This year, we raise a glass to the sport’s brightest stars with the launch of the inaugural Marlin Awards Ceremony, a new, community-driven evening designed to honor the anglers, captains and innovators who defined bluewater fishing over the past year.

Set for March 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the renowned Sailfish Marina, the cocktail-style reception will unfold during the Palm Beach International Boat Show, giving the industry a relaxed, off-show gathering just 15 minutes from the bustling docks.
