While the ultimate victory in the prestigious 2025 Blue Marlin World Cup went to a team fishing far from Bermudian waters, the island still made its mark on the global stage. Local boat Legacy landed a significant 556lb blue marlin, securing a commendable third-place finish in the worldwide one-day tournament.
The coveted Blue Marlin World Cup title was claimed by Ultimate Lady, fishing in French Polynesia, with a massive 689lb blue marlin. This impressive catch secured them the top prize in the unique competition, which allows teams to fish anywhere in the world during an eight-hour window in their respective time zones.
Legacy's 556lb blue marlin, caught in the iconic blue waters off Bermuda, represented a strong effort and highlighted the island's continued reputation as a premier destination for giant Atlantic blue marlin.
The Blue Marlin World Cup is a key component of July's Bermuda Triple Crown, a series of highly competitive billfish tournaments that attract top international angling teams. Despite not taking the top spot, Legacy's performance ensures Bermuda's presence on the global leaderboard, showcasing the quality of its fishing grounds and the skill of its crews.
