A great addition in recent years to the Bermuda Big Game Classic is the Marlin Magazine Manufacturer's Cup. This Cup gives the biggest named boat brands in big game fishing the chance to compete within one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. This year we have 8 boat builders represented by 27 privately owned boats (more than double the field from 2005) competing among the field of 58 boats in the tournament.

Last year the Jarrett Bay Boatworks, 56 foot Southern Exposure, took top honors in dramatic fashion with a grander, as well as 4 blue marlin releases. This year the competition stiffens as more brands and twice the boats compete for top honors, beautiful trophies and bragging rights for the entire year until next summer's competition.
