Breaking News: Buccaneer Cup Update
Time to Register for the 58th Annual Buccaneer Cup Sailfish Release Tournament
The 58th Annual Buccaneer Cup Tournament is slated for January 20-23, 2021. Given all 2020 brought our way, more than ever we are looking forward to a new year and a little normalcy. In order to keep the historic tournament a “social” event we have arranged to host our Captains Meeting (January 20) at The Viking Service Center in Riviera Beach, where there will be multiple food trucks

and stations available for dining as well as “physically distanced” tables and areas where teams can safely gather to receive their team gifts and shirts. All this is being done with an eye toward CDC guidelines and your safety while making it possible to enjoy the camaraderie that is synonymous with the Buccaneer Cup. We have worked closely with the Sailfish Club of Florida to be able to put on our highly anticipated awards dinner and seafood extravaganza, one of the highlights of the tournament. The Club has implemented all required safety protocols and will limit table sizes while providing team’s table with their own seafood platters and meals. The cocktail hour will be moved onto the outside veranda and lawns overlooking the marina to allow for increased social distancing. Given all these minor logistical changes –we have never felt so fortunate as to live, work and play in such a beautiful place. We anticipate a great week of fishing as the sails have been snapping here in South Florida since early November. And with record participation in tournaments leading up to the Buc Cup we are eager to see what 2021 holds for us. Registration is open now! Be sure to reserve your teams spot as the Sailfish Club dinner, which will be limited to the first 30 boats registered. For questions and more information please contact Tournament Director Courtney Bowden at director@buccaneercup.com or by calling 561-909-7868. We look forward to supporting both the Recreational Fishing Alliance and The Billfish Foundation in the New Year as they need our help more than ever.
