Key West Marlin Tournament 2027

Fish three days of serious blue-water marlin off Key West during Hemingway Days — the tournament that paid out $260,000 last year and features a $50,000 Marlin Division prize pool for 2026. More ways to win with the optional Fun Fish Division.

Lock in your crew for July 21–24. You can't win if you're not all in.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm excited to fish the 2026 Key West Marlin Tournament with my grandson — his first tournament with me. I've had so many great experiences at this event and I'm looking forward to getting the next generation involved in sportfishing. It's family-friendly, but plenty of competitive juices flow. Tim Green and his team make KWMT a must-fish event.

—Captain Steve Doss, St. Petersburg, FL

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is both a fun and competitive tournament at the same time. It is also the same dates as Hemmingway Days so there's fun to be had downtown during the day for those not fishing. This tournament is a must do! Last year we held 1st place all week but dropped to 2nd in the final hours. This year we're taking it home!

—Captain James Barlow, Tampa, FL
