Perfect boat for fishing

Panama

31′ Bertram 

The cabin has been customized

For charter fishing in the tropics, maximizing the interior space and airflow. Six men can sit comfortably around two retractable card tables. Lower the tables to create two long, wide bunks, where two tall men can stretch out comfortably. The large bunks accommodate four bean bag chairs, for chilling comfortably the shade.

Countless catches have been attributed to the Joker’s marlin tower.

The elevated perspective helps you see further and deeper into the water. Makes a huge difference spotting  fish and birds, logs and splashes that lead to hookups. The marlin tower also helps the skipper fish in closer to the rocks and shoreline which leads to a lot of bites.

The Joker sports extended double spreader outriggers.

These extra-long outriggers support four lines spread far apart behind the boat. The outriggers allow for instant drop-back when a fish strikes, just as you’d wish.

This genuine Sport-fisher features six custom-built tuna tubes

Powered by two independent raw water pumps. Conveniently and stylishly built into the transom, these live wells hold the large baits we use to catch big fish.

Heavy-duty fighting chair

 The chair helps make quick work of the biggest fish. You use your legs when seated in the chair to fight a fish. The mechanical advantage with bent butt rods allows you to bring a big tuna or marlin to the boat much more efficiently. This clear advantage is beneficial for both you and the fish we often intend to release.

 

                                The Joker is safe, stable, spacious and uncluttered. It’s maneuverability is awesome to experience when hooked up to a marlin is in close quarters.

The Captain

I’m Tom Yust, originally from Missouri, and my passion for fishing has led me to the stunning waters of Panama since 1991. My journey began on a 65’ motor yacht in southern Costa Rica, where I discovered the enchanting Coiba Islands.

Over the years, I’ve embraced the challenges of chartering in this beautiful, uninhabited region. My commitment to sustainable fishing and sharing the thrill of the catch has been incredibly rewarding. Each day on the water is a testament to my love for this paradise and the adventures it offers.
