Cuba is preparing to welcome sport fishermen from around the world with the celebration of the International Big Game Trolling Fishing Tournament. The event will take place from October 14 -19 in Jardines del Rey, one of the country's most iconic tourist destinations.

Marinas Marlin is organizing the tournament in the northern area of Cayos Coco and Cayos Guillermo, where natural conditions favor the practice of sport fishing. The competition area extends up to five miles north-northeast of these islets, renowned for their abundance of pelagic and billfish species. These include blue marlin, wahoo, white and fan marlin, and dorado.

Specialists point out that the period between October and December is ideal for fishing in this region. During these months, the movement of species off the Cuban cays increases, especially the fan marlin, also known as the sailfish.

The tournament is open to professionals, amateurs, and those connected to the world of sport fishing. Membership of clubs or federations is not required to participate. The event offers an opportunity to explore the sea, learn about its species, and share experiences with other enthusiasts of this activity.

Those interested should send their registration application to comercial@cco.marlin.tur.cu, reserva@cco.marlin.tur.cu, or dircomercial@marlin.tur.cu. For more information, please call +53 5 9883491.
