OUR HISTORY
The association’s founding members started the tournament because of their passion for fishing. The Saint Martin Billfish Tournament was created in 1997 on the island of Saint Martin.
Today, due to the large number of billfish released each year and the average size of the fish caught the Saint Martin Billfish Tournament is now recognized as one of the premier sport fishing tournaments in the Caribbean.
This tournament will be organized for the 5th time this year by the Saint Martin Sport-Fishing Association.
