Each year, new anglers and old friends come to Islamorada to participate in this prestigious event. The Islamorada Sailfish
Tournament is the first leg of the coveted Florida Keys Gold Cup Sailfish Championship. The tournament is also a qualifying
event for the IGFA Offshore World Championship.
Once again, Whale Harbor Inn & Marina will host the Islamorada Sailfish Tournament. The all you can eat seafood buffet
with stone crabs added will kick off this year's event. Whale Harbor's Braza Lena Brazilian Steak House will amaze you
with another all you can eat feast during our awards ceremony. As tournament headquarters, Whale Harbor will be home to the
tournament Committee Boat. We invite your friends and family to stop by for up to the minute tournament results and listen
for live updates on the radio!
This year the Islander Resort has joined in on the action, contact Shannon O'Berry at 800.753.6002, ext. 710 to reserve
