Fishing Tournament

Sports fishing is indeed more adventurous, bigger and better in The Bahamas.

Get your passports ready, pack your bags and get ready to sail.

The goal of this annual initiative is to protect our waters by controlling the numbers of invasive lionfish in a fun and educational competition. Up for grabs will be cash and prizes, along with the opportunity to enjoy a taste of the lionfish cooked on the spot.

The Bahamas' most elite fishing tournament offers $100,000 in cash prizes (based on 40 boats). An average of about 40-50 invitations are sent out, placing anglers in the center of one of the top Marlin fishing spots in the world.

An exclusive invitation-only Billfish tournament, the Custom Shootout is limited to 50 custom-built inboard boat teams - 32' or larger. The boats chosen represent the U.S. custom boat manufacturers in an all-release format. This all-charity event contributes more than $500,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Wounded Warriors, and many other organizations in need.
