48th Annual Montego Bay Yacht Club Marlin Tournament Launched
The 48th Annual Montego Bay Yacht Club Marlin Tournament was launched yesterday, and so far, twenty contestants are slated to take part in the canoe segment which starts tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. and ends with a weighing session at 4 p.m.
On Thursday (September 17), the main feature of the tournament will kick off, with at least 15 teams in large boats and mega yachts seeking to snag a prize marlin catch over a three-day period. The event will end on Sunday with a kiddies tournament between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
The Montego Bay Yacht Club’s annual marlin tournament is one of only two such fishing tournaments that are still held in Jamaica. The other is the Port Antonio fishing tournament which is slated to get underway next week.
