![](mailto:?subject=Get Lost with Big Fish with Paddle Panama&body=Hefty roosterfish towing your kayak like a water ski. Tussling with peacock bass all day long in a freshwater lake. Exploring a remote jungle wilderness with your paddle and a fishing rod.
These are just a few of the heart-pounding outback adventures for you and your family to choose from with Paddle Panama operated by water sports wizard/adventurer Captain Hennie Marais, a Guy Harvey Outpost Outfitter based in Panama City, Panama.
A few years back, Marais opened Panama Paddle Center-- the Central American country's first-ever retail shop, club and outfitter dedicated to kayaking. Here you can buy or rent several different models of kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, get paddling instruction, sign up for races and fishing tournaments, and --best of all--arrange the kayak fishing vacation of a lifetime.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kayak2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4647" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/kayak2.jpg" alt="kayak2" width="1280" height="853" /></a>
For a remote wilderness experience, you might choose the "Lost Coast" of the Pacific near Bahia Honda. Stay in a thatch-roofed hut on the property of a local family and then paddle out to try to tangle with a roosterfish, big amberjack or Cubera snapper.
Or join Marais on a four-wheel-drive road trip along the "Tuna Coast" of the Gulf of Panama, overnighting in hostels and chasing yellowfins so big they drag your kayak on plane. Continue to the Darien coast to pursue roosterfish, big Cuberas and many pelagic species. More than 300 International Game Fish Association world records have been set in this region.

For a freshwater expedition, you'll want to head inland to Lake Gatun to enjoy non-stop peacock bass action. You can catch tarpon and snook in the adjacent Chagres River. The floating Gatun Explorer serves as your base camp.
These guided kayak fishing expeditions generally run four to seven days and accommodate up to four anglers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - <a title="Guy Harvey on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/DrGuyHarvey" target="_blank">Guy Harvey</a>, Chairman of <a title="GHO web site" href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts & Lodges</a> announced today that Bimini Sands Resort & Marina has joined the company’s Expedition Collection, a portfolio of Outpost properties that stretches through the Bahamas, Caribbean and Galapagos Islands.
“We are thrilled that Bimini Sands invited us back to Bimini,” noted Harvey, a celebrated international marine wildlife artist, scientist and conservationist. In announcing the company’s return to the legendary fishing island, Harvey added: “Our fans want us back in Bimini to help promote and protect the island’s heritage they have enjoyed for years and hope to pass on to the next generation.”
The company returns to Bimini after helping reopen another resort on North Bimini in 2010. “We turned the lights back on in sleepy Alice Town, but now it’s a boom town on North Bimini,” notes Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts & Lodges President Mark Ellert. “Bimini Sands offers our customers what they want – lots of activities, great facilities and an incredible vacation value. Add the laid back vibe of South Bimini, and whether you’re traveling with family or friends for a weekend or a week, you’ll have a visit worthy of a Hemingway story.”
Adds Guy Harvey, “Life’s an adventure, and with this affiliation, we now can enjoy sharing adventures with our friends and colleagues who live and work on South Bimini at Bimini Sands.”
The only resort on South Bimini, Bimini Sands is Resort & Marina is a familiar beacon to boaters, with its oceanfront townhouses steps from a powder soft beach. In addition to being the only marina in Bimini to carry the internationally recognized Blue Flag designation for environmental stewardship, it is also a member of the Shark Free Marina Initiative and active promoter or shark conservation measures.
South Bimini is home of the renown Bimini Shark Lab, under the direction of Dr. Samuel Gruber, a collaborator of Dr. Harvey and his <a title="GHRI web site" href="http://www.nova.edu/ocean/ghri/" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Research Institute</a> in cutting edge shark tagging and research. “South Bimini is one of the world’s foremost shark research outposts. It’s only fitting we should have our Outpost here too,” added Ellert.
The Bimini Sands Resort & Marina has an extensive activities program supervised by Grant Johnson and Katie Grudecki, both graduates and former managers of the Shark Lab. It offers a full complement of resort facilities in addition to its eco-tourism activities and water sports.
The resort is also home to Neal Watson’s Bimini Scuba Center, a full service dive operation established last year by Outpost Director of Dive Operations, Neal Watson. The resort is earning rave reviews among recreational divers, scientists and international film crews for its Hammerhead Shark dives and Big Animal Safaris. “Neal is synonymous with Bimini diving,” adds Guy. “If you’re diving Bimini for research or recreation, why dive with anyone else, and why stay anywhere but Bimini Sands?”
Neal Watson adds, “we gave our dive boat my nickname, the Dive God, so there would be no confusion over who’s running the show. But given Guy’s diving record, it looks like we’ll be working on our rock, paper, scissors skills to see who’s in charge when he comes aboard!” Guy Harvey was inducted this past year into the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame.
“We have townhouse units sitting directly on the beach with a new infinity pool complex, some of the best dining and entertainment to be had in Bimini, and a marina with floating docks, fuel, on-site customs and a direct channel to open water,” notes Frank Cooney, owner of the resort. ”Unquestionably, we are the best family friendly resort in Bimini for the Guy Harvey Outpost customer, whether you’re an angler, diver or just a beach-potato,” he adds with a grin.
