Latitude 30 Expeditions Fishing Travel, Booked

Fifty degrees of latitude.
One phone call.

Fishing trips from Sitka to Panama — planned, matched, and booked for you. We know which lodge, which week, and which boat in the fleet. You pack; we handle the rest.

The Idea

We plan it. They run it. You fish.

Booking a lodge halfway around the world usually means trusting a website and hoping. Working with someone who books this water for a living means a person is accountable for your week.

We run boats.

We know the difference

Latitude 30 runs charters out of Freeport, so we know what a well-run fishing operation looks like from the inside. That's how we judge the lodges we send you to.

One number.

Someone in your corner

Flights drop. Weather turns. Boats change. You call us — not an inbox in another time zone — and we work it out with the operator.

Vetted operators.

Local boats, local crews

We book established lodges and captains in each destination. They know their water like we know the Gulf — that's the point.

Destinations

Read it like a chart. Top to bottom, north to south.

Latitude decides the species and the season. So the list runs by latitude — from Alaska's 57th parallel down to Panama's 8th, with home marked where it belongs.

57.05°N135.33°W

Sitka

Southeast Alaska

Halibut on the bottom, kings and coho on top, and a coastline that doesn't look real. Long days — the sun barely sets — and coolers of fish flown home.

SeasonJun – Aug
TargetHalibut, king salmon
Length6 nights
Group6 anglers
29.28°N89.35°W

Venice

Louisiana

The closest thing to home on this list, and still nothing like it. Yellowfin under the rigs, bull reds in the marsh, and a drive instead of a flight.

SeasonOct – Mar
TargetYellowfin, bull reds
Length3 nights

Cabo San Lucas

Baja California Sur

Striped marlin in numbers, tuna behind the porpoise, and the easiest first international trip on the list. Short flight, long fish stories.

SeasonOct – Dec
TargetStriped marlin, tuna
Length4 nights
Group6 anglers
13.93°N90.78°W

Puerto Quetzal

Guatemala

Arguably the best sailfish numbers on the planet. Double-digit release days are normal here, and the fleet runs a short ride to the pocket.

SeasonNov – May
TargetSailfish, dorado
Length4 nights
Group6 anglers
9.64°N84.66°W

Los Sueños

Costa Rica

Sailfish and blue marlin off a marina that's built for exactly this, with enough on shore that a non-fishing spouse has a real week too.

SeasonDec – Apr
TargetSailfish, blue marlin
Length5 nights
Group6 – 8 anglers
7.60°N78.15°W

Piñas Bay

Darién, Panama

The bucket-list stop. Black marlin and roosterfish over the seamounts, rainforest at your back, and no road in — you fly to the strip.

SeasonDec – Apr
TargetBlack marlin, roosterfish
Length6 nights
Group6 anglers

How It Works

Four steps, one phone call to start.

Expeditions aren't booked with a card on a website. They're planned on a call, because dates, group size, and lodge availability all move together.

i.

Tell us where and when

Send the form below or call. We'll talk destination, dates, and who's coming.

ii.

Get a written quote

We check lodge availability and come back with a per-angler price and what it covers.

iii.

Hold it with a deposit

Deposits are taken by phone once you approve the quote. Lodges need lead time — book early.

iv.

Show up and fish

You get an itinerary, a packing list, and a number to call if anything moves.

Thanks — we've got it. Expect a call or email within a day or two to talk through dates and put a real quote together.

Before You Commit

Fair questions.

You can absolutely book direct. What you get with us is someone who isn't the one selling you the room — we'll tell you which weeks actually fish best, which boats in a fleet you want, and which lodge fits your group. And when something moves, you have one number to call instead of an inbox in another time zone.

Our fee comes from the lodges and operators we book, not from you — so in most cases the trip costs you the same as booking direct, with the planning done for you. If a trip ever calls for a separate planning fee, we tell you before you owe anything.

Further than you'd think. Peak weeks at the good lodges get spoken for six to twelve months out, and the best boats go first. If you're eyeing a prime season, start the conversation early.

Nothing is charged through this site. Once you approve a written quote, we take a deposit by phone and the lodge's own terms apply from there — those vary by operator, and we'll put them in writing before you pay anything.

Cancellation terms come from the lodge, and they're stricter than a day charter — that's why travel insurance is on the "strongly recommended" list. We'll spell out the exact terms in your quote so there are no surprises.

At some destinations, yes, and happily — Costa Rica and Cabo especially have plenty on shore. Alaska and Panama are more remote and more fishing-focused. Mention it in your inquiry and we'll steer you to the right one.

Yes, and they work well as client trips — same invoicing, COIs, and NET terms we run on the Gulf charter side. Larger groups mean more boats, so give us extra lead time.
