Highly recommend - The crew was amazing and we enjoyed our time with Evil Panda. The boat was very comfortable and the cookies, cocktails, beer, patacones and salsa, and fruit platter were tasty! The fishing wasn’t popping, but they worked hard to get us all to catch some fish and took us to multiple areas to find where the fish were biting. We ended up getting tuna, snapper, trigger fish, and grouper and ate well that night! They also made sure to point out the wildlife and we got to see dolphins, mating sea turtles, flying fish, and pelicans. They were great with my kids, answering their questions and helping them to have a great time. It was a highlight of the trip for sure and we’d go back to them again if we are in the area.

Fabulous half day on the Evil Panda! - Our family of 7, age 20-70, had the best day on the Evil Panda! The crew picked us up right on the beach closest to our accommodations, asked what we hoped for the day, and delivered on all our requests! Juan Carlos, Nicholas, and Carlos made us feel like family! After a 3 hour fishing trip, they brought us in to snorkel while they prepared a tasty lunch. We highly recommend this excursion! Thank you, Evil Panda for such a memorable experience.

Great crew and tour! - A fun day out on the water with Nikolas and Juan Carlos aboard the Evil Panda! They were so kind and fun, working hard to find us marine life and fish. We didn’t get many bites, but when we did, it was exciting and we reeeled them in. We caught a Spanish Mackerel, a small black tuna and a beautiful Mahi Mahi. Nikolas filleted the Mackerel and made a delicious ceviche dish for our lunch. Music, fishing, sunny skies, we were never without a drink in hand and a great crew made for the perfect last day of our trip. Beware - Nikolas has a heavy pour and those drinks may sneak up on you 😜 We had part of the Mahi grilled by a beach side restaurant after we docked and sent the rest of the filets home with the guys to share with their families. We definitely recommend this trip!

Got picked up at beach by... - Got picked up at beach by our hotel. Everyone got to reel in fish (red snapper and grouper). Great snacks and beverages provided. Saw turtles mating and dolphins. Wonderful experience with Evil Panda crew!

Our charter boat... - Our charter boat experience was absolutely incredible. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome and at ease. Their expertise and knowledge of the area meant we were reeling in fish in no time. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax between catches. Lunch was surprisingly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying after a morning on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, this crew goes above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable. We laughed, learned, and brought home dinner. An unforgettable day on the water!

Awesome da - We had a great half day fishing with Evil Panda. The crew was very friendly & helpful. Caught a big tuna & lots of red snapper & some smaller tuna. Enjoyed fresh fruit & tuna sashimi prepared by crew on the boat.

Great fishing experience.... - Great fishing experience. Boat crew was fun, insightful, and helpful. Didn’t catch the big one but caught lots of Tuna.

Fantastic day fishing with this fabulous crew - Amazing day fishing with this super fun crew! They picked us up right off the beach from our resort. All 5 of our party caught yellowfin tuna and mahi mahi. Dolphins swam all around us. So cool. Then the crew prepared a delicious snack with our catch. We totally recommend Evil Panda!

Unprofessional Behavior doesn’t deserve to go unpunished - I booked this excursion on June 23rd. I reached out on July 11th to confirm the excursion and confirm our pickup or meeting point and the tour guide immediately started trying to change our plans. Apparently someone “Double Booked” and even though I booked first and I was on his calendar he immediately went to accommodating his new customer “Vanessa” and asked if we wanted to do a evening excursion instead. I insisted on our original plans for my group since it would be our last day in town. Fast forward to July 14th, the company won’t answer txt or calls via WhatsApp and wouldn’t answer calls from Viator either. I WARN YOU, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CHARTER. I think he chose his other customers because they may have paid cash in his pocket instead of using an agency, he tried to encourage me to cancel via Viator and pay in cash. I sent all the screenshots and correspondence to Viator. This company should be banned from listing on Viator or any TripAdvisor owned website. They’ll also tell you they can’t guarantee a catch, which I understand, but when you have a group paying you for an experience you should be more optimistic. Luckily as we walked back to our Airbnb, we ran into a guy offering excursions and he found us a captain and fishing charter immediately. We caught 3 yellow fin tuna, they filleted them, and even came to our airbnb and cooked us dinner. Best part of the trip! They also took us to multiple other beaches and we saw and fed monkeys, looked for lobsters, and enjoyed the beaches… there are better tours out there on the beach.

Failed to show for confirmed booking - Zero stars. Failed to show for a confirmed booking. Booked four days ago for three kids and two parents, got up two hours prior to get ready, everything was confirmed but we never got picked up. Called and was told to cancel on our side. We did talk to someone who told us the third party booking company over books. If this company doesnt want to be listed on a 3rd party remove yourself. Horrible experience for us waiting doays on availability of the vendors calendar and they missed showing up. No chance to rebook as we leave tomorrow. Generous cancelation policy for the vendors with no refund 24 hours prior but nothing for the customer when they fail to do their job and show up for a booking.
