The story

Bermuda Triple Crown Championship in Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and offshore waters

Three linked tournaments over roughly nine days each July make up the Bermuda Triple Crown Championship, a blue marlin big-game fishing series based out of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Combined points across the Bermuda Billfish Blast, Bermuda Big Game Classic and Sea Horse Anglers Club Billfish Tournament crown an overall champion. Visitors without a boat can watch the dockside weigh-ins, where the season's biggest catches are hoisted and measured.

Blue marlin fishing turns Bermuda's offshore waters into a competitive circuit each July, when three separate tournaments run back to back under a single combined scoreboard called the Bermuda Triple Crown Championship.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Bermuda's location next to a steep undersea drop-off means boats can reach prime blue marlin grounds in well under an hour, letting crews fish longer and compete across three tournaments in a single week without the multi-hour transits that similar big-game series require elsewhere

02

The mystery stays covered

The combined-points format also rewards consistency over a single lucky catch, so the overall Triple Crown champion typically has performed well across all three legs rather than winning one event outright

03

The city starts moving

Purses across the series run into six figures, drawing competitive teams from the United States and beyond, and live scoring lets people onshore track releases and weigh-ins tournament by tournament rather than waiting for a single final result
