Kick off sailfish season among the elite with the all new invitation only,
Tournament of Champions.

About Us
The Miami Billfish tournament is back for year #4 thanks to Yamaha and Contender. The Miami Billfish Tournament of Champions will commence every February in Miami Beach, Fl, where the best of the best from previous JJFISHWEEK seasons will be invited to a one of a kind week of luxury indulgence to dust off their rods, reconnect with the competition, and participate in a high intensity sailfish tournament at Miami Beach Marina, where only ONE WINNER will be crowned. This tournament is an INVITE ONLY boutique VIP experience. The 2024 event will commence in a very unique way to accommodate everyone's safety and will celebrate everyone's favorite season, sailfish season in South Florida, with the most decorated teams of the area! Annually, the event is co-hosted and benefiting CI Foundation, whose mission enables community members and organizations to work together and invest in projects that benefit their local area through internationally and nationally recognized annual events and charitable donations. This year's tournament partner beneficiaries include Miami Billfish Foundation and the Coastal Conservation Association of Florida.
