We’ve since hosted thousands of anglers from around the world and been featured in Marlin Magazine, Saltwater Sportsman, Anglers Journal, Sportfishing TV and others.
These days, we operate a fleet of five boats. Our handcrafted guesthouses can accommodate up to 24 anglers.
The Lodge experience combines great fishing, really good food, and incredible, natural beauty. We proudly call Isla Parida—located right in the middle of Panama’s incredible Gulf of Chiriquí—home. Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge is owned by its founders, the Jarvis family.
Our professional, experienced, English-speaking crews know the Gulf of Chiriquí. Each is equipped with a high-performance 33’ catamaran outfitted with the finest gear and tackle.
Our crews are well-versed in all of the incredible diversity of fishing options here. From live baiting for marlin, throwing poppers into tuna frenzies, to catching roosterfish and cubera inshore, they are passionate, expert, and they are ready.

Located about 38 miles from the lodge, our boats are perfectly outfitted to show you what Hannibal Bank is all about.
This was my third trip with Shane, Feb 2025, and this time we brought a crew of 9. This is the best fishing experience I have experienced or can imagine. It is also a five star, boutique, curated experience in a remote location abutting one of the worlds richest fishing grounds. Amenities, cuisine and drinks are all top notch.
Everything was seamless and Shane Jarvis and his crew attend to all details, arrangements, glitches and the like.
I was a little skeptical when I read all the great reviews but after going I realize they were all correct. This is a top notch operation. Boats, gear and crew were top of the line, I took my 10 year old son and we had 3 amazing days of fishing. They worked hard to get us on the fish and delivered on everything advertised. The lodge was amazing. For an off the grid remote island they had great rooms, a/c, hot water, internet, tv and all that though we were so tired by the end of the day we really just fell asleep. The food and lodge staff were amazing. Everyone was very nice and made the whole trip a breeze logistically.
I can’t believe how perfect this place was. From the initial experience, to the very comfortable lodging, some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, and amazing fishing, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back! Especially for the food!
Tuna. Marlin. Roosterfish. Mountains of sashimi. The stuff fishing dreams are made of. Let’s do it.
