Panama
Panama is a territory where we are permanently based.
Not to “do Panama”, but because this country still offers what has almost disappeared elsewhere: space, wilderness, life, and above all, real freedom of movement.
Here, two oceans face each other. The Caribbean Sea and the Pacific.
TERRITORY 01 · PACIFIC
Pacific Coast
A change of world.
The base sits on the Gulf of Chiriquí coast. Thirty hectares facing Coiba Island, inside the national park. Access is restricted, the surrounding sea protected. A position that exists in very few places on earth.
Roosterfish, yellowfin tuna, black marlin. Wahoo, cubera snapper, mahi-mahi. Jacks casting, sometimes from the beach. And much more.
Since 1994, the capture and export of fish associated with coral reef zones has been permanently banned in Panama. The result: abnormal density. Surgeonfish the size of a serving tray. Blue parrotfish exceeding ten kilograms, present in mass on every dive. Depths from 5 to 70 meters, reef or open blue, teeming from the first meter. On the Pacific coast, we came across cubera snappers exceeding fifty kilograms. Fish that command respect, that we chose not to shoot.
Hannibal Bank. One of the two or three most renowned areas in the Northern Hemisphere for black marlin. A seamount where currents concentrate all pelagic life. We go when the conditions are right.
Here, we read the sea. We choose our windows. Sometimes, we accept to walk away.
TERRITORY 02 · CARIBBEAN
Bocas del Toro
Nine islands, fifty-two cays.
Caribbean water, mangroves, biodiversity with no equivalent in the region. Bocas is a territory known the world over. Not without reason. We know the place intimately. We know where to go, and when.
Shore jigging and popping at first light or at sunset, feet in the golden sand. Blue jacks, bigeye, pompano between five and fifteen kilograms hunting in the shorebreak. Howler monkeys call back from the tree line. The jungle begins where the beach ends. Nocturnal surf casting by firelight. Tarpon, cubera snapper, barracuda, snook. Offshore runs, discovering the archipelago islands and their fishing and spearfishing spots.
For most expeditions, Bocas is where it ends. Not as a stopover. As a deliberate change of pace.
After the committed Pacific sessions, the pre-dawn departures, the offshore runs, the bivouac — Bocas shifts the tempo. Comfortable rooms, air conditioning, jungle, white sand, wildlife everywhere. Good restaurants. Lively spots for those who want action, secluded and calm for those who prefer something else.
Massage, surfing world-class breaks, paddleboarding, horse riding, shopping, yoga, pilates, live concerts, quality DJs, Caribbean and reggae festivals. Bocas offers a thousand things beyond fishing…
WILDLIFE
Everywhere
Caimans in the mangroves. Sea turtles nesting on the beaches or grazing the reefs. Sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, capybaras, anteaters.
Life is everywhere. Not as backdrop. Permanently.
THE EXPERIENCE · BIVOUAC
Out of time
Deserted islands, by sailboat or lancha depending on the winds, far from the world and close to world-class spots. Exceptional kayak sessions. Fire on the ground. Grilled fish. Jungle on all sides. Unforgettable fishing and spearfishing sessions.
Available on both territories. Gulf of Chiriquí islands on the Pacific side, or island camps in the Bocas archipelago. Priced separately, arranged on request.
