Bisbee’s Cabo Charter Hook-up

A program designed to simultaneously help the Cabo San Lucas charter boat industry bounce back from Hurricane Odile and offer opportunities for people to fulfill their dreams of fishing the Bisbee's Black and Blue Tournament (October 21-25)

This year the first 40 teams who agree to hire a local Cabo charter crew will have their $5,000 tournament entry fee paid by an anonymous benefactor.

The Bisbee’s two tournaments will be held as scheduled this year from October 17-25. The main event is the 34th Black & Blue tournament, which was established by the Bisbee family in Cabo San Lucas in the early 1980s. It has become the richest fishing event in the world giving away upwards of $4 million in prizes each year. Participants in the tournament traditionally include fishing crews who own their own vessels as well as teams who hire local charter boats.

“Cabo San Lucas has been so good to us throughout the years, we are grateful to have this opportunity to give back,” said Bisbee. “The city is already well underway to being 100 percent ready. It’s now mostly a matter of polishing it up. This will be THE Bisbee’s to fish!”

Here's how it works:

This year, the first 40 teams who agree to hire a local Cabo charter crew will have their $5,000 tournament entry fee paid by an anonymous benefactor.

In an effort to level the playing field for everyone, a few stipulations have been set:
  1. Each charter captain will have to agree to a standard same-across-the-board fee of $800.00/day.
  2. All anglers taking part will agree to be assigned their charter crews randomly at a pre-tournament drawing ceremony.
  3. Each team must register and pay the $800.00/day charter boat fee to save their spot as one of the first 40 teams.
Team Details:
  1. The offer is only good for the first 40 teams that register and pay the charter boat fee of $800.00/day.
  2. The offer is good for the base entry fee only and does not include jackpot entries or other side events. Teams may enter additional jackpot categories, however, these categories are not part of the offer and must be paid in full by the team prior to the start of the tournament.
  3. This offer is open to any team that would like to participate, as long as they agree to hire a local charter that is randomly assigned to him or her at a pre-tournament drawing ceremony.
  4. The team must register and pay for the charter boat fee ($800.00/day) in order to save their spot as one of the first 40 teams. If the fee is not paid, the team has not earned the free entry.
