Since the 1950’s the County of Cape May and its fishing community have held highlighted events for big game offshore fisherman. Over the years these tournaments and fisherman have made our area known for having some of the most productive fishing for White and Blue Marlin and have created some of the most world-renowned captains and crews that target them.

As the sport fishing industry has grown substantially, the recently rebranded Cape May Marlin Tournament puts our region on the map as a must-do event for Marlin fishing enthusiasts. Building on the 60 years of rich history and tradition started at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor, the Cape May Marlin Tournament continues to grow as one of the oldest and prestigious release tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic!
