Hook a fish, hook a memory! The Islamorada Junior Sailfish Tournament is where kids 16 and under take on the thrill of chasing sailfish in the Florida Keys. More than a tournament, it’s a tradition built on camaraderie, sportsmanship, and a love of fishing!

The fun kicks off with a welcome party at The Sandbar at Whale Harbor, where anglers meet, swap stories, and prep for the days ahead. Fishing begins the following morning, with lines in at first light and weigh-ins after the day’s action.

The final day brings more time on the water before everyone gathers for the awards banquet. Winners are celebrated, raffles are drawn, and silent auction items are wrapped up — all against the backdrop of an iconic Islamorada sunset.
