U.S. Virgin Islands Open/Atlantic Blue Marlin Tournament

The Atlantic Blue Marlin Tournament is an environmentally friendly fishing tournament that rewards trophies to anglers who catch the bluest marlin as well as those who tag and release the most fish. The USVI Open/Atlantic Blue Marlin Tournament has become one of the world's most prominent fishing tournaments! With so much talent on display, winning usually requires a combination of chance and skill!

Chuck Senf, a Virgin Island angler, founded the USVI Open/Atlantic Blue Marlin Tournament in 1972. Senf and other sports fishermen started the event to raise awareness of the Virgin Islands' excellent Blue Marlin catch. In addition, proceeds from the tournament were donated to the Boy Scouts of America's Virgin Islands Council, one of Senf's favorite organizations. Since then, the USVI Open/Atlantic Blue Marlin Tournament has been dubbed the "Boy Scout" Tournament.
