The richest fishing tournament in the world returns to Cabo San Lucas

Every October, Los Cabos becomes the epicenter of global sportfishing as it hosts the iconic Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament. Scheduled this year from October 20–25, 2025, the event promises to be more competitive, more extravagant, and more influential than ever.

Nicknamed the “World’s Richest Fishing Tournament,” Bisbee’s is more than a sport—it’s a high-stakes spectacle that draws billionaires, celebrities, high-performance yachts, and elite anglers to the shores of Baja California Sur.

Founded in 1981, the tournament has grown into one of the most prestigious fishing competitions in the world. Participants compete in teams, primarily targeting black and blue marlin, which must typically weigh over 300 pounds to qualify. Categories include daily jackpots, top team overall, and largest qualifying marlin.

In recent editions, the tournament has seen over 100 teams from around the globe, with prize pools exceeding $6.8 million USD. In 2024, the winning catch was a 634-pound black marlin—a testament to the scale and prestige of the event.

Whether you’re a passionate angler, a luxury traveler, or an observer of high-net-worth culture, Bisbee’s Black & Blue transforms Cabo San Lucas into an arena of adrenaline, elegance, and unmatched marine competition.

Global visibility meets Cabo’s luxury lifestyle

The Bisbee’s 2025 isn’t just a tournament—it’s a strategic marketing engine for the region. With total prizes often exceeding $11 million USD, and media coverage spanning the U.S., Latin America and beyond, Los Cabos enjoys an annual spotlight that attracts investment, high-net-worth travelers, and the world’s most refined fishing community.

For developers, investors, and second-home buyers, Bisbee’s adds tremendous brand value to Los Cabos, positioning it as not just a vacation destination, but a long-term lifestyle and wealth hub.
