The story

Man O War Marina Village Offshore Fishing Tournament in Man-O-War Cay

Man O War Marina Village Offshore Fishing Tournament is a multi-day sport-fishing competition based at the marina village on Man-O-War Cay, a small boat-building settlement in Abaco reachable only by boat. Weigh-ins and dockside gatherings at the marina anchor the event alongside the offshore fishing itself, typically in late April into early May.

Man O War Marina Village Offshore Fishing Tournament brings sport-fishing boats to Man-O-War Cay for a multi-day competition centered on the marina village at the heart of this small, traditionally boat-building Abaco settlement.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Man-O-War Cay's identity as a historic wooden-boatbuilding community gives the tournament a distinctive maritime backdrop few Bahamian fishing events can match, with the marina village itself, rather than a generic dock, serving as the social hub for weigh-ins and dockside gatherings

02

The mystery stays covered

Because the cay has no bridge or airstrip, reaching it is part of the event's character, and competing teams typically stage from Marsh Harbour or nearby Abaco cays before running out to the marina for the tournament days
