  • Tropic Star Lodge is arguably the most famous fishing lodge in the world. It is home to more saltwater world records than any other place on earth so it has rightfully earned that reputation. The lodge is on the east side of Panama, nestled into the Darien fainforest. Scattered along the jungle beach are several structures, villas, bars, etc. that make up the fishing lodge. They fish out of old Bertram 31s. Being a self sufficient lodge, they have their own makeshift boatyard on property where they haul the Bertrams up the beach and refit them themselves every couple of years. This trip was truly the trip of a lifetime and I can not recommend this place enough to anyone who has thought about making the trip. Stay tuned for the next several videos where we do some hard core fishing and catch some big marlin.
    As always, please reach out if I can be a resource for anything boating or Bahamas related. Contact information below.

    I was going to turn to another video when I thought it was just a travel video. So glad I didn't! This was an awesome video and it blows my mind how they have such a huge operation with no roads!! It's seriously impressive! Thanks for the video.

      I really appreciate the kind words! I put a lot of time and energy into this Tropic Star series of videos. The operation they have is absolutely unreal

    GREAT Video! Tropic Star is going to be my son's college graduation gift. It's something he's wanted to do after our trip to Costa. For the uninitiated it's REALLY BIG $$$$$

    I have been in that area many times. That airstrip was nothing more than a a drop zone for US Forces. We spent a lot of time on the Colombian boarder. Man this brings back so many memories

    I worked at the Tropic Star back in 2003 place has evolved nicely I taught the locals how to paint those Bertram's during the off season also chef for the off season guests great memories. Just a little history for you. The place originally was a Kennedy family getaway, the big house as we called it with the trolley was their residence.

    Have been lucky enough to fish there 3 times. Caught my first marlin there a 500# black. Was much better when the Andrews ran it.

    Los Suenos Costa Rica Marriott Resort is better family oriented. That mud bank to panga turned me off personally. Not the Adventure I’m looking for.
    Enjoyed your video.
