The sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) is more than just a trophy catch — it’s an icon of power and speed. Known to reach bursts of up to 68 miles per hour (110 km/h), this majestic Billfish is considered the fastest fish in the ocean.
In the Gulf of Panama, sailfish thrive in warm, nutrient-rich waters that provide perfect hunting conditions. The area’s offshore currents attract large schools of baitfish, making it a prime spot for year-round sailfish action. It’s not uncommon for anglers to raise multiple fish in a single day, especially during peak months between December and May.
Sportfishing for sailfish is a true test of skill. From managing the drag pressure to mastering the catch and release technique, every detail matters. At Majoyacht Group, our expert crews ensure that every encounter is both thrilling and sustainable — protecting these magnificent species while giving you the ultimate fishing adventure.
