, and hope for more to come (my son went for Christmas and is begging to return)! I told him if he made good grades in high school maybe we would return for him to catch the BIG ONE. Tosh

Our group went to Panama Big Game Fishing Club resort at the end of June 2013. The staff was exceptional, the food was amazing, and the fishing was fantastic. There was not a detail left undone. The facility was up to date and clean. WiFi available and people always willing to help us have a successful day of fishing.

Panama Big Game Fishing Club exceeded my expectations in every way! The fishing was so much fun, thank you Captain Tati and Narcisso. The meals were spectacular thanks to an inventive Chef Eric…I’m still dreaming about his passionfruit cheesecake. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The cabins were spotless and comfortable. Victor does a wonderful job managing the operations on site and takes care of every detail. Carlos is always smiling and happy to bring a cocktail. What an adventure! I would love to go back tomorrow!!

If you like to fish, this is a bucket list destination. If you don’t like to fish, but you love someone who does, this is a bucket list destination. We went back with Dr. P. I did not think we could too our first trip in Feb. 2012, but we had a blast. EVERYONE who works with this resort is professional, kind, friendly, and fun. I was so excited to arrive to see everyone again – Thanks to Victor!!! Carlos, Chef Eric, Tati, Narcisso, etc etc. It is an amazing place. The accommodations are amazing. The food delicious, fresh, phenomenal. The views beyond description. And the fishing…. the fishing… I don’t know how I could ever go fishing anywhere else. Marlin, Tuna, Rooster, Wahoo, Dorado… fun, fun, fun. Thank you very much Victor for making it a perfect, memorable trip. Please tell Mr. C thanks — he has created heaven on Earth!
