About Us

The Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournaments are loved by just about everyone in the industry. Participants, sponsors, volunteers; there are plenty of anglers out there today who really did grow up on the Pirate’s Cove docks. We are all in this together – we always have been.

That is the reason why a small group of “local” boys got together and got this idea – take the tournaments, make them non-profit, give as much back to the participants as possible and make this whole thing as fun as ever, Our Board has evolved a little and its still going strong!.

Tournament Director:

Welcome back to Heather Maxwell whose eight year hiatus has thankfully came to a close in 2015. She has never lost the energy and passion that helped make the Pirate’s Cove events so special and is enjoying the challenge of reorganizing and implementing new technologies to make it all more enjoyable for the participants and the arm chair anglers at home.
