As one of the most prestigious national and international sportfishing tournaments on the West Coast, the Torneo Internacional Puerto Vallarta de Pez Vela y Marlin has upheld a powerful presence among sport fishing tournaments for the past 50 years.
The rich fishing grounds of Banderas Bay and the Mexican Pacific, where we find Sailfish, Blue and Black Marlin, Dorado and Giant Yellowfin Tuna, have made Puerto Vallarta a household word among big-game anglers - and the place to go in Mexico for serious bill fishing.
With 50 years of history under its belt, the Torneo Internacional de Pez Vela y Marlin attracts prestigious fishermen from all over the world. During the last two years, tournament participation has been increasing like never before - reaching a record high of 282 competitors in 102 boats.
Sponsored by the Puerto Vallarta Fishing Club, the Puerto Vallarta International Sailfish and Marlin Tournament has always offered fishermen a quality experience with valuable prizes and a spirit of friendly competition.
This year, the International Sailfish and Marlin Tournament celebrates its 51st year. Scheduled to take place in Puerto Vallarta from Nov 16th-19th, this popular annual event promises to be even bigger and better than ever - with more than $200,000 dollars in cash and prizes to be awarded.
