What is a Panga Style Boat?
The Panga boat is not well understood in the United States, however they have been used for commercial purposes for decades now. It’s not uncommon to see a fisherman in a Panga 100 miles from shore fishing for days at a time without issues. These boats are extremely reliable and seaworthy. This is why we consider them to be some of the best fishing boats out there!
What’s unique about the Panga is the overall look and function. They have that distinctive “banana” look which makes them different and gives them character. They are also long and thin and extremely efficient with lower horsepower. Many people are afraid of the narrow beam and there is no reason to be. It’s not “tippy” as you would think. This design has been used all over the world and is gaining popularity throughout.
Panga hulls are also designed to carry heavy loads while remaining efficient on the water. Although they’re not the fastest boat on the water, they will certainly bring you back safely, even in the harshest of conditions. A Panga is a mono-hull boat with a high sweeping bow that will easily break down large waves and keep you dry throughout the ride. While on a plane, they ride flat and can access the shallowest places that any backwater fisherman can find. Does this sounds like a boat you want to own?
