SHELTER BAY MARINA
We dock our boats at Shelter Bay Marina, a former U.S base just outside Colon, Panama. This is where our guests depart for and return from the Belen River Tarpon Lodge.
BOATS
Our fleet consists of two boats custom built to our unique needs and specifications.
Our Tarpon 26 was custom-built by Andros BoatWorks (Sarasota, Florida) and combines the ride and stability of a traditional offshore boat with the shallow running capabilities of a flats boat. Its 26’ 2” in length with an 8’ beam and features a 40 gallon live well and 110 gallon fuel capacity (360 miles), all powered by a Susuki 250 HP with a capacity for four anglers.
Our CaribePro 23.5 Sport was custom-built by Boss Boats (in Panama) for river fishing, with the offshore fishing capability. Its 23.5’ in length, 7’ 6” wide featuring a center console and rod holders, all powered by a Suzuki 4 stroke 115HP with a capacity for two anglers.
GEAR
Our boats can be readied for river fishing or offshore fishing, based on your request. We use Shimano and Penn International reels and custom rods in the 16 to 50 pound class and two 80 pound class outfits.
Each boat can be readied with spinning rods, bait rods, hand lines, harness, belly gimbals, Moldcraft lures, a set of teasers, Marlin and Sailfish leaders, gaffs and a limited supply of plugs.
