Release. Toast. Repeat. Bermuda’s Ladies Only Billfish Tournament
July 9, 2026
Where competition meets celebration. Raise a glass and experience the excitement of a ladies-only billfish tournament in Bermuda. Open to women of all experience levels, it’s equal parts serious fishing and serious fun.
By day, we chase blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish in one of the world’s premier billfish destinations. By night, toast with Taittinger and celebrate the kind of camaraderie that turns competitors into lifelong friends.
Top three teams earn payouts, a trophy and prize packages. The highest-scoring female angler takes home a trophy and prize package. Eligible species: blue marlin, white marlin, spearfish, and sailfish.
$250 from each entry fee will be donated to P.A.L.S. Cancer Care, a nonprofit organization in Bermuda.
