I had a group of 15 fathers, sons, and sons-in-law at PNC for three days and nights. All of my guests raved about the trip. The staff were amazingly friendly and professional. The lodging was first class. The food was outstanding. The boats were very well maintained, with great captains and talented mates. The fishing gear was top shelf, Avet reels and custom rods. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Panama Nautical Club.
I cannot say enough about Cala Mia Resort and Panama Nautical Club. We were there the 2nd week of the December and had the entire place to ourselves. The resort is breath taking; the island views, the beautiful landscaping, the howler monkees and birds all magical. The service was impecable (thank you Michael for waiting on us hand and foot and putting up with all our silly questions). The fishing was fantastic. We caught marlin, sailfish, roosters, cabera, mahi; every trip was professionally planned and executed. The boats, equipment and professional guides were all top notch. We absolutely loved our bungalow overlooking the ocean. It was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Oh and the food was fantastic. Thank you David for arranging every detail for our truly wonderful vacation. I hope we can make it back there someday.
Our second trip to this resort and would only go here if fishing in Panama again. Accommodations are clean, with amenities, private villas all of which have decks overlooking the ocean. Food is fantastic along with open bar. Service at it's best! This was a fishing trip with my two sons. We had great catches on well maintained boats and professional captains. Caught a bucket list 500+ Marlin. Highly recommend.
I almost never leave reviews, but Panama Nautical Club and its staff were so outstanding, in every regard, that they deserve one. From arrival in Panama City to departure from same, and all events in between, this is a truly first class act. The lodging was spectacular, modern and immaculate, the food better than that in almost all high end restaurants, and the staff (both on shore and fishing boat crews) were friendly, helpful and knew their stuff. I spent 4 of the 5 days at the lodge fishing, my girlfriend spent the time on short reading, bird watching, doing yoga, getting massages, and kayaking. It worked great for both of us, and we can't wait to go back.
Panama Nautical Club & Cala Mia Resort exceeded our expectations. From the moment that we arrived to Panama City up to the arrival to the resort; everything was flawless and every detail was taken care by them. We are already planning to return there. The resort is in excellent conditions and is located on a beautiful island with a privilege's location. The food is outstanding! Many activities available for entertaining everyone in the family. I went there for the fishing experience; everything else was a plus. The boats are in excellent shape as well as the fishing equipment. The captains and the mates know their duties and perform them well. Fishing is kind of a lucky thing, but when you are with the right team on your boat the odds are in your favor. Congratulations to David and the excellent team that he has put together to help him to create good memories for all the visitors.
